I hope I didn't miss this in your post, but would you want to include a favor of some sort - a donation, or a tangible item?
Otherwise, I'm not sure where the line between simple and complicated is, but it sounds like you have everything covered! It sounds like a lovely wedding!
I really don't see anything you missed :) I like your post b/c I have a similar wedding party! When I see other people's weddings...you always see the Bride with like 5 Bridesmaids & a MOH, several Groomsmen & BM & we aren't having all that. My Fiance isn't having a BM & I am only having a JR MOH..we are having a flower girl & ring bearer..but our wedding party is still pretty small! It has really saved us money too!! So it's nice to see this post & know that there are other Brides doign the same! It sounds like you are going to have a lovely wedding!
Do you have readers that might need a bout or corsage?
A vase to hold your bouquet during the reception?
Photographer, videographer, & officiant (not decor, I know, but you listed other services and not this), favors, anything you might want for the ceremony (arch, unity candles, etc), programs, menus, table numbers, any signage you may want, possibly a card box for the gift table, maybe bathroom baskets, all the little stuff but it sounds like you've got a ton covered already!
@tgw184: You sound like you have most of it covered for sure! Way to go girl! ...just incase you wanna double check - here is a very helpful "Wedding Checklist" you can look over.

Best wishes lovely! :)
Transportation to/from where ever you're getting married & after? unless DIY
Hair/make up for you? unless DIY
Hotel for the wedding night? :]
HONEYMOON?!!??! :D
All the little details are what make a wedding yours so if you see something you like, add it!
otherwise~ ENJOY! :D
I would recommend getting a corsage or bout for the mothers as well. Other than that, everyone else seemed to touch on suggestions I would also recommend.
Oh! And if outside = grass, you might want to pick up those little heel-saver things (can't remember what they're called) so that you're heels don't pierce the grass).

My FH and I are having a rather simple ceremony and reception, in the scheme of things. Neither of us have attendants. My father will walk me down the aisle, and we will have important people escort other important people to seats. However, we will stand alone at the front. Without a wedding party, it removes a lot from the to do list.
The ceremony will be located outside the renovated church that the reception will be held in. There is plenty of beautiful landscaping outside, so the only decor we will have are aisle decorations that I will be making myself.
We aren't going to have a flower girl or ring bearer, so we purchased antique ring boxes (my dress has pockets, and obviously his pants do as well) so that the ceremony of the ring exchange isn't completely informal.
So, concerning the ceremony, all I've had to get were: ring boxes, aisle decorations, my bridal bouquet and my FH and father's boutonnieres.
As for the reception, the venue provides: fresh flower centerpieces, bridal and grooms cake, beverages, catering, china, day of coordination, sound system, wireless microphone, DJ services, tables, chairs, linens, wait staff, and the hotel for the night of for the bride and groom.
So, what I figured I had left to organize/purchase: guest book and decorations for the guest book table, decorations for the sweetheart table, and escort cards and decorations for the escort card table.
For anyone else that had a rather simple ceremony and reception, did you regret not incorporating anything else in it? Is there anything else that you think I might be missing?
For people with complicated weddings, was there anything that you see I missed that YOU couldn't live without?
Thanks!
