I understand after time rust will form on the patio cement underneath because it is wrought iron, but what can I do to prevent rust forming on our cement? I don't like the idea of artificial grass, etc....
the patio itself isn't rusted, but the issue is this. after time when it rains the rain drips off the wrought iron causing rust on my cement. how di prevent this.

First, you need to sand the rust off the metal. Then you need to paint the bottom of the table and chairs with an outdoor paint made for metal.

Home Depot or Lowe's may haves small pieces of plastic that attach to the legs of the chairs and table for a more long term solution.

Are patio chair cushions really mildew-resistant? Or should I buy patio table cover and chair covers for my new patio set to use when I'm not using it?

covers r a good idea, worth the money. they'll extend the life of ur furniture

Click-close straps lock around furniture legs to secure the cover on windy days.
Air vents reduce condensation and lessen ballooning in wind.
Handles for easy fitting and removal, and adjustable elastic hem cord for a tight, custom fit.

Have a heavy iron patio set with an umbrella stand that weighs 30 pounds. Problem: when it is a little breezy the umbrella tips the table over. The umbrella is secured properly and the table is on a flat even surface. Any ideas before my glass table is ruined?

How is the umbrella secured? The base should be heavy enough to prevent that. In any case, you could try some heavy duty tent stakes at each table leg to see if that helps. Or, depending on how the base is made, you could either add addition weight to it. I'm assuming since the patio is on grass you move it often? If not, you could pour a concrete footing under the base, and attach it that way.

I need a paint that will hold up to chipping and fading in a wet climate for an outdoor aluminum patio table. I want it to match some chairs that were purchased from a different set.

Use Rustoleum. It holds up well outdoors. Here is the link for more info.

Recently purchased a patio set of table, chairs, umbrella, etc. Wondering what the best place to store the table for the winter. Should it be brought inside or just covered for the winter? Worried about the weight of snow which might accumulate on the top (it is glass) and possible damage from freeze/thaw. Should it be stored inside?

well of course it should. you already answered your own question dude. here is a quote from you
