Miss Pomegranate, Sacramento Age and Occupation: 27, Technical Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Software Engineer Engagement Date: August 23, 2007 Wedding Date: October, 2008 Blogging Since: June 5, 2008 Venue: R.H. Phillips Winery About Me: Hi, I'm Miss Pomegranate and I'm a shopaholic. I have a weak spot for the chic cheap - especially anything I can re-create on the DIY. Shoes are my vice, music is my passion in life and technology is the medium by which I live and work. When I'm not scoping out a sale, I'm spending my quality time training for a marathon, playing Wii with my fiance and snuggling with my Silver Labrador and Teacup Panther - and oh yeah, planning my wedding!

July 10th, 2008 @ 6:50 pm by Miss Pomegranate

Note from Miss Pomegranate: Initially, I thought that there may be a few choice relatives that wouldn’t be able to make it to our wedding day. Add that to the billions of relatives that we won’t be able to add to our already lengthly list and there were quite a few excluded guests. Therefore, I went to work researching some options that would allow them to be there virtually if they couldn’t be there physically.

While we have decided not to use such a service, I still wanted to share my research with the Hive in case there were some brides out there heartbroken over relatives not being able to make it to their big day.

Are your family and friends dispersed throughout the United States - or rather the entire world? Do you have close family with other commitments that will be unable to travel to see you speak your vows? Well, my next question is - do they have an internet connection?

In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned fiancé, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).
About candycorn

One of our favorite vendors we’ve found has to be our videographer, Wellspun Weddings. John Gangwer, who started the business after being dissatisfied with the videography options available for his own wedding, creates absolutely beautiful vintage videos with full-day (8 hour) coverage starting at $1,249. They offer Super 8-quality cinematic charm at an affordable price, which makes this recent college grad very happy! WSW also serves areas that aren’t so local (for those of you who don’t inhabit this lovely Keystone State).

I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.

Making It Extra Special

January 16th, 2008 @ 5:04 pm by Mrs. Butterscotch

Christina Aguilera has released a video with her song Save Me From Myself. It has snippets of her getting ready and of her actual wedding to Jordan Bratman in 2005. I really like this because it’s timeless and it must have extra special meaning to them as a couple with her singing!

I’ve been a bad Mrs. and haven’t really done much with our video yet, but this has inspired me!

What fabulous things are you planning on doing to your video to make it timeless and unique for years to come?

Capturing The Essence

January 2nd, 2008 @ 2:32 pm by Mrs. Flamingo

After some relaxing holidays and putting my wedding planning on the side for awhile, it’s time to get back to the planning. With just about 6 months left, there are tonnes of things to do.

An important element for my wedding is video. Like my photographer, I’m having issues when it comes to choosing the right company. Being a graphic designer, there are many things that I can do myself like editing and the final montage of the video in the comfort of my own home with the right software. Of course, to be honest, I also don’t want to pay a company for something I could assemble myself. I want someone who can do something that I can’t do. I want to have something different… something along the lines of a movie trailer. Short, sweet, yet packed with emotion.

Here is an example of a super 8 video - thanks to youtube.com

Where’s Wes?

December 19th, 2007 @ 4:21 pm by Mrs. Onion

Let’s play a little game. It’s like Where’s Waldo, except it’s called Where’s Wes (Jones)?


This is the first time I’d met Wes in person. He looks a lot like my brother, which shocked me at first. He greeted me, then he said, “OK, this is the last time we’ll talk today — now ignore me!” It was so funny.

My Wedding Video Clip Part I

November 29th, 2007 @ 2:51 pm by Mrs. Apple

Our fantabulous wedding videographer Chris Watson @ Dalls Wedding Films worked his magic. He was there for us from 5 am until 11 pm shooting - a long 18 hour day! He did a really great job capturing everything considering we had so many wardrobe changes and multiple venues. When we received both the hard copies and a link to preview the clip, we thought the video quality and editing were both quite good. But above all, we thought he was extremely professional. Also, his creative use of the video images blended well with our musical selections.

I’ve got 4 clips total so I will be posting one every day instead of bombarding you all in one post. As you can tell, I don’t like kissing (pda) in public - even on my wedding day. I’m one shy Apple. :)



Enjoy our morning tea ceremony.
