EVE IN EDEN.

Good evening! I hope you had a glorious weekend. If you live in Portland, I want to share a brand new spot in town: Eve in Eden, a bridal shop now open in the back of Eden, one of my favorite boutiques in town. The new shop features non-traditional bridal goods: dresses, jewelry, headpieces, and bags, both vintage and designed by local artists. Also, how pretty are these photographs from the lookbook, shot by Eric Rose? (Eve in Eden in located at 221 NW 11th Ave., Portland, OR)
