What are some inexpensive ways to decorate guest tables at a wedding?

Barbara T asked:


Daughter is getting married the end of next month. Because of the short notice, we are trying to keep the expensives at a minimum. Do we even need to decorate the guest tables? Any suggestions for the head table? Any suggestions or tips are very welcome.

    Use photos of bride and groom at various stages of their lives. Place small, framed photos amid greenery.

    You can always do mirrors with candles on them and sprinkle flower petals around - this is a great look, easy to do and very cost efficient!!
