I like the gold the best, but I think you need to change the white background to gold (very light) or someth other soft, not so stark contrast. I can really "see" gold candles and nice china!

I am planning on putting sashing between the blocks and using christmas green for the backing and binding. I am just not happy with with it so far. I am wanting something that is elegant and pops. I haven't even decided on the color of the sashing yet.

Use black as your center, there is a nice selection of black for Christmas out in the lqs. You have black going through some of your Christmas prints, and a black center would pull it all together. Try to find a print with some gold or a little red going through the black.

My first choice would be # 3, if you want it to be more elegant. I would also not do the white background. I think maybe a soft color would make it more elegant. I do love your dresden plates. They are so pretty, I can't imagine your finished quilt not being beautiful, no matter what you choose. Please post a picture when you are finished.
