Kelly — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0000

Erika and Brendan married in September 2020 at The Grove Las Vegas. Their original wedding date plan was to marry in March under the almond blossom trees while in full bloom. However, we all know how that went.

Following two delays, they decided to marry at the time that felt safe for them and just their closest friends and family. Their wedding shows smaller gatherings are no less stylish or loving. The Grove is a beautiful garden-style venue, perfectly suited for all-in-one ceremony and reception. Dusty rose and navy accents added to the garden elegance they were going for.

While Covid has forced many couples to choose elopement over a large wedding event, Heather and Ethan had actually decided to elope in Las Vegas months before the pandemic hit the U.S.

A number of couples felt that eloping was just a compromise until they could have their big wedding, Heather and Ethan are unique because a Las Vegas elopement was exactly what they wanted from the beginning; and they made it happen.

With a gorgeous lace gown and custom leather bouquet wrap packed in their bags, Heather, Ethan, and a few family members flew to Las Vegas from Oregon and enjoyed their dream wedding day. Intimacy, privacy and a wedding done their way.

Boho Elopement at Red Rock Canyon | Lianna Marie Photography

Kelly — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0000

Grace and Matthew eloped surrounded by the expanse of the sandstone peaks of Red Rock Canyon.

Opting for a small, joyful wedding, this couple included a semicircle of feathery florals with a boho feel to border their vows. As nature lovers, they wanted an intimate experience that included desert sand as their aisle, but there is no mistaking the effect the florals have on their photos.

As one of the couples who realized waiting is not always the best option, after getting engaged in September 2020, they eloped on October 21, their two-year dating anniversary.

The bride found her gown at David’s Bridal, limited to trying on six dresses because of the number of other people also doing so. With another long wait for alterations, Grace took matters into her own hands and cut the train herself.

Adding a bountiful bouquet and floral crown of dusty desert-inspired tones and colors made of antique roses, zinnias, greenery and texture galore to the “altar” of pampas grass was a gorgeous touch. For photos and celebration, a cart of sparkling wine, cake and an elopement sign were the finishing touch for this intimate wedding.

Grace’s advice for other couples? “Covid has taught us that we don’t really need to wait for another year. Life is short and let’s get married!”

Lake Las Vegas often feels a world apart from other Vegas wedding venues. It’s got a European feel alongside a lake with airy venues, including the new A Moment in Time Events Center with indoor and outdoor options.

Today’s couple are already married, but did not have any photos of their ceremony or celebration. Corrine and Victor opted to relive the day by dressing up and pampering themselves, then heading to downtown Las Vegas for some wedding portraits.

According to their photographer, Ivette West, this styled elopement helped give them the wedding day photos they always wanted. This is a beautiful idea for those who were not able to get the photos they wanted or want a fun thing to do when they visit Las Vegas for a vow renewal or wedding anniversary.

Viva Vegas: 10 Fun, Flirty and Fabulous Vegas Bachelorette Party Ideas

Kelly — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 16:10:00 +0000

If you’re opting for a fun weekend in Las Vegas for your bachelorette party, it all starts with the planning. The number of people attending and their adventure levels and budget are some considerations when it comes to choosing the right activities for your group.

Fun Vegas bachelorette activities to consider

Many parties opt for Vegas, especially if they are coming from all over the country or the world, not only because it can be central and somewhat affordable, but because of the wide array of activities.

Some to consider include:

Top Golf: Opt for a bucket of balls, some bubbles or beer and a fun afternoon. Top Golf Las Vegas also has pools, lounges and bars for an ultimate afternoon out.

Pool time: Rent a cabana at a day club or pool party for a little liquid fun and sun. Luxury options include Wet Republic at MGM Grand., Marquee Dayclub at Cosmopolitan and Encore Beach Club.

Stripper 101: Learn all the moves together from a pro pole dancer. I’ve taken this class and it’s a lot of fun!

Spa day: Opt for a day of pampering and luxury beauty treatments at a day of relaxation before the big day. Some of my favorite spas are Sahra Spa, Salon and Hammam at Cosmpolitan, Waldorf Astoria, Qua Baths and Spa at Caesars Palace, the Spa at Aria or the Wynn or Encore spas.

Yoga class: Try some new poses together in front of the dolpins at The Mirage Secret Garden. Perfect for pre-wedding balance and harmony.

Photo tour of the Strip: Let someone else take care of the driving while you and your crew sip bubbles in a luxury SUV and visit some of Las Vegas’s top spots with your private photographer!

Dune buggy rentals: Head out to the dry lake beds or sandy flats in a fast desert ATV.

Wine tasting: Opt for a wine tasting at M Resort’s Hostile Grape or one of the fabulous wine options on the Strip.

Yoga and vino: Why not combine yoga and wine? Artisan Hotel hosts a combined event for you and your besties to sip wine and unwind.

Red Rock Canyon: Pack a picnic and choose a scenic hiking trail at Red Rock Canyon or Springs Preserve for a little desert escape.

Invitations set the tone

Start things off on the right foot with a modern, beautiful party invitation. The theme and design set the tone for your trip. Whether you plan to have some good times poolside, spend some time at the shows and shopping, or just plan to have big sleepover and brunch the next day, choose a stylish invite to let your bridal party and friends know what is planned.

Sending the perfect bachelorette party invitations help guests get excited for the celebration and a fun weekend in Vegas!

Who is invited?

The party invite list will vary according to the bride, but some common guests include:

Bridesmaids and wedding attendants
Friends who may not be in the wedding party
Close relatives
Future sisters-in-law

Intimate Valley of Fire Elopement with Boho Elements | Onyx + Arrow Photography

Kelly — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0000

Ray and Courtney travelled from Pennsylvania to marry in the desert just north of Las Vegas. The Valley of Fire is a state park, so special rules for weddings and permits exist, but they were able to plan a hassle-free day with help from Emily Reno at Elopement Las Vegas.

Courtney says, “We loved the idea of getting married in the desert, getting ‘married in Vegas’ without actually being in Vegas.” The date they chose was auspicious: their five-year anniversary of starting dating.

Despite eloping during Covid (and temporarily losing a ring before the ceremony), their vows and wedding were smooth. “Emily makes it super easy for us to plan, since she and her crew take care of basically everything for you. Amazing. All we had to do was get our outfits and our flights/hotel, then figure out how to get to the venue, and that was it!” says Courtney.

The color palette this couple chose for their outfits accents the desert light and landscape so perfectly. She wore light blush with ivory tulle and beaded detail work with a sexy leg slit, perfect for Vegas. He wore an ivory tuxedo to stay cool, paired with comfortable Vans. Courtney gifted Ray a rose gold pocket watch with their wedding anniversary engraved on it, and the cuff links he wore were heirloom, from his great grandfather.

Their advice for other Vegas couples?

“Life happens, donâ€t let it stress you out, just go with it. Thereâ€s no use in getting stressed or frustrated, especially over things that are out of your control. And also, remember to do things out of love! Even the smallest gestures mean the most when it comes to doing the little things.”

Tiny Intimate Desert Wedding at Red Rock | Fig + Willow Studios

Kelly — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 15:35:00 +0000

Surrounded by the expansive desert views, shrubs and cacti, Madeline and Konstantin eloped in the desert west of Las Vegas at Red Rock Canyon.

This couple chose to fly to Las Vegas from the U.K. to get married and were drawn by sandstone and scenic views at this natural location. They also wanted their wedding to be eco-friendly so a “leave no trace” wedding made sense with a low-impact tiny desert elopement.

Simply Eloped took care of the permits, officiants and florists, and Madeline and Konstantin took care of the witnesses (two close friends). Celebrating with a pop of the bubbly at the end, the got into their dream getaway car with the top down, of course. A perfect choice for desert vows.
