I almost started crying with her...

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of coordinating the 3 1/2 year Vow Renewal of Alex and Michelle. When they arrived, Michelle was crying and laughing through her tears because her awesome husband had planned this surprise Renewal for the two of them while here in Vegas. It took me by surprise but I almost started crying with her. They are from Washington D.C. which made my day because my home is close by to D.C. and I always enjoy running into people who I can chat about areas of town we both know back home.

Not only did Alex plan a great surprise for his wife, but they also had so many other fun plans while they were here in Vegas, from attending the Garth Brooks concert that night, to spending the entire next day at the Grand Canyon.

Alex and Michelle have been married 3 1/2 years but have been together a total of 8 1/2 years. They were first married on the beach and had brought the same vows from their wedding 3 years ago to read to each other today. I got to stand behind our videographer and listen in on what they were saying to eachother. With each line, I'd quietly say "aww" or "that's so sweet."

Not only did I feel privileged getting to be a witness to the love between the two of them, but to get to laugh and joke around with them as well really made my day.

Thanks Alex and Michelle for being super cool and letting me be a part of your (second) special day!

New Blogger!

Hi Chapel of the Flowers Blog readers. My name is Samantha and I am a Wedding Coordinator at Chapel of the Flowers and will be one of the newest bloggers here. I'm excited to get to know my couples and share their stories and my favorite things about their ceremony with you.

Wedding Coordinator, Mercedes

Hello!
I am Mercedes Sanchez, and I am a wedding coordinator at Chapel of the Flowers which is located on the one and only Las Vegas Strip!
I am just sixteen, and I am finally a senior at Valley High School, Academy of Hospitality and Tourism.
One of my favorite hobbies is scrapbooking! I love taking pictures and making special memories.
Along with that, I enjoy watching sports, but I love playing them!
But the one thing you just have to know about me is that I love to laugh and have fun, what sixteen year old doesn't?!

Blogger Mania!

Hello, Blog readers! I am Rebecca. I am a wedding coordinator and am one of the many new faces here at the Chapel of the Flowers. I enjoy writing, though I have never blogged before, so I'm sure you'll see many new posts from me.

I am happily married to my best friend in the whole world, and have a beautiful little girl named September Rose.

I love working at the Chapel of the Flowers as a wedding coordinator because I love to see the bride and groom on their wedding day before and after the ceremony. My favorite type of ceremony is the First Look, It's where the groom arrives early to fill out his paperwork and is hidden inside the chapel. The bride arrives a little later and after signing the last few papers is given her bouquet and stands out of sight in the lobby of the chapel. The music plays and she has a grand entrance into the chapel and they see each other all dressed up for the first time. Sometimes the groom will even have tears in his eyes at how beautiful his lovely bride is!

Here at the Chapel of Flowers I know it's safe to say that each and every employee works their hardest to make sure the couple's day is memorable, beautiful and every thing they imagined.

Revewal of Vows

Who says you can't remarry as often as you wish?

Lawrence and Elsie were married here at Chapel of the Flowers in 1985 and enjoyed their experience so much that every 5 years they return here to renew their vows. Today, Elsie wore her mother's wedding dress and veil to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

The chapel grounds have changed since they first wed but this couple looked regal and splendid as they vowed to continue their journey of life together. Their hearty goodbye was a resonant "See you in 5 years"!

A Perfect First Look!!

Mr and Mrs Mendoza were married on June 16 2010 in our beautiful Lacapella chapel! They had been previously married to each other before but did not have a large wedding and now they finally got to have one. Several of the friends and family were able to attend their large wedding and able to share in their special day.

One of the many services we offer at the chapel is a second photographer to capture photo journalistic images taken when the bride, groom , guests are not paying attention and capture "real" natural photos in black and white

One of the other services we offered is what we call a "First Look", this simply means the bride and groom do not see each other until the bride makes her grand entrance into the chapel or down into the gardens aisle.

We can go to great lengths that the two of you don't see each other and keep the romantic, emotional moment of when you see each other alive! You can call to speak to a professional wedding planner that would be happy to help you plan your perfect day and book your grand entrance!
