This is a sponsored post in collaboration with MODE.
Posting has been extremely light around here over the last few weeks, and I assure you that I have some very good reasons. The happiest of those reasons, though, is that after a 3-year engagement and 9 1/2 years together, my fiance and I are getting married this summer!
You would think that after such a long engagement that we would have our minds made up about what our perfect wedding day looks like. And you would be wrong. In fact, I’m pretty sure our inability to truly make decisions is what contributed to us having such a lengthy engagement. After looking into the traditional ways in which couples usually go about planning and executing their big day, we settled on a complete DIY event right in our very own backyard. For us, getting married in the space we live in and have shared so many great memories in is perfect. Going the DIY route means that there are more plans, preparations, and projects than ever, and we’ve only got a little over a month to go.
In what is perhaps the most perfect timing ever, Woman Tribune has partnered with MODE to put together two unique collections of ideas and money-saving tips for wedding season.

I love ALL of these ideas. My sister did a cupcake decorating station at her wedding last year and I thought it was the coolest idea.
A popcorn bar? Really??? This sounds simply fabulous. I’m sharing this with my son’s fiancé…. Hopefully she will agree!!!
Those are such great and unique ideas. I am all over that biscuit bar!
Wow! Congratulations! You definitely have a great reason for not posting so much! I can’t wait see what you come up with in the decor and food department. Planning a wedding can be both fun and stressful. I like all in one venues.

This area all fabulous ideas! Love the idea of a pancake bar! Brilliant!
I wish you could post more photos lol, I like your idea, planning fir a wedding is not very easy. This can be helpful.
Love the food bars. They really bring out the style and uniqueness of the wedding setting.
I saw a smores bar with different flavored marshmallows and chocolates a few days ago.
We had a traditional wedding for the most part but we did quite a bit of the decor ourselves. A few friends pitched in and helped with decor they already had.
We served fruit, cheese, chocolate covered strawberries, and cake. It was perfect. I wish you and your soon to be husband all the best. I hope your wedding day is everything that you have imagined it to be.
Those are all so much fun! I would love an ice cream bar every day of the week.
Wonderful ideas. It’s hard to choose from all those yummy food bars.
Oh my! I love all of these! I love the idea of a popcorn bar–so fun!
I went to a wedding with a mashed potato bar once. It wsa AMAZING!
