Hello you beautiful hoopers!

My fiance and I are getting married on April 30, 2011!  Woo, big day!  The problem tho is that I am not much of a wedding planner and I don't have the money to hire one.  I would love it if I could grab some ideas from you guys.
We don't have a real theme for the wedding.  We're getting married in a garden and the reception is going to be in a ball room.  Our colors are blue, purple and green, specifically the shades found on a peacock tail.  We are incorporating some peacock tails (fake ones) but we don't want it to be overpowering.  
Our wedding is going to be as eco friendly as possible and we would ideally like all the food to be vegan since my fiance and I are both on a path to veganism.  The problem with that is that we live in a small town in western Kentucky.  Most people don't even know what vegan is, let alone cater with vegan food.  So it has pretty much been determined for us that we will be making our own food.  I know that the week of the wedding is going to be extremely hectic, so we have decided to just offer finger foods and hors d'oeuvres.
Basically, what I am having problems planning in an eco-friendly way are:
-Food
-Decorations
-Center Pieces
-Drinks

I would love to hear any suggestions or really any tips on how to navigate these coming months and still remain sane!  At the end of the day all that matters is that I am marrying my best friend, but I would love to have a wedding that really expresses who we as a couple are.

Here is a link to the place we are getting married.  On this page they only have pictures of the garden but if you click on the link for the pdf they also have pictures of the ball room.  I thought some pictures might help generate some ideas.  :) <3

Congrats!!! My girlfriend works at Whole Foods - I''ll see if she/they have any suggestions for vegan menu items (i'm sure they must!!!) !!

Awww thanks!  That would be great.

I would love to be able to help you out in any way!  You were so nice when you made that tutorial at my request =)  Seriously, CONGRATS!!!  I will look into this for you =)

My friend made her center pieces for pretty cheap from items gotten from hobby lobby/michaels. just candles with some ribbon wrapped around them.

 

joel and i are getting married at the JP then coming back and having a party instead of a formal ceremony. instead of tossing a bouquet i plan to make a mini hoop decorated with ribbons and pretty things and toss it :)

I've seen some great diy weddings on craftster.org. I think craftzine.com has some too.
