Congratulations to Elise and Paul, married April 24, 2010! Their special day was full of love, laughs, and beautiful details. It was obvious that Elise, a DIY genius, put careful thought into each and every part of the day. Everything was designed by the bride herself, from the bridesmaid invites and wedding invitations to the programs, placecards and flowers.
