I don’t even think I can fathom a more original, beautiful, more delicious wedding than that of Hello!Lucky’s Eunice and her husband, Daniel.  Going through their wedding’s slideshow on Martha Stewart (yes, their wedding is not only featured in MSW but is on the cover!), it was if my brain was going to explode from the overload of gorgeous ideas.  With every click to the next image, there was yet ANOTHER fabulous and well-designed wedding idea.  This was truly a designer’s wedding with every detail well thought out.  I love the fruity color palette, her ruffled dress, the backdrop of the ceremony… it’s all perfect to me.  I am totally in love with this wedding! (can you tell?)

More info on the wedding at the Hello!Lucky blog.  Eunice also blogged about the wedding on The Bride’s Guide here and here.  DIY Project how-to’s from the wedding were generously shared via here.

They would look marvelous while I’m gardening…

Available in her Etsy shop.

Those flowers are making me very jealous of those who are already seeing their bulbs sprout in their garden!

For more photos of their new space, check out their Flickr.
