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.

ALL SHOOK UP

Trevor and Katie were married this afternoon in our Victorian chapel. I knew we were going to have fun with this couple before they even arrived. In classic VEGAS fashion Trevor and Katie chose to have Elvis perform at their ceremony.

When they arrived we had fun getting all the necessary documents signed and going over the details of their ceremony. Katie had the most beautiful vintage dress and a classic style about her, and her groom was decked out with his black and white sneakers. They had such a fun and playful style, both had contagious smiles that lit up the chapel.

Elvis escorting her down the isle and singing their favorite songs by this legend really showed their playful personalities.
If your looking to express your creativity or love for VEGAS we can certainly customize your special day for you.

Elvis wedding packages can offer all of Chapel of the Flowers extraordinary services such as Videography, Photography, Flower bouquets, and outstanding Planner and Coordinator services, and in attendance...ELVIS himself. Whether you want Elvis to simply sing or if you would like Elvis to perform, sing and walk you down the isle we can coordinate that for you.

Please see our package options at www.littlechapel.com

Congratulations Trevor and Katie, it was a lot of fun being a part of your day!

FAMILY MATTERS

Here it is Friday already, where does the time go? I have been preparing to blog for a couple days now. Trying and thinking too hard about what to blog about or what would everyone want to hear about? Choosing is never easy for me, I get to meet so many really nice couples and their families that sometimes it makes it difficult for me to choose just one to write about.

However I had the great pleasure of coordinating Astrid and Anthony's wedding on Wednesday July 22, 2009.
I knew that Wednesday evening was going to be wonderful from the minute they walked in to the Magnolia Chapel. They welcomed me with such warm smiles and great personalities and they had their adorable son with them. It was a pleasure to see his parents include him on this special day. At one point, just before his beautiful mother was to walk down the isle(escorted by him of course) as I looked at them waiting for the Bridal March to start I noticed just how lovingly this little boy was looking up at his mother. He had the biggest dimpled cheek smile I have ever seen!
I thought wow...this just might be one of the happiest times in his life. He is watching his parents get married. What a wonderful gift.
As the ceremony went on I giggled and smiled watching him play in the pews, and burst at the seams with excitement. It was our photographer, Joe's creativity and pure natural talent that was able to capture not only the love that this couple share for each other but the love that they share for their son as parents. It is nice to know that here at Chapel of the Flowers we are given such opportunities to capture those precious memories for you to cherish years to come, to pass down from generation to generation.

The level of service and care you will be given by our photographers is what sets us apart from the other Chapels in the Las Vegas area. I read a quote the other day by Ansel Adams and thought , Wow that reminds me of the photographers I work with. He said "A great photographer is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."

We offer an array of Portrait packages that will fit your personality and budget. Whatever style images your looking for our photographers can offer a wide range of styles from traditional and contemporary to what is hip and trendy that can fit into whatever your budget will allow. Need ideas, not sure what you really should include in your package? Please contact one of our planners and we will be able to help guide you into the photo package of your dreams.

It was a pleasure to be able to witness such a wonderful ceremony, I hope you enjoy your photos as much as I enjoyed being a part of your families day. Enjoy your photos and cherish your memories and know that here at Chapel of the Flowers... Family Matters!

The New Kid on The Chapel Block!

The New Kid On the Block

Hello Blogger fans!

I am the newest kid on the block here at The Chapel of Flowers! My name is Tonia and I am one of the new wedding coordinators! My story in finding this “hidden treasure” in the craziness of Las Vegas, is somewhat unique. Prior to my work here, I was a full time nanny for almost 3 years and before that worked as a special event planner for major companies such as Disney, St. Regis Aspen and Opryland Hotel in Nashville. On the side, a striving musician and songwriter. One bright sunny morning, I went for a drive on the Las Vegas Strip and passed by many chapels, however when I saw the chapel of flowers and the beautiful landscaping, something unexpected hit me. I knew this was an elegant and unique place; I was drawn to it immediately. I initially called to see if by chance they were hiring piano players, but it turned out, they needed a wedding coordinator! That creativity and passion to be a part of an awesome planning team was reignited in me and there I was standing in the line of applicants, with a hopeful heart!

Hired!!! It didn’t take long to see that this team was a perfect fit for my personality and background! I have been here only a few weeks and I am just blown away at the talented and passionate people I work with! I can tell you this; you don’t find this kind of team just anywhere! The training has been spectacular and reminds me of my Disney days, when I was taught that doing this job is all about the magic, the experience and inviting “guests” not customers to be a part of it.

All in all, this is truly the BEST hidden treasure of Las Vegas. There are many chapels, that will just rush you in and rush you out, but when you plan your wedding here at The Chapel of flowers, no matter what the situation, we take ownership of your day until it’s carried out to a beautiful perfection and we send you off, the happy newlyweds, to your new life together! Everything taken care of for you!

I’ll say that this is my first of blogs as the new kid on the block! I can’t wait to blog more about the experiences here, some of the awesome weddings I’ll get to coordinate and more! So stay tuned and let me know what you think!
