Overwhelmed by Planning?

Hey you.

So we're two months out from the big day, and I don't feel excited like I think I should. I feel more stressed out and bummed. We have paid for all of the big things, ceremony location, dinner, dress & suit, rings. But I feel overwhelmed by all of the small costs and things. We initially wanted to keep it very light on decor and flowers, mostly because it felt frivolous and I want our guests to shine. But now I feel like I need signage for the ceremony, bouquets and boutonnieres, corsages, dinner decor, a day of coordinator, etc.

I need guidance. What actually helps the day flow smoothly? What do I realistically need for guests? What do people actually notice, and what would you not do if you could go back?

We capped our ceremony and dinner at 50 people, and are having an open party late night. Ceremony is at a park, cocktail-style dinner at the restaurant we met at, and then happily Ever after party at our favorite cocktail lounge.
