reception ideas...

...ok so now I am thinking that making a wedding cake may be a little tricky. How about these adorable cupcakes?! Are cupcakes really any easier than one big cake?!

The little flower gardland is adorable...I think I will be incorporating these cute fabric flowers somewhere...

Maybe some flowers for the table, I love the fresh greenery and little white flowers...a little wild-flowery look...with some burlap table runners and heavy white floor-length drop cloths on the tables...like the picture below...

How tasty does this appetizer set-up look?!

the ceremony...

Matt and I would like to do some fun renovations to the corral that we plan to get married in... here is what the aisle could look like with buckets of flowers...

Ceremony seating of hay bales covered in quilts...

sneak peek...

So here is a sneak peak at our chosen fabric themes for the wedding. Of course its Amy Butler... And I love it.

backyard inspiration....

Croquet...YES. Matt and I will be attempting to make our own, thanks to Tracy's Gopher Downs Game.

the colors and house inspiration...

Here are some of our favorite things in our house that show the colors we are planning our wedding around. There is also a picture of our IKEA plates we bought, and the paint swatches we picked out.

green - yellow - white - brown

...some inspiration...

The whole idea behind setting up our own blog is that there are so many great ideas out there we want to pull it all together! So here is a bit of the feeling we'd like to have at our wedding... an outdoor/backyard/self-catered/ DIY wedding. We will be recruiting friends and family to help us, and a lot of prep work to have it run smoothly and just have a ton of fun uniting two families.

I love...wildflower bouquets, buffet tables for appetizers/desserts, ribbons hanging from the trees, outdoor string lighting, mason jar candles, mason jar vases, chalkboard menu.
