\"LasCurious what a Las Vegas elopement<\/a> might be like? <\/span>Why not swap the wind and the rain of an average UK wedding, for the elopement of a lifetime in Las Vegas! <\/span>If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019re probably already debating whether you should get married abroad, or maybe you\u2019re already considering Las Vegas for your elopement, and why wouldn’t you?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Elopement Ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n

Las Vegas is the “Wedding Capital of the World” for good reason. In Las Vegas, weddings are happening every day, over 300 a day to be exact. <\/span>Therefore, we know a thing or two about throwing the party of a lifetime!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Las Vegas is the Best Elopement Destination<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here is the Chapel of Flowers<\/a>\u2019 top 6 reasons why you should plan an elopement in Las Vegas (specifically for those living in the United Kingdom).<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Throw the Rule book of Traditions Out the Window<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tv
\nAfter all the rules that have been imposed on us over the last 18 months, you don\u2019t deserve to be following even more on your wedding day! You should be carefree, and able to let loose in a place that can cater to your every whim. And no, we\u2019re not talking about pints and pubs in the Northern Quarter of Manchester or a countryside retreat in the Cotswold\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re suggesting you jet off somewhere you can marry in just the way you want, and celebrate however you please. And that is the beauty of a Las Vegas elopement! It\u2019s just you, your partner, and The Strip. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here you can get married as you\u2019ve seen in countless movies, and TV shows, free from the constraints a traditional UK wedding entails.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll Save Money<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>cost of an average UK wedding<\/span><\/a> stands at an incredible \u00a330,000 ($39,012.00), and that\u2019s the average, most spend much more! Now, if your traditional English wedding is something you\u2019ve dreamed about ever since you were little, then that money could not be better spent. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, if you\u2019re on the fence, then why not look at what else a wedding budget like that could offer you! Especially when you consider the average UK honeymoon costs \u00a34,500 ($5,852.25), and so if your honeymoon is combined with your wedding, you could be married in Las Vegas for less than \u00a35,000 ($6,502.00)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Las Vegas offers UK couples a much cheaper way to tie the knot, and at the Chapel of the Flowers<\/a>, in particular, we offer our eloping couples an amazingly <\/span>affordable elopement package<\/span><\/a>. A chic alternative to the classic drive-thru wedding chapel, and a whole lot more classy than the courthouse! <\/span><\/p>\n

And with all that money you\u2019ll have saved, you can really celebrate Las Vegas-style afterward, with a honeymoon filled with luxury entertainment. Which can be enjoyed even further when you factor in the favorable Pound to the Dollar exchange rate<\/span><\/p>\n

3. You Don\u2019t Have to Leave Your Loved Ones Behind<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the pandemic, who did you miss the most? Your friends! And if the thought of leaving them again for an elopement in Las Vegas is too stressful a notion, bring them along!<\/p>\n

Just because you\u2019re eloping, it doesn\u2019t mean your friends can\u2019t come. In fact, where better to have your hen party, and stag party, than in Vegas baby? And on the day of your nuptials, you can choose to have your loved ones present, or maybe you\u2019d rather just have an intimate and private exchange of vows, it\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

Either way, the most important people in your life will be there, ready and waiting to pop the champagne afterward!<\/p>\n

If there are still loved ones left behind in the UK that can\u2019t join you on your Las Vegas elopement, they can still experience the joy of the ceremony via live <\/span>video feed<\/span><\/a> and recording.<\/span><\/p>\n

As standard in our elopement package, we offer couples the opportunity to stream their wedding to anywhere in the world, and also take a recording home to cherish, and share with friends and family.<\/p>\n

4. A Wedding License in Las Vegas is Quick, and Legal Globally!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Emotions<\/p>\n

Las Vegas is one of the top elopement wedding locations in the US, and its marriage licenses are easy to obtain, super affordable, and can be issued on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are Las Vegas weddings legal in the UK? We are glad you asked! They certainly are, and to marry in Vegas all you need is the aforementioned license, a valid passport, and a birth certificate. If you have been married before, changed your name, or are a widower, you will need to bring proof of that too.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Escape the Rain, and Embrace the Desert<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
