How did you find working with the team at Galia Lahav, and how did you know your dress was 'the one'?

Great! They recommended the most amazing seamstress to me just North of Los Angeles. Her name is Suzy Abouchian and she is one of those special people who instantly become like family when you meet her. Every fitting I had with her I looked forward to, she would make me Armenian coffee, feed me cookies, and show me her photo albums of all of the dresses she’s worked on over the years. She’s just the absolute best. - I had seen the Maya a few times on social media and knew I had to try it on. The first boutique I went to had Galia Lahav dresses and I immediately asked if they had the Maya. When we went back to the fitting room the associate asked me which dress I wanted to try on first and I said “the Maya”. She warned me it’s a hard dress to follow-up, and if I was sure I wanted to try it on first because I probably wouldn’t like any of the other dresses I had picked out. She was right. Maya was the first dress I tried on and I knew it was the one, it literally fit my body like a glove and it made me feel like an absolute goddess.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

We released 100 butterflies in honor of Grant’s Grandpa who’s no longer with us. The year he passed away a bunch of yellow butterflies swarmed his mom and ever since then, butterflies have always been a symbol of Grandpa Joe. When we released the butterflies at our wedding they didn’t all fly away and some landed on Grant and me. Later during the ceremony, two butterflies were flying around the altar as we were saying “I do”. I like to think that it was Grandpa Joe giving us his blessing.
