A wedding? Aren't you already married?

Howdy folks! So...as most of you all know Justin and I have been married for almost 2 1/2 years (2 years, 4 months, 1 week and 4 days to be exact). Since we did the whole "Courthouse Wedding" thing, and never had a "real wedding", Justin came up with a brilliant idea, to have our wedding on our 5 year wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it's already been 2 1/2 years! So, since we're on a budget and I want to hand-make as much as I can for our wedding- I decided that now is the best time to start planning it. I've never dreamed of a "fairy-tale" wedding. It's not appealing to me. I'd much rather have a casual, intimate wedding with just our close friends and family. I know we both want an outdoor wedding (ceremony) with the reception in a barn or tent, in the summer, and at night. I think the perfect setting would be in or around Justin's hometown of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. It's so beautiful and green in the summer. I know we want lots of lanterns lighting the ceremony along with bold reds, oranges, and yellows (and lots of sunflowers!). After all I'm still in the brainstorming phase but here are some of our ideas for our "rustic-country wedding", enjoy! :)

The invitations (I thought this idea was soooo cute! It reminded me of old Johnny Cash music posters)
