We did our wedding as cheaply as possible, but as we had all the relatives (well, all my relatives) it was still a traditional "do".
We didn't bother with flowers, Cambridge registry office has flowers in it permanently anyway. We had the meal in an Indian restaurant and the "disco" afterwards was done by friends who DJ at a local goth club (the older generation improvised a ceilidh as well).
We did get a photographer, because we knew that many relatives abroad who couldn't come would want the traditional everyone-lined-up snaps, and didn't have any relatives who we knew were good enough snappers. The photos are what you get to keep, 10, 20, 40 years on, so worth putting a lot of thought into.
We put fake flowers and a teddy bear on the cake :).
And we got all the booze by taking a white van to Calais for the day via the Eurotunnel.
