Vintage Beauty!

 Please indulge us as we plaster photos of this vintage beauty on our page today.  

Yeah.  We love it that much.  

 

Our bride, Rebecca, came to us with a vision, and a very creative history, and what fun we had taking her ideas and making them a reality!   

The reply card is a post card, which gave us more room for all the information needed and even a space for a note to the bride and groom.  Menu choices and best wishes came pouring in to the adorable couple!

 

 And who doesn't love the twine.  Yes.  It is lemon yellow.  And yes, they are getting married at a lemon ranch.  With hot air balloon rides.   Can it get any more perfect?  

 By the time Rebecca came to us, she and her fiancé Greg had already had their engagement shoot featured on the über popular blog Green Wedding Shoes.  This is one talented girl.  And, by the way, Greg is no slouch, either.  He had some pretty creative input too, and our collaboration is the awesomeness you've witnessed above.

The following photos from their engagement photo session were taken by the talented Kurt Boomer.

You can check out the rest of their engagement shoot photos here.

Here are a few more photos just in case you didn't get enough.  Yeah, thought you hadn't.  Just don't drool on the paper...

Keep Portland Weird

Yep, there it was, right across the street from VooDoo Doughnuts. And they're proud of it. I will concede it's true on a certain level, but let's face it. We live on the outskirts of LA. We know weird. But along with weird, many of the other things I noticed in Portland were how it's brimming with art, of every kind. Everywhere. On walls of buildings, in store fronts, on people. And Portland's active. More people were out and about in the rain than I see most sunny days in my city. They say in Portland if you don't go out in the rain you'll never go out. Which I also can testify to, since we only had one day out of six with no rain (almost, until around 9 pm when it just couldn't stand it anymore). But you know what that rain brings, don't you? Flowers. Beautiful, abundant flowers. Waterfalls. The greenest forests you'll ever see. Gardens filled with robust vegetables. Trees heavy-laden with branches of fresh-as-you-can-get-it fruit. And let's not forget the beautiful old buildings of downtown, washed fresh and clean in the morning rain. And the food? Portland is passionate about their food, whether it be organic fare or the cholesterol-packing punch of the Pine State Biscuits "The Reggie" (fried chicken, bacon and cheese on a biscuit topped with sausage gravy!). Portland may be weird, but if that's part of the package, I'll take it. Inspiration there is at it's finest, and I love being inspired. What does all this have to do with The Pomegranate Basket or specialty invitations? Nothing... Or maybe everything. The same enthusiasm with which Oregonians (?!) pursue their passions is ours when we set out to create that perfect invitation, be it your storybook wedding, a darling daughter's Sweet 16, your beloved spouse's 50th, 60th -- you name it! Life is full of good things. We like to think we have a part in bringing those good things to light through the occasions we help to mark.
