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!
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!
Vow renewal or not, this is a special marriage
One of my favorite things about meeting couples who were married here several years back is when I ask if they would consider renewing their vows. We heard about Doyalene and Gary Layton and their beautiful vow renewal ceremony, so naturally I would think that when you have love between two people for that long, it only makes sense to renew your vows and honor it. Well, apparently that’s not the case.
Happy 50th Anniversary!
On November 19th, I had the joy of meeting a couple that have been married for 50 years! Nancy and Patricio Mena were celebrating their 50th anniversary with all their closest family members. Their son booked everything for them and contacted all of their family members, so that they could join them and watch as they renew vows in Las Vegas!
