Centerpieces. In a word, this is my biggest headache. I don't know what to put on the tables. I wish we had the budget for these:

(Photo stolen from Chis on Picasa)Sadly, we don't. I'm having a real hard time coming up with an idea that doesn't suck. This is the inside of our venue.

Yes, we are using those picnic tables. Plus renting some more tables because I don't these will be enough. So I have long tables to contend with. I would rather have round tables but we have rectangle so that's what we work with.
I really don't want candles and if I could find something besides flowers I would use that.

I think found this at Better Homes and Gardens. I don't know if you can see it, but there are artichokes in the arrangements. You know how I love artichokes.

I really like the low centerpiece, but in ivory. What color should I use for the stones? Brown, maybe a gray pebble color?
But if I go for these low centerpieces should I put more than one on each table? Two or three? I don't want a lot of clutter hanging around. Since we'll be serving the food buffet style, plates won't be on the tables. So the tables will look pretty bare. I do want to put a couple of baskets of napkins on each table. I go through napkins like nobodies business so I would appreciate having them handy.
Centerpieces will be a diy project so I don't want something too expensive. I hope some of you will give me ideas. I'm totally open to ideas!
so this is a little random, however, i was on 10,000 wedding blog and i can across your post that you were looking for wedding photogs looking for experience. my best friend is a great photog and just getting into wedding photography. she has been second shooting at weddings a bit. she actually planned her wedding for less than 10 k as well. if you would be interested, let me know. i can give you her contact info. my blog is jennalyns.blogspot.com. just post a comment or something. thanks! and i hope this doesnt seem stalkerish, just networking in the blogging world.
