I know I’m a little tardy to the party, but I’m absolutely swooning over the beautiful photos from the wedding of Hello! Lucky co-founder Eunice Moyle (Eunice & Daniel’s wedding is the cover story in the latest Spring 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings).  Just go take a peek at the behind-the-scenes here and over at The MS Bride’s Guide blog.  Tons of crafty inspiration and DIY details (not just for weddings) featuring the how-to’s and gaspfab free templates! Enjoy!
