I didn't know there were so many different kinds of headpieces. Ones with a comb, another called a "necklace", a tiara, a headband, and the list goes on. After looking around for a bit, I decided I wanted a necklace headpiece, a thin round, very simply embellished headpiece. It wasn't until I saw the piece that I bought that I fell in love with the headband. The downside was that I would have to change my hairstyle because of the size of the headpiece, but I'm sure the experts at Chateau De Luce would take care of that!

As one of the Harsanik.com Bride's Story winners, I was generously gifted a $500 gift card to use for the services of Abraham's Lincoln Limousine. I contacted Abraham's Lincoln Limo several months ago and inquired about their pricing. Almost immediately, I received an e-mail with the pricing guide. Given that Serj and I have such a large wedding party, we knew that we would want a party bus. The difficult part was figuring out how long we needed it for.

As we started looking for photoshoot locations for our wedding day, there were many options but also many restrictions. Serj and I had very different opinions as to where to take our wedding day photos. He wanted a garden-like location but I wanted a structure. We searched several places, keeping in mind that our ceremony is in Pasadena, and our reception, in Glendale.

All I ever knew about my bridesmaid's dresses was that they had to be the color mint. Keeping this in mind, two of my bridesmaids and I happened to be in downtown one day and decided to just peek and see what dresses may be available. We walked into a store, and I saw a particular dress hanging on a mannequin. I fell in love with the look and asked to see it in mint. My friends tried on the dress in mint and although I thought it was pretty, it definitely was hard to picture five girls in that dress in that color.
