    Last time, I reviewed one of my favorite chapels on the Las Vegas Strip: The Chapel at Mandalay Bay. Unfortunately, not all of Vegas’s wedding establishments are as elegant as Mandalay Bay, so for the couple who are thinking about trekking out to sin city for their nuptials, a little research is always important. Don’t stick with the first place you’ve set your mind to – the perfect Vegas chapel, like a good Christmas tree, is hardly ever in the first lot. The Chapel at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, for example, would not be my first choice for tying the knot in Las Vegas...

    Getting married in Vegas isn’t what is used to be. Gone are the days of driving down to the skeezy end of the strip for a quick “hey-there-you’re-married” with an obese octogenarian Elvis. The swanky hotels are stepping it up with entire bridal teams and lavish in-house chapels, ready to paint you pretty for your big day. “Caesars Palace” offers lush garden ceremony just steps away from their opulent pool; “Mandalay Bay” has a wedding package that has you reciting your vows under a shiver of sharks; and “Treasure Island” lets you smooch your fiancé on the same pirate ship ...

    Ashley & Jeremy are wedding photographers so were in Las Vegas at the same time as I was for WPPI. After the Airplanes & Blazers party (which I was also at…!) Jeremy was sitting at a table with Patrick from StillMotion (while Ashley was off in the bathroom) and Jeremy was telling Patrick he would love to propose. Patrick encouraged him, telling him if he proposed and they got married while they were all still in Vegas, Patrick would shoot it! When Ashley returned, Patrick proposed, right there and then by saying “Will you marry me…on Wednesday?!” So just 36 ...

    Filed under: Alternative Weddings, RelationshipsIt was a beautiful wedding: the rich red aisle carpet was dotted with flower petals as the three tiny flower girls toddled up the aisle. The bride was a vision in white, the pews glossy, tasteful antiques decorated the venue, while the bridesmaids' flowers added subtle color to the event.It was a beautiful wedding, normal in every way -- and it was held in a funeral home. The Sullivan-King Mortuary in Anderson, South Carolina, is the bride's family's business. When Taylor was a little girl, her father would tease her that the funeral home's chape...

    Obviously, every bride has a certain order to her madness when wedding planning is involved and from being involved in so many of my girlfriend’s weddings, I knew the first 4 items to tackle when you begin your wedding planning are the ceremony location, the reception venue, the photographer, and the dress. Others were sure to follow at a rapid pace, but I knew where I needed to get started: the ceremony locale! Growing up in Nashville, which equates to all things southern and a fairly large wedding market, I knew there were some amazing venue choices at my fingertips… first of all, there...

    Instead of the traditional church wedding and reception, many brides choose a chapel in the mountains as their wedding venue. Two friends married several years ago in a chapel built around a huge boulder. The guests rented several cabins in the area and spent a weekend celebrating. Inspired by that, I give you a simple mountain wedding, simply southern. {Image Sources: Brides Cafe, Paper Orchid, Brides.com, Mentone, Cameron Browne via Frolic, Brooke Schwab Photography, Sweetwater Brewery, Mentone, The Knot, Brides.com} Pick up some Sweetwater Blue and head to your favorite chapel in Alabam...

    … and we’re gonna get married… Can you believe it? My wedding is just around the corner! This weekend Ryan and I got to hang out with our videographers, and had the chance to reflect on our relationship, which was such a wonderful thing to do the week before our wedding. I just cannot wait to be married to the love of my life and my very best friend! I’m playing hooky this week to finish up some last little details (like unpacking all these moving boxes…), spend time with friends and family who are coming to town, and to marry this handsome devil. How lucky am I?! {photo by Jesse...

    I believe it's always a nice addition to provide your guests with directions to the ceremony and from the ceremony to the reception. This information can be placed on your wedding website along with hotel accommodation information. Or should you make welcome bags or baskets for out-of-town guests, consider adding a map along with things to do in the city over the weekend. The map can also be an enclosure with your invitation ensemble or given to guests as they are departing the wedding ceremony. When creating this type of information, you have to decide do you want an actual map showing a comp...

    With weddings taking place all over the world it's not always possible to have everyone there to share in your big day. Brisbane wedding venue Broadway Chapel has come to the party, launching live web streaming of weddings to cater for overseas family and friends unable to make the journey to Australia. The web streaming was introduced in response to an emotional bride whose New Zealand-based grandmother was too ill to fly to Brisbane for their wedding. The majority of couples who wed at Broadway Chapel have close family members who live outside of Brisbane. Live video streaming works by havin...
