What would be your fairy tale wedding destination? Ever thought about having your wedding outside a chapel or church? For Rachael and Philip, they had a destination for their wedding that not most would even attempt. They decided to trade the cold weather of Ireland for Nevada’s sun and warmth. And what better location than the Valley of Fire?!

One Sweet Love

One Sweet Love

Christopher and Stephanie are so in love and we adored their ceremony. Christopher arrives at the chapel early before Stephanie gets there. He was very fun and easy going. We got the limo call that the bride was only a few short minutes away from arriving. Stephanie pulled up and was absolutely gorgeous stepping out of the limo! I knew this was going to be a fun couple to coordinate for.

Military Soldier and His Beautiful Bride

We love military weddings. You know when you see a couple look at each other and their love just radiates from them and makes your heart smile? Yeah, that describes Dennis and Callan! The way they look at each other just screams true love!! I was so honored to be their wedding coordinator. They are so adorable. Callan’s smile is so contagious and Denni is just so relaxed and was so excited to see his bride.

Behind-the-scenes of a Vegas Wedding

 

I have been working at the chapel for more than seven months now and have gotten the privilege to edit so many fantastic weddings. The offsite weddings that I get to edit are especially meaningful to me since the photographers usually choose to edit them themselves. I recently had the chance to edit Mr. and Mrs. Ngo’s offsite photo session. They got married here in our Magnolia Chapel on March 6, 2012. I cannot say enough about how great the photos turned out for this couple!

Making your Vegas Wedding a Destination Wedding dream come true

 

Yes, I admit it, I am a TLC and WE network junkie. I will sit and watch “Say Yes to the Dress” or “Four Weddings” episodes back-to-back, all day long, even if I’ve seen them before (which, I usually have). My husband can’t understand it at all because the last thing he wants to do when he gets home is watch television shows about what he does all day at work. I’ve explained to him that being a Wedding Planner is more than just a “punch-in, punch-out” kind of job. It is an ever-changing, always evolving, opportunity to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for people that they will remember for the rest of their lives. I think that he, like many people, was under the assumption that getting married in Las Vegas was what you see in movies like “What Happens in Vegas” and “The Hangover.”

Feelin’ Lucky in Vegas

Michaelyn and Joseph Bruer are feeling lucky in more ways than one! When Michaelyn stepped out of the limo, she was beaming. She just glowed with beauty. I loved her dress and her hair piece; she really was gorgeous from head to toe. Joseph looked very handsome. They seemed like the perfect match for each other!

Once Upon A Time

As a Wedding Coordinator here at Chapel of the Flowers, I have the opportunity to see couples’ dreams come true every day. Everyone is so different, and they have so many different aspects to what will make “their day” the most perfect day. It is so wonderful to be a small part of so many people’s lives! To make the best job in the whole world that much better, I was lucky enough to participate in a very special wedding of someone who is very important to me – my Mom!
