Las Vegas

rozd3, 19 February, 2013 at 13:54 Posted on Honeymoons & Getting Married Abroad 0 5

I am getting married in Las Vegas I was wondering are there any brides/brides to be on here that have any tips or know of any blogs talking about how they dealt with all planning etc. hopefully in a couple of weeks I can get a date sorted waiting to talk to some friends who will be coming with us and

These are some of the things I have been thinking about Where did you get married? How long did you book it in advance? did you take a wedding dress with you or rent one? Where did you have your meal after the wedding? How many people came with you and you OH?

Any tips or help will be so grateful.

    We are wanting to get married in Las Vegas, we are thinking of June 2013. Unfortunately we haven't made much progress of booking anything, we are still very much as the research stage with it all. So far we have decided we want to get married in a chapel and maybe stay in the Bellagio but that is it! We are definitely going to have a photographer for a chunk of the day as we are not inviting anyone. My initial thoughts about the dress are l am going to buy something here and sent it over there. Someone on here told me about a service where it is possible to send a dress to a dress shop in Las Vegas and they steam it to get all of the creases out. How is your research going so far?

    It will probably at least a year before we get out there. Our friends who are coming with can't come until they move into their new house which won't be built until at least next year.

    I am pretty much sure we will get married at chapel of flowers had 2 people i know get married there and they loved it nice and small and intimate and doesn't cost too much. I was thinking about staying at the bellagio too but the new refurbed room's i don't like them i've seen photo's from people on trip advisor so re-thinking that. Where we eat will probably be just something nice and simple maybe a buffet or a nice steak house. I've been thinking about buying 2 dresses a nice wedding one and then changing into something a little less formal for the night or maybe rent my wedding dress i'll have to see what bargains i can get as i've added it up and roughly for everything we want i'm looking at paying around $5000 but that includes dream car hotel flights food, etc and we'd be staying for 2 weeks. photographer I want one that takes loads of photo's but my other half isn't really a fan of photo's so since i'm paying we will be having alot. that is about as I have got so far.

    Duh l meant to write June 2014 -June 2013 is my best friends wedding month!

    OH favourite chapel is The Little Chapel of the West which l quite like as well. What is wrong with the refurbished rooms at The Bellagio? I haven't seen them on Tripdadvisor. Funnily enough we were thinking steaks, l also want somewhere that does great cocktails. Having 2 dresses is a good idea as it can get very hot over there and you can enjoy having 2 different dresses. At least it is dry heat so humidity is less of an issue! We are not really fans of photographs (we are both very unphotogenic which doesn't help!) but l feel like we should do as we are getting married just the 2 of us. We are thinking of going somewhere else for out honeymoon but really not sure as yet.

    We're really indecisive and still can't decide between the UK, Las Vegas, Hawaii or Bora Bora! I think the problem is I like everything and each has advantages and disadvantages, I just wanted to add a suggestion for the meal afterwards we went to Vegas last year and there's a really nice restaurant (gorgeous steak!) at the Stratosphere, the restaurant's called the top of the world and it revolves slowly looking out over the strip, there are also viewing platforms where you can take pictures with vegas behind you, good look we the planning! x
