Hello Hive! We’re back!!! I’ve missed you, and I can’t wait to share everything with you!
The wedding was nothing short of the most amazing, perfect, surreal, awesomest day of our lives. All of our loved ones from all different parts of our life journey there in one place for that one rare and precious day, smiling down so much love on us, sharing in our moment as we exchanged our vows and made our lifetime commitment to love one another…There simply are no words to describe how priceless the whole experience was.
Our pro pics won’t be ready for a while, so in the meantime, I will be posting about our Moorean honeymoon and our plethora of DIY projects, including our programs, name cards, the how-to on our invitations that I promised, and more! I’ll leave you with a glimpse into our day with some fabulous photos of our “first” moments, taken by our family and friends.
First look…
First kiss…
First announcement as hubby and wife!…
First drink…
First bite…
First dance…

@Elaine: Hi Elaine, I ended up using a company called Design Visage, which I plan to post a review on. They are a bit on the pricier side, but you definitely pay for what you get! I was incredibly happy with them and they are so professional! I felt like it was worth the money (I think for wedding day, it’s $150 for hair and $100 for makeup, but I’ll have to double check).
Aww, so pretty! Can’t wait to see more!
You look so pretty mrs. daffodil. Congrats! I especially like your hair. Do you have close up pics of your hair that I can use for my trial? Or maybe pics that you used for your examples. Thanks so much!!!! wp52408 at gmail dot com.

About Me: I moved around a lot growing up, but consider myself a Southerner at heart. I love scrapbooking, dancing, doggies, and diet coke. I am all about personalizing everything and hence, I'm a DIY bride who is just loving the entire wedding planning process! Mr. Daffodil and I met in our college fellowship group and were "just friends" for three years before we started dating. We've been together for four years now and can't wait to get married in sunny SoCal, Mr. Daffodil's hometown.
Congrats! You look so beautiful and happy! I look forward to more pictures!
