Come help me find Ultra Modern Glassware and Cutlery to combine with Antique Crystals and Silver

I need help from style gurus out there.

I am having a dinner party. I have Bohemian and Scandinavian Crystal pieces, combined with a very sleek and modern white dinner set from John Lewis. I have Silver Serving spoons for crystal bowls for things like mustard and dill sauce and crowberry jam, etc. I have huge chunky crystal glasses for the red wine to go with the main dish. I want tall flutes for sparkling /white wine for starters. I have silver chandeliers and Ittala glass candle holders. I want to create and atmosphere. I need a runner or a table cloth.

Where can I find tall and sleek champagne flutes / white wine glasses?
A stylish runner / table cloth to match?
Modern, stylish (and cheap) cutlery set for at least six people.

Oh, and I am on a budget.

Heal's or Habitat?

Habitat is a good idea - these are pretty sleek and minimal and cheap too. Their cutlery is also nice.

if you can brave (eg) Debenhams, M&S or JL you may find some stuff in the sales - funky and bargainous crystal flutes
stupidly cheap flutes
silver runner

Tchibo has some reasonably priced stuff (though not particularly quick delivery, I don't think, so depends when your dinner is happening). Also the White Company have their sale on (still relatively expensive though).

Is The Pier too folksy for you? They also have some nice looking glasses.

Villeroy & Boch do several styles of champagne flutes and wine glasses.

Thank you all!
I love the Pier, so bold and colourful and sparkly! On this occasion the John Lewis flutes and the M&S silver runner seem to match more the pieces I already have.

Tnog, my heart leaps with joy to see you back.

6 hollow stem champagne glasses for £20 - I bought these last year for a dinner party. Cheap and fun, look great with champagne cocktails.

By the way, and without joking - Matalan. I bought charger plates there last year, identical to John Lewis but 40% of the price.

or if you can bear the jumble sale-type ferretting, TKMaxx is worth a look too
