For vases, check your Dollar Tree. I got plain cylinder vases for $1 each and spray painted them so they looked like frosted glass (with a hidden Mickey on each one). I think I needed 18 of them, so $18, plus about $9 (guessing) for paint. $1.50 each. Instead of buying something that cost $4 or more each. Once the flowers are in them, the guest don't notice the containers as much. The money I saved went for better flowers (and more cake!).
I also bought plain black 4 x 6 inch frames at the Dollar Tree and glued rhinestones around the edges. Used chalkboard paint on the glass that came with the frame, and my sister wrote in the table numbers with chalk.
Our wedding wasn't cheap, overall, but I sure was going to spend more money on food and drink and flowers than on table numbers that no one will remember. (and, vases and table numbers can be gifted or sold to future brides)
Do look at cvlinens dot com for table runners. They had the best prices we found.
And what a previous poster said about some uplighting-- some DJs will offer a package with music and lighting.
Have fun!
