Last month we were so exited to attend the grand opening party of legendary luxury bridal gown designer Ines Di Santo brought to us by Jobyna's Bridal at the beautiful Americana at Brand. The event featured beautiful florals by the team at Tic-Tock Couture, rentals and event design by White Night Designs, catering by Divine Food & Catering of Taglyan Cultural Complex, photography by Duke Photography and music by DJ Heartbeat. The new boutique is chic and modern just like the gowns it stores. Contact Jobyna's for an appointment to find your dream dress!

Often times brides are so focused on their wedding that they forget how important it is to add personal touches to their bridal shower. Traditionally, a bridal shower takes place 4-6 weeks before your wedding day and all of your close female family & friends are invited to the event to bless your new life together as husband and wife. Check out images of a Fancy That! Events Backyard Bridal Shower with homemade appetizers, personalized games and garden inspired decor.  Enjoy!

Sunday September 27th was the big day for a famous woman of Armenian descent. I'm sure you've all heard her name. In case you haven't already read the story and need help figuring out who we're talking about, here are a few clues:

1. She has her own TV show
2. She married a famous basketball player
3. She planned her wedding in less than a month

As you probably know or guessed, it's Khloe Kardashian! Khloe, 25, and Lamar Odom from the LA Lakers, 29, were married in an outdoor ceremony at a Beverly Hills home. Khloe wore a Vera Wang gown, the cake was from Hansen's Cakes, and the invitations were from Lehr & Black, who also made invitations for stars like Jessica Simpsons and Gwen Stefani. (Sources include Hollyscoop & People)

While it was not a traditional Armenian wedding, the guest list included 250 people, which is fairly close to the average Armenian wedding size according to a recent Harsanik.com survey.

Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of her wedding to share, but you'll be able to catch the wedding on the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Instead, here's a picture of the cute couple from the White Night Red Carpet by photographer Kris Kan.

Today Gor from Royal Gor Video shot the footage for our upcoming bridal show commercial on location at Langham Hotel in Pasadena. R-Mine Bridal Couture provided the lovely gown worn by Erica who graciously volunteered to be the bride in our commercial.
