Fun Ideas!!

Once couples have all of the serious details down, it's a good time to think of adding other elements to the day. Many couples insert their own special touches to either express who they are or to make the experience more fabulous and fun for everyone.

Believe me, everyday in Las Vegas couples are making it happen in a unique way.  From costumes to cupcakes, the options people use to distinguish themselves and their events are endless. Why not choose a photo booth? Or, purchase small inexpensive cameras so guests may take pictures from their vantage point, later turning the cameras over to you.

Ask the wedding chapel of your choice about the options available, they usually maintain a list of wedding related services which can help you make your dreams happen.

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful week.

Cheers,

Bells, Bubbles and Rice

It's the little things combined that make for one fabulous event. 

Through the ages many wedding traditions surrounding have been passed down and many of these traditions have symbolic meanings.  Most often they are meant to wish the couple well in a certain way. The wedding chapels of Las Vegas often accommodate some of these traditions today and sell the necessary items within their facilities. 

The tradition of ringing wedding bells has been around for many hundreds of years and throughout history bells often rang out from churches where the events took place. Today, we modify the tradition by purchasing small individual bells to ring as the couple walks out of the venue to start their new life together.

Throwing rice also goes back centuries and has been under some scrutiny lately, as it was said that the tossed rice has some negative affect on birds. To alleviate this problem, more couples have started purchasing small bottles of bubbles for guests to blow at them in place of throwing rice.  

I have heard of other traditions around the world, certain countries throw candy and others throw wheat at the couple.  The best thing about bubbles and bells is there is no clean up involved.

Enjoy your weekend!

The Little Church of the West

Individuals can define Fabulous for themselves, I believe.  On Las Vegas Boulevard, there are two different types of Wedding Chapels, those within resorts and those that are freestanding and either way your day can be beautiful.  

The Little Church of the West recently received the Review Journal's "Best of Las Vegas" award for 2014.  Built in 1942, this chapel set on a green acre of land has seen many exciting events.  The 1964 movie "Viva Las Vegas" featured the Little Church of the West.

The wedding professionals offer very creative packages here. You can purchase a package to be married in the chapel or in varying areas throughout the property.  Also, they offer an Elvis wedding, a helicopter wedding or one in front of the Las Vegas sign.

I hope you are enjoying your Independence Day weekend....grateful for your attention.

Just the two of Us!!

On the rare occasion that it is just the two of you for your special event, you might actually find it fabulous.  To make the case for going it alone; you two, I would say that it could be an easier task to endeavor with far less complications, costs and planning needed. Rather than purchasing a lower priced wedding package to save to feed wedding guests at a reception, instead indulge in the highest priced wedding package that features amenities that suit just the two of you.  Have dinner in the best gourmet restaurant you can find and take in a 10:30 p.m. showing of one of cirque du soliel's productions.  Afterwhich, you can dance the night away, order room service and the rest is up to you......sounds fabulous right? Of course it does.  Only in Vegas!

As always, I appreciate you all.


Cheers!

As Fabulous as You Are!!

There are a great many wedding chapels to choose from in Las Vegas; however, always choose the one that you think is as fabulous as you are.

The Aria Resort opened this elegant wedding chapel last year and it offers incredible wedding packages with all the amenities you would expect and some things you wouldn't. Suprises include two wedding coordinators assigned to the event, sky suites and catered events included within certain packages.   Other interesting options include weddings in unique venues such as the Chihuly Gallery or the Fireside Lounge.  When you are out comparing venues, you'll find yourself a winner here.

The Wow! Factor

It is fabulous when guests enter a wedding or banquet facility and say, Wow!

Working in the hotel industry for twenty five years I know that these types of impressive events happen on a daily basis around the world and especially in Las Vegas.

Many couples and their wedding professionals go to great lengths to make a wedding day that is a thing of beauty and a day that will never be forgetten.

In most resorts there are dedicated catering professionals to assist you with all of your reception planning, they normally will handle the floral arrangements, lighting, any dance floor needed and menu selection.  If necessary, they may refer you to an outside professional for your musical needs, a photographer/videographer or a photo booth (just for fun).

The centerpiece in the picture is exquisite.  Remember, centerpieces come in varying sizes and a beautiful piece like this can be replicated on a smaller scale with just few bunches of hydrangea,  a few roses and a few strands of crystals. At whatever level you are on make your day the best that it can be and it'll  be something for you all to talk about for many years to come.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you find something that makes you say, Wow!

Cheers,

Connie
