HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO!

Have you ever thought of how the tradition of wedding cake came to be?

Wedding Cakes
Wedding cakes are a significant part of a Wedding ceremony. Today, wedding cakes are an elaborate multi-tiered artistic extravaganza and at the same time they are a gourmet’s delight. No wonder, couples like to cherish this sweet and special part of their wedding every year by cutting a cake on their anniversary.

History of Wedding Cake
Wedding cakes have been a part of marriage ceremonies since medieval times. In Rome, the first wedding cakes were actually loaves of wheat bread. During the ceremony, the bread was broken over the bride's head as a blessing for long life and many children. Guests often ate the crumbs as a sign of good luck.

Modern Wedding Cakes

Wedding Cakes have undergone a major transformation in present times. Today, they are a multi-tiered elaborate affair. They are prepared in intricate and artistic designs and are the center of all eyes in a wedding ceremony.

BLESSED

My name is Holly Dunn and I am truly blessed to be a part of Chapel of the Flowers. I started with the chapel on June 15th, 2009, as a wedding coordinator.

I am a Las Vegas native but have also lived in Minnesota (Did the Minnesota winters for 13 years but will take the heat of our summers any day) I moved back home last June and it is true home is where your heart is. I love this town, and all the people that make Las Vegas memorable for so many of our couples that choose our town as the destination for their wedding. I am truly blessed to be home and to say I am a wedding coordinator for Chapel of the Flowers. I truly have some of the most professional, knowledgeable, approachable, talented and friendly group of Wedding Planners, Photographers, Videographers, Ministers, florists, etc. to work with.

You can find me in the Magnolia chapel it is a beautiful chapel with tasteful décor that seats 20 guests. The Magnolia chapel is open Monday and Wednesdays: 1:30pm – 6:30 pm; Closed Tuesday & Thursday; Friday: 2:00pm - 7:30pm; Saturday: 9:00 am - 9:00 pm

I am very proud of the roll I play in all of our couple’s special day. I truly enjoy every aspect of making your day as memorable as possible. I enjoy that we are given the ability and tools to make each couple feel relaxed and confident that you are in good hands and that your day is going to be PERFECT...our couples are my main priority. I LOVE my job and I think (or at least hope) that it shows in the level of service and attention to detail we provide here at Chapel of the Flowers. I know at the end of the day that I think about each and every couple I coordinate for and wonder all the time how your lives are and what you’re doing. I feel personally truly blessed that you have chosen our Chapel and that I was a part of your happiness.

45 Years and Counting

We love doing weddings here at Chapel of the flowers but our favorites are the Renewal of Vows. On June 27th, 2009 I had the pleasure of coordinating a "Chapel legend." Arthur & Sharon Kajiwara were married @ Chapel of the flowers in 1965. That is 45 year of successful marriage!!!


As a surprise for their 45th anniversary Arthur along with one of his daughters, planned a secret vacation for Sharon. Arthur and Sharon arrived in Vegas Friday at the Golden Nugget where they stayed. The following day Sharon was informed of the Vow Renewal. Sharon said that the whole trip was just one shock after another: being picked up in a white limo for the wedding, pulling up to the chapel whey were married in 45 years ago, seeing her children and grandchildren waiting on the porch for them to arrive. When they came to me to prepare for the ceremony, we asked for stories of their first wedding. Sharon said that they stayed in a "roach motel" down the street from the chapel and the chapel was so much smaller than it is today.

Arthur and Sharon Kajiwara were able to celebrate for the second time at Chapel of the flowers their love for each other only this time they were surrounded by their family!

From the Chapel of the Flowers, we wish Arthur & Sharon and their Children & Grandchildren many more loving years together!

New and improved Chapel of the Flowers!

Hello everyone! We have decided to start our blog back up again and hopefully there will be a new post everyday.

I will start off by introducing my self. My name is Katelyn DeGraw and I have been with Chapel of the Flowers since June 1, 2008 and I am a Las Vegas native! I am new to the chapel scene but I have been planning and coordinating weddings for a year now. I also was just married this last March and because of this I feel like I have that much more to offer our couples. I know that on my wedding day I wanted to feel like the world revolved around me and I can see that most of our couples feel the same way! I am a Coordinator here and I LOVE my job. When you come to Chapel of the Flowers our goal is for you to have the best experience possible. I have had a couple tell me recently that we made there wedding day the easiest part of their trip to Las Vegas. We can make this happen because of our amazing staff and I am happy to be apart of this team!

Here at Chapel of the flowers, we have been serving couples for almost 60 years now. Even though the chapel itself is aging in years, it looks brand new! The owners and staff keep the grounds clean and "updated" so that your pictures don't look like you were married at the same chapel your mother did 30 years ago. We have people walk in all the time and tell us that they got married 10, 15, 20 years ago and hardly recognize the place. Improvements are happening here constantly so that we can provide better service to our couples and their guests. Please jump on our website @ http://www.littlechapel.com/ and check out our 3 chapels, garden and gazebo. Also take a look at our packages. You may be surprised at how inexpensive luxury and pure bliss can be!

Congratulations to all those who are newly engaged or have been engaged for years. We at Chapel of the Flowers can't wait to plan your wedding with you!

Photo Shoot Destinations-Chapel of the Flowers

With many of our couples, they desire something exciting, fresh and new for their wedding photographs. Our photography staff here at the chapel delivers!

The days of having the "typical" wedding photographs are long past. We can arrange for your photographs to be taken at Valley of Fire, The Grand Canyon or at numerous places along the fabulous Las Vegas Strip.

The location a couple chooses will offer a vast array of photo options for the couple. Shown here is a photo taken at The Grand Canyon, it provides an intimate, romantic setting for the couple where they can also enjoy a picnic luncheon.

It is always exciting helping our couples choose a destination for their wedding photographs. We give them options based on what they desire and what their personalities say about them as well as match them perfectly with one of our photographers.

If you are getting married and want photographs that are completely not the "typical" then a destination photo shoot is definitely for you!
