Favorite Dresses & Awesome Hair Pieces




Short and Sweet- Samantha (awesome name by the way) came over with her fiance from the UK to get married to her sweetheart. She was cute as a button with an adorable personality and a dress to match. It was short with a plain cream tank dress underneath of a long sleeve sheer cover with silver sequins and embroidery on it and a wide satin cream band at the bottom securing the two layers together. So simple but elegant and beautiful.









Absolutely beautiful- It was just Alia and her groom that day and I have to say that she is one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. They had an amazing photo shoot with tons of awesome pictures. Her dress was a lace halter with a long lace train. I love lace. There is just something so elegant and classy about it, it reminds me of the early 1900's. I guess I can be a sucker for the traditional.

My All Time Favorite- I saw Harmoni get out of the limo and said "that's the Galina dress model#SV9563!" I already knew this dress as it has been my favorite wedding dress for some time now. The line provides a long beautiful silhouette, a soft silky fabric with a free flowing train, a beaded dropped waist and ruching where the front of the dress overlaps at the waist.
She also had a great vintage hair piece to wear with it. I couldn't stop telling her how amazing she looked.

Ten Wonderful Years

Andy and Jenney Brown renewed their vows here at Chapel of the Flowers, where they were married ten years ago. The couple was so excited to be back, and they remembered everything from their wedding day. They also brought their unity candle from their wedding day, and lit it together one more time. The candle was in the original packaging, and it was the first time they saw the candle since their wedding day! Andy was a helpless romantic and Jenney was thrilled to be back! We wish them more years to come.

Texas Style Wedding

August 21, 2010 Justin and Sara had a beautiful ceremony in our gardens. They enjoy the outdoors and it only made sense for them to have their special day outside at Chapel of the Flowers.

Sara and her bridesmaids looked stunning in their dresses.
Justin and his groomsman sported a casual Texas style. They wore jeans, collared shirts, cowboy boots, and their cowboy hats!
Thank you Justin and Sara for bringing your Texas style to Vegas!

I really enjoyed meeting you and your family.
Enjoy married life! It was an honor to be part of your day.

Southern Belle Beauties

I had the opportunity to meet Sonny and Jessica! I first met them at their consultation with Michelle, who is one of our wedding planners. The next time I saw them was at their check out in our gift shop after their ceremony. The final time we met was at their photo appointment the following day. They were both still glowing from the realization that they are both married. Both Sonny and Jessica are photogenic, so their pictures turned out amazing!

They have been together since they were 15 years old and met in homeroom class in high school. He noticed her putting her make-up on and she finally just gave him a piece of paper with her name and number and said, "You will be my boyfriend, call me!" He did just that. It worked because now they are happily married after 12 years!

Congratulations to Sonny and Jessica for letting us be a part of your special day!

Elvis is in the Chapel!!!

Richard and Alexandra were married on August 14, 2009 in our La Capella chapel.
They are a super sweet couple! Alexandra looked absolutely stunning in her vintage style dress and her red heels! We all loved her looked! Richard rocked his pink tie!

Richard and Alexandra had a small ceremony. They brought along two family members with them that also matched there wedding decor! Alexandra had Elvis, Yes Elvis, walk her down the isle! She was so excited, but her sister was just a little more excited than she was!



When Elvis walked through the chapel doors I thought her sister was going to fall over! She could not believe her eyes. To her it was like seeing the "real" Elvis!
Elvis went to set up and practice for a moment before the ceremony. He starting singing and Alex's sister told us that she is in love! We all joked that we needed to hold he back!




Elvis sang three songs through out the ceremony. It was like having there own private concert!
Along with our beautiful bride and groom, some staff members also enjoyed listening to the sounds of Elvis!







Richard and Alexandra had purchased there rings here in Las Vegas. They decided that it would be a nice touch to get there wedding bands in the town they were married in!
Congratulations! I enjoyed meeting you and your family members! It was a joy to be part of your special day! Best of luck to you!
