Weddingbee Blog

Hi, hive! It’s Miss Macarons reporting for duty. I literally can’t tell you how thrilled I am to become a bee! I’ve only retyped this introduction several times because my hands won’t stop shaking. I’ve been a follower of Weddingbee since 2009 and always wanted to apply. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and a procrastinator, but when I finally get an idea/goal in my head, nothing can stop me from trying to reach it. Patience is a virtue I sometimes don’t have, and it was certainly lacking these last few weeks. You can only imagine my excitement and his relief when I told Mr. Macarons about my acceptance.

So who are the Macarons?

I’m a creative at heart and a graphic designer by trade. He’s a Renaissance man and knows a lot about everything. While I buy books for their well-designed covers and layouts, he buys them to read. His idea of camping involves an improvised lean-to, some para-cord, and a knife; mine is more akin to Troop Beverly Hills. I’m a Florida girl, born and raised; he calls Panama City, Panama home after spending most of his life outside the U.S.

Why Miss Macarons?

The choice was obvious. Mr. Macarons and I tried them for the first time during our Bunnymoon (I’ll explain later) and fell in love immediately with the little confections. So much flavor in a crispy yet chewy bite.

{Another olive oil (one of my favorites) and cassis}

They’re one of the greatest achievements ever, IMO; right up there with Nutella, marzipan, and space travel. We can’t get enough of them and frequent a local bakery to the point that they begin packaging up two of each flavor as soon as they see us walk through the door.

Together we’re planning a soft and lovely vintage-meets-modern wedding in a state that’s known for its beaches, glitz, and glam. I have a ton of DIY projects and lots of little details I’m dying to share. Hopefully you’ll learn from my experiences and mistakes along the way, too!

Until then,

Miss Macarons
