Enough from me- here is Sara to walk you through her day.
Our wedding was vintage-inspired, nature-inspired, eco-friendly and absolutely, 100% us. We were engaged for 11 months before our wedding, and I spent most of those 11 months working each day on something for the wedding.
(side note) Seriously guys- Sara and Jordan were really a DIY duo! Check out just a few of the things they created for their wedding: all the wedding stationery, from save the date cards to programs to thank you cards, a rice krispie treat wedding cake (I die!), cake table bunting, burlap table squares, all signage except for the guestbook itself, garter & throw-away garter, bridesmaids hair pieces, and more! Amazing. Ok - back to Sara!
We spent 6 months designing all of the pieces in our wedding invitation suite, and probably another 2-3 months designing all of the other wedding stationery. It was some of the most enjoyable months of wedding planning - these were projects that my husband and I completed together, and we enjoyed putting our creative minds together. The end result is more than we could have imagined! 
Our reception centerpieces included 1-2 birdhouses (my mother collects birdhouses, so we honored her by incorporating pieces from her collection. The birdhouses also brought in our nature-inspired, eco-friendly vibe; since she already owned the birdhouses, we didn't need to purchase centerpieces, thereby reducing our waste impact!), a wedding photo of our relatives, a wooden letter "G" that I painted ivory and distressed, and a sign, explaining our centerpiece choices and our commitment to being eco-friendly. We also made napkins out of fabric that we purchased locally, and folded cootie catchers with trivia about my husband and I as a couple. Last, tucked inside the napkins on the tables was a ticket to our Photobooth, encouraging guests to take 5 minutes in the photobooth that we made.
We served Mexican food (our favorite), danced to Michael Buble's "Everything" for our first dance, and boogied the rest of the night away to our favorite tunes blaring from our iPod. It was the most memorable day of our lives, and we feel so grateful to our families and friends for all of their help, love and support.
