Beautiful Rustic Styled Wedding

We are so excited to share this styled shoot with you today.  For one, we contributed quite a bit and had so much fun doing so.  Second of all, we are NOT photographers and we have a little bit of a difficult time taking really good pictures of our work.  It's beautiful in real life, trust us!  Enter Meghan Christine Photography.  She had this beautiful idea in her head and rounded up some of the best vendors to bring it to fruition.  We feel so honored to have been a part of it!

So without further adieu, here is the rustic-fall inspired shoot!

This is our hand-drawn seating chart with each leaf being a person's name.  It was so fun to be a little bit different and creative with it!

If you don't know about The Vintage Table Co. you must go check them out.  Kathy, the owner, is not only sweet and fun, but uber creative and has a knack for everything vintage and wonderful.  She is also an expert thrift shopper!

We went with the rustic colors for invitations and were happy with how they turned out.  Simple but chic and matching the rest of the shoot. 

 We created the name cards as an offshoot of the invitations to keep the theme throughout.  We think it definitely paired well with the plates and other accessories!

The happy couple!  I think one of our favorite parts is creating unique signs to display or be held.  This 'Just Married' is no exception!  Although the phrase itself is not original, we loved the font and heart underneath the letters.  So pretty!

And last but not least, Mr. and Mrs.  Isn't it fun when it all comes together?  It was great planning and beautiful vendors coming together to create something wonderful.  Just imagine, this could be your wedding!  And yes, we do realize that we are posting a fall themed wedding in February.  We just wanted to inspire you in enough time to plan!

See more pictures and original feature here and part two here.  Here are the vendors.  Go give them a call!

A New Baby is Sailing In!

There are not many things better in this world than a new baby.  And we certainly cannot think of anything better than our babies having babies.  Which is why this baby shower was so special to us.  We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Rachelle's daughter's baby boy, scheduled to arrive this March!  Of course, as almost every occasion in our lives, this called for a party!

This is our darling Laura, looking as beautiful as ever!

This was such a sweet exercise for everyone attending, and each friend took care to wish little Bryce Jaime all the best things for his new little life.

The dessert station was created by Candace Barshaw at Magpie Events, one of our very favorite vendors.  We knew that once they were on board to help us celebrate, we would have the finishing touch that we wanted.

 

Now all there is left to do is wait for the baby! 

Have a great day

Beautiful Lemon Ranch Wedding

Do you remember our post featuring Rebecca and Greg, our bride and groom whose engagement shoot photos were picked up by Green Wedding Shoes?  (You can check out our post by clicking here and the gws post here.)

Well, they have since tied the knot, and they (we!) have been featured again!!!  Check here to see the new Green Wedding Shoes post.  In the meantime, we have some more great photos to show you!  Rebecca has been so creative throughout the whole planning and execution of her wedding day, we were honored and thrilled to collaborate with her.

Meet Me in St. Louis... or Simi Valley

We are honored to once again be featured on the fabulous wedding blog Rustic Wedding Chic!  (Check out the most recent post here and our previous post here.)  It was a delightful step back in time, courtesy of the shoot location at the Old Santa Susana Railroad Station in Simi Valley.

The railroad theme was the perfect opportunity to use the popular train ticket style for the invitation!

Our favorite detail of the shoot are the tags for these vintage train cases that we absolutely fell in love with.

And one of the sweet benefits of being involved with this shoot was the delicious reward we got at the end of the day -- the delectable Sweet Little Cakes by Donna...  Absolutely always incredibly scrumptious!

Marissa Engagement

Tammi's niece is getting married in February!  We are so excited for her and her fiancé.  Every day we learn a little bit more about our business, and we've even added a couple more suppliers to our already wonderful group of vendors, so we've been looking forward to putting together something special for Marissa for a few months now.

Of course an engagement party is always a fun way to celebrate the couple's happy announcement, so several of her aunts got together and threw one!  It's also a good time for families that may not know each other well or maybe even have never met to have introductions made in a casual party atmosphere.  We started with these cute invitations -- simple but in a nontraditional size and sent in a business style envelope with a unique label.

And what better way to decorate than with paper?!  We took Marissa's wedding color choices of silver, gold, and white and put a casual twist on it with the color scheme of gray, yellow, and white.

Congratulations to an adorable couple!

We Love a New Year!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

New beginnings.  Fresh start.  Renewed energy.  Clean slate.  All the reasons we love a new year.  Although it seems the word "resolution" has gotten a bad rap lately, we still like the idea of focusing on setting goals and then working hard to reach them.   

So we are very excited here at The Pomegranate Basket with the opportunity a new year brings to meet new clients and reconnect with the old, collaborate with fellow creatives, and watch our little business grow as we pursue what we love -- creating beautiful paper designs and invitations for that special occasion.

As you pursue your goals, "resolutions" or not, we wish you success and a happy and healthy new year.  And make sure you call us for those special occasions, big or small, that deserve the special touch that beautiful paper details brings.  We're here for you!  

Cheers!

Marissa & Harold

Tammi's sweet niece just recently got married to the man of her dreams, and we were privileged to provide the paper designs for the special day!  Until we get to see all the photos from the talented Photography by Charise, here are a couple photographs of some of our creations.  We are so happy with how they turned out, such softly understated elegance to match the bride!
