Colors are an important part of wedding planning as they set the theme and mood of the event. Some couples may have their dream wedding colors in mind while others may choose depending on the location, season, or other details. Either way, it's beneficial to know the season's trends for that year in order to help set a direction and choose your wedding colors.

Every year, Pantone reports the colors of the season. For Spring 2016, the colors are much brighter and happier, yet comforting and calm, transforming us to a more positive and optimistic place. We searched Pinterest for inspirations for each color and created the following color boards to help you choose your favorite.

Rose Quartz

I've always wanted my invitations to be unique and different. I used Harsanik.com's wedding directory and looked up a few vendors. After meeting with a couple, I was given a recommendation to contact Creative Works Designs. I e-mailed Sherry and immediately set an appointment. When I arrived to her adorable shop in Burbank, there were so many samples, and different options and every single one caught my attention.

Chris and Anashae met in 2008 at an event Chris was hosting and started dating ever since. Four years later, Chris proposed to Anashae and they began planning their fairytale wedding. On January 31, 2015, the couple got married at St. Leon Armenian Cathedral followed by a beautiful all white reception at Palladio Banquet Hall. We spoke to the couple and we're excited to share all the details of their stunning wedding. Special thanks to Royal Gor Photo & Video Studio for sharing the photos!

From the morning of the wedding, there are always activities, appointments, celebrations, even unexpected events and time changes that occur. Therefore, in order to feel calm,, organized and avoid forgetting important things, it is important for every bride and groom to plan ahead and eliminate any last minute tasks on the day of their wedding. We've featured a checklist for you to utilize prior to your big day.

For the last couple weeks, I've been researching wedding cake shops. I requested quotes from a couple of different vendors in order to help make a decision.  After all the research, the one that stood out to me was Cake Studio LA. Sonia designed the cake I loved while maintaining my budget.

Cake Studio's designs are unlike any other but that's only half of what makes her cakes so desired. When she sent us her menu we had such a hard time deciding on the four we would try. Everything sounded so delicious. At the end we decided on Chocolate Dipped Strawberry, Mocha-licious, Praline Cloud and Strawberry Short Cake.

We are very excited to feature Ishtar and Lawrence's fairytale wedding. One glance at the beautiful photos of the newlyweds left us wanting more! So we spoke with Memorable Moments Event Planning and they shared all the details of this picture perfect wedding.  

Ishtar Issa & Lawrence Mansour met in 2009 through their involvement in many humanitarian organizations to aid Assyrian Christians in Iraq. Upon their meeting, Ishtar and Lawrence knew they would spend the rest of their lives together, but the two put a hold on marriage in order to finish Law School. Christmas Eve of 2014, Ishtar was in her room when she overheard one of her favorite songs, John Legend’s “All of me” glaring from the backyard. She ran downstairs, opened the curtains to find a winter wonderland with “will you marry me” labeled in big Christmas lights. A long aisle way awaited her with past memories of the 6 years they had shared and at the end of the aisle was her prince charming waiting to seal the rest of their lives together with a special engagement ring!

You may be wondering why we are sharing this proposal video. Well, as it happens, Liam proposed to Amy last November and the couple are getting married this month! We recently came across their amazing theatre proposal video on BuzzFeed and knew we had to share with you. Liam and Amy had been together for 6 years when Liam decided to propose. Liam prepared a short music video to the song "Rude" by Magic! and premiered it in the beginning of a screening in a local theater. He told Amy he had to go to the bathroom before the movie started to stage the proposal. He even invited about 50 people to join them as he proposed to join them in celebrating their engagement! 

Based on Armenian tradition, often the morning of the wedding day becomes it's own spectacle. The way I understand or know it to be is that Serj, his family and ushers will be getting ready and essentially pre-partying at our home. I will be getting ready at my parent's house with my mom, sister-in-law, aunts, family and friends. Then, once Serj and his group are ready, they will make their way to my parent's house where the morning festivities will begin.

Speeches have always been a major part of weddings. Whether it's a prepared speech for the audience or simple congratulations, everyone wants to leave their heartfelt messages for the newlyweds. However, due to time constraint, usually 1 to 2 people are given the opportunity to give a speech. Then, the bride and groom spend a while going to every table to say their thanks as their guests give them their blessings and pass on special wishes. Unfortunately, not all of them are captured nor remembered! We recently came across SpeechBooth, which is a great way to save these speeches and allow everyone at the wedding to pass on their special, fun, and even silly messages.
