Sister’s Sassy Invites!

October 27th, 2009 @ 4:17 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

Many of you may remember my obsession with paper goods and wedding invitations, so you can imagine my delight when Sister Daffodil asked me to design her an invitation! A few weeks prior, we had picked out a canary yellow and light pink theme together for her wedding. I wanted the invitation to reflect her and BIL Daff’s personalities and how their wedding would likely be - lighthearted, joyful, but most of all, FUN!

One Year and… Five Months Later?

October 22nd, 2009 @ 3:55 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

Why, hello hive! Yes, it’s really me - I know, long time no blog! I guess I sort of missed doing a “one-year” post, but better late than never, right? Much has happened since I last posted, including many wedding/marriage-related things that I plan to write about… so I thought I’d give a preview of what’s to come in the form of a Daffodil update…

Now What?

February 27th, 2009 @ 5:08 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

It’s unjust. You spend hours, days, even months searching and agonizing over finding the perfect dress. Then you finally find it, order it, wait forever for it to come, and go through the expensive alterations process. It’s finally completely perfect… and you get to wear it for a total of less than 24 hours!

I’ve been putting off this decision for a while, but the time has come to…

Something Blue for the Bride

February 26th, 2009 @ 1:11 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

It’s hard to believe, but Sister Daffodil’s wedding is in three months! As her big sister and MOH (and not to mention, ahem, a newlywed who misses the whole wedding planning process), how can I help myself but do everything I can to help make her day perfect! I’ve got some great DIY paper crafts that I made for her wedding that I will share…

Austin and Jean - Lucky in Love!

February 9th, 2009 @ 2:17 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

It’s funny how, after having gone through the entire wedding planning process, you find a new appreciation for every minute detail of every wedding you attend! I had the honor of serving as the bridal attendant for my new cousin-in-law, Jean, this weekend. You may recall her and Austin’s mountaintop engagement I posted about a while back . I kid you not, it was one of…

This post is long overdue! This is the addendum to my original post back in August about our “Wedding Weekend Packet”. We created the primary packet for our friends and family, but gave our vendors smaller, individualized versions. I promised I would share them, so here they are! We created five separate ones…

Notes of Thanks

January 7th, 2009 @ 10:57 am by Mrs. Daffodil

I have to confess… the thank-you cards took longer than expected. We sent them out in waves… to all of our parents’ friends within the first 5 weeks, to our family members and relatives over the next two months, and finally to all of our own friends that we invited slowly over the following months. But I am happy to report that we finished writing…

Yes, THEM… as in, our OFFICIAL wedding photos!  Early last week, I received an eagerly anticipated email from our photographer, Scott Robert, with a link to our official wedding slide show and a simple message of, “I hope you like them!” And guess what? The whole thing was just beautiful.

I know you’re thinking, “What?? What about all those pics in your recaps?”
