My top 3 picks for cards to cut in favor of more ramp:
1) Oketra's Monument - While cost reduction is great, it only impacts your white creatures. In a mono-white dedicated creature deck this would be great. For your deck, mana ramp that can be used on every spell would be better.
2) Skullclamp - while an awesome card, it is best with 1-toughness creatures. You have very few (only 1?). You won't get a lot of value.
3) Anointed Procession - while you do have some token creation, that seems to be the back-up plan. Your primary plan is to voltron a single creature. Again, not a lot of value.
Another factor in your mana may be a lot of lands entering the battlefield tapped. In a 2-color deck, you don't often need a lot of dual lands. Especially when those lands will slow you down, and especially when one of the colors is green. I would cut (at least) the following in favor of basic lands:
Elfhame Palace
Grasslands
Kabira Crossroads
Selesnya Guildgate
Tranquil Expanse
Vivid Grove
Vivid Meadow
Hope this helps
