Well—I officially have my MRS degree!

It. Was. Amazing. So amazing. I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am to be a part of the Hive. See, I received a phone call about four hours prior to our ceremony. It was pouring down rain and Liz, the R.H. Phillips Tasting Room Manager, wanted me to make the call as to where we would be…

I wish I could say this last week leading up until the wedding was easy, but it hasn’t been. No matter how much you plan, prepare, schedule, or organize, you just can’t control or predict the future. With a little rain on the horizon, a scramble to get the final payments together after a missing paycheck debacle, and the pure chaos (and pure love) of…

Mr. Pomegranate is a software developer and also specializes in web development, so I knew that the traditional Wedding Tracker, WedORama, or the plethora of other options offered on the web wouldn’t live up to his terms. This was a project that Mr. Pom would most definitely be taking an interest in. We sat down and decided on the minimal features that we’d want to…

We’ve reached the day where we can take a sneak peek at the 10-day forecast at Weather.com! I can see what it will be like for the rehearsal, but not the actual day of. However, AccuWeather does give a 15-day forecast—and they are not in 100% agreement.

Weather.com says 20% chance of precipitation the day before the wedding.


Accuweather.com says mostly cloudy the day before the wedding, and mostly…

Uhm, I’ve lost my internal tracking device system that allows me to locate any and all electronic items throughout my house. This seems to have begun as soon as the boxes and boxes of lovely wedding gifts started arriving and cluttering up my house -…

When I first became engaged, I discovered that I had some pretty amazing people in my life. Not that I wasn’t aware of this beforehand, but in these crazy moments of wedding planning, it tends to become amplified. One of my most favorite and amazing engagement presents was the offer by one of my mom’s friends (who I’ve called Auntie Sue for most of my…

So, I’ve admitted that I’m a bit of a shopping fanatic, yes? This wedding has amplified my not-so wallet-friendly habits quite a bit. I’m starting to have a hard time not buying everything (even non-wedding related purchases) in the colors black, white and moss green. So when I went dress shopping for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and other wedding-related events, you can probably guess that I…

Whew! With only a few weeks to go, things have been uber-busy in the Pomegranate residence! I’ve been working on finishing up a few big projects - namely our CD favors - and I’m rather excited to show them to you. Our Jewelboxing kit definitely made a complicated project much less difficult to complete - but I must warn you, before you take on creating…

Just like Mrs. Penguin’s Evite Bachelorette invite, my girls chose to send a raunchy virtual invitation via MySpace. Last week I received an event notification in my inbox with the title of, “Miss Pom’s Bachelorette Party!” I excitedly logged in to my account to see if I could deduce any important details from the invitation, as MOH had been keeping the Bach Party planning a…

I am one of those extremely blessed brides that have friends and family members who decided to throw me three bridal showers! In fact, unbeknownst to me, there was a fourth shower secretly planned by my co-workers that I attended last week. This last shower left me a tad unprepared - but I came armed with hostess gifts for the other three showers. With three…

Part I

In the second installment of bridesmaid bandit-dom, I’ll share with you the first of a few projects that was ripped out of my hot little hands and turned into another DISE project. Not that I’m complaining—it’s just that I felt so entirely guilty to bestow what I felt was one of my “bridal duties” onto another person. Which is silly, because ultimately, I could have…

Mamita Pom is often seen wearing fabulous jewelry designed and created by her good friend Lisa. She has earrings galore from Christmas and birthdays past—and they have always been meticulously made, oh-so-Bohemian, one-of-a-kind creations. So of course, when Lisa offered to help me make my wedding day jewelry, I eagerly nodded “yes!”

Before discussing my design ideas with Lisa, I wandered around the blogosphere searching aimlessly…

I was so inspired by the choices I had compiled in my last post on wedding bands, I decided to look into getting one of them made to see if it was within our budget. The ring I was interested in was almost perfect - but it was cast in sterling silver and a smidge too wide for my finger. Basically, I wanted a narrower, smoother,…

When budgeting for the wedding, Mr. Pom and I didn’t discuss what I intended to spend on gifts for my bridesmaids. We had decided that we would purchase gifts for each side of the bridal party respectively, and we would choose our own budgets. With six bridesmaids on my side and four groomsmen on his side, I had to be more frugal with my funds…

For those of you just tuning in…

I returned to Carole’s studio for another fitting just last week. Now that the upper regions of the gown have been fitted, we’ve begun the design of the lower portion of the dress. I’ll start by telling you that the inspiration dress was designed as a…
