wedding dinner menu?

I want to do a sit down dinner with servers, i know that can get super expensive, but.. i dont have all that much money. what are some good yet simple and possibly a little on the cheaper side menu ideas. I know we both want fried green beans, those are our favorite food. what can we have to compliment those. we are also going to do a fruit/cheese/veggie table with a chocolate fountain and punch fountain and have 3 cakes, one of which is a surprise he doesn't know about. my wedding cake is red velvet and his will be probably something lemon. his favorite. we are doing black and white with a little pink (in the flowers, mini calla lillies, pink and white hydrangeas.) i want the food to match the elegant simple wedding. if that makes any sense.

You could do a "pasta alredo" type of dish where they toss some shrimp or (even cheaper) grilled chicken into the dish. That way it's mostly pasta, which is not expensive. You could serve that w/ a side of broccoli spears or green beans, or broccolini, maybe some "matchstick" veggies of carrots, squash, and zucchini. They'd be pretty on the plate and are not expensive veggies like asparagus. Serve rolsl and butter on the table. Wedding cake(s) for dessert along w/ choc. fountain. The fruit/cheese/veggie trays would be good for snackign on after the meal, while dancing or whatever goes on.

To be honest, I know you both love fried green beans, but I dont' see them as "elegantly simple." Plus, it is very difficult to serve a sit-down meal to numerous guest w/ fried food coming out hot and tasty. Often it just comes out cold and grasy, and that is just how large-group plate assembly goes. So, I'd suggest skipping them, and just eat plenty on your honeymoon! :-)

I need expert advice or someone with a great eye?

I am in the process of redoing my dining room, I am basing all my color choice around my window seat material. The material is black background with large hydrangeas in colors of salmon and alittle pink and taupe(all colors on material are muted and distressed looking) my walls are light salmon, my dining room furniture is black distressed color, my dishes that are displayed are taupe, and the floor is cherry hardwood, SO MY QUESTION is , I want to put a nice rug under the table, what color and pattern should I go with?

First of all I would go with a solid color rug I wouldn't add anything with a pattern to busy to much going on.

Taupe would work but gets dirty fast, the color of the hydrangeas is there a leaf with the flower, or just the flower, if there is a leaf, a green would work and if the rug is like a hunter green or in the green family it would pick up the window seat and tie it together.
