1. For the Traditional Couple

The classic “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe” remains one of the most beloved wedding traditions.

Traditional Meaning:

  • Something Old: Represents continuity
  • Something New: Symbolizes optimism
  • Something Borrowed: Represents borrowed happiness
  • Something Blue: Stands for purity and fidelity
  • Sixpence: Wishes for prosperity

Vegas Twist: Make your “Something Blue” spectacular with flashy blue shoes or dazzling accessories, perfect for photos at our Victorian Chapel.

2. For the Bohemian Couple

The Unity Bowl ceremony, an Australian tradition, creates a beautiful keepsake of your special day. Guests hold stones during the ceremony before adding them to a decorative bowl the couple will display in their home.

Vegas Twist: Instead of stones, incorporate small Las Vegas souvenirs for a unique desert charm.

3. For the Superstitious Couple

The Turkish shoe signing tradition adds a fun element of fortune-telling to your celebration. Single wedding party members sign the bride’s shoe, and tradition says the name that fades most by day’s end indicates the next to wed.

Vegas Twist: Create a wedding fund pool where signers contribute $5 toward the “winner’s” future celebration.

4. For the Laid-Back Couples

Bring Hawaiian charm to the desert with traditional leis. At our Elvis ceremonies, even The King can sport a lei!

5. For Lucky Couples
