Some believe that it is fate, others believe you were at the right place at the right time and some don't care how it happened just that it did. True love is rare and only few find it, and those few are considered *lucky*.
Speaking of luck....what's the first thing that comes to mind??? Vegas perhaps?
Inspired by a mini vacation my husband and I took last week to the "City of..." wait lets change that, "The City of Luck." there that's better, I started thinking about the destination bride. The bride who wants to have a wedding outside of Arizona but doesn't want her guests to travel far to attend.
Unfortunately, Vegas has a bad rap for the 10 min drive-thru weddings, little chapels off the strip where a officiant dressed like Elvis can marry you, and not to mention...tear tear....it hurts to even think about it, eloping (No planning?? What?!). Sure, it's for some, but not for most.
With the help of the very talented Chelsea Nicole of Chelsea Nicole Photography, a Las Vegas Wedding Photographer, I wanted to showcase some more intimate locations to have a Vegas wedding while keeping it sophisticated.
Toasts.....
Black Jack....
Night Life....
and of course Slot Machines. :)
The Bellagio ~ "Bella" means beautiful in Italian and that is truly what the Bellagio is all about. Two beautiful chapels are just the start of the options for couples. The South Chapel holds 130 guests, the East Chapel holds 30 guests. Settled outside over looking the hotel's famous fountains Terrazza di Sogno that can hold 34 guests.

The Springs Preserve ~ Located only a few minutes off of the strip this both indoor and outdoor venue has only one caterer, Wolfgang Puck. You can be assured your food will be nothing short of perfection. :) The property can hold up to 200 guests in a wide array of locations.
The Venetian & The Palazzo~ This takes the cake on romance. If you have ever even just walked through The Venetian you know detail is their strong suit. From a gondola ride, to a waterfall and a chapel adorned with a painted ceiling these two hotels don't lack in the variety of areas you can plan your wedding day.

The Wynn ~ Stunning. For the bride who wants a high-end Vegas style wedding The Wynn is just that. The Wynn offers three settings for weddings: the Lilac & Lavender Chapels located inside the hotel and the Primrose Court located outside. It doesn't even look like Vegas!

I had to include this last picture because only in Vegas do you have the option of a Pirate marrying you.
