Wedding Wednesday: Around Caesar's

We've been married for over three months now! I'm trickling the photos out, but the long process is actually nice - makes for more time to relive the memories!

Caesar's Palace has a lot of nice spots for wedding photos. If a couple decided not to do a photo tour of the strip, there were certainly lots of options right on site. We had about a half hour between the end of our time in the garden and when our limo was meeting us to take us on the photo tour.

All photos by Bently & Wilson.

Taking the plunge!

We appreciated the moments we got to sit down!

Next time I'll post on our transportation for the day and the first bit of our photo tour.

Wedding Wednesday: Photos in Juno Garden

After our long and drawn out ceremony (just kidding, it was nine minutes and perfect!) it was a great relief to feel like the more formal part of the day was done. We had Juno Garden at Caesar's Palace for a very short time - about a half hour after the ceremony - so we had to be pretty quick at getting the photos done.

We were incredibly lucky to have so many family and friends be able to join us. In total we had 60 guests from all over Canada and the States.  There were many important people who couldn't be there, but we tried to focus on the fact that we had a really great turn out for a destination wedding, and our guests got along so well!

Happily ever after. 

Coming up in the next few weeks will be photos from our limo tour of various spots on the Vegas strip and the reception. Check out my earlier posts on the ceremony, getting ready, and the walk to the garden.

Back to Not-So-Normal

It feels good to be typing again! Excuse my several week absence. I was away taking care of some pretty important stuff - going on vacation, getting married, and moving into a new home!

My life is in a merry state of turmoil at the moment, but I thought I'd hammer out a quick post to show you a tiny bit of the Las Vegas trip. I'm going to wait until all of the professional photos are in before doing a dedicated wedding post - so hang on tight for about two more weeks. In the meantime, I have lots of Vegas style to share!

This was what I wore for the first day in Vegas, which was spent getting our marriage license and meeting with the reception venue. Friendly hint: If anyone ever gets married in Vegas, go to the courthouse when it first opens. We had no wait at all to get our license.

 This is a photo taken from our hotel room at Caesar's Palace. The Bellagio fountains were beside us, and the view at night was simply stunning (I'll share night photos later). Also, I quite loved waking up to see the Chanel sign every morning.

Please be patient with me this week, as house organization is topping my list of priorities at the moment. My hopes are to share with you my October buys (including lots of Vegas finds) and another   outfit post from before our trip.

Wedding Wednesday: The Ceremony Venue

The setting for our wedding ceremony was pretty important to R and I. We knew we wanted to do a hotel on the strip versus a chapel location, but there are so many options! We agreed we would prefer to have the ceremony outdoors, and Vegas in October (fingers crossed) should have temperatures in the low 20's.

We have a list of Vegas hotels we really want to stay in, and at the top of that list was Caesar's Palace. When we looked on Caesar's website and saw their outdoor options for weddings, we were struck by the beauty of Juno Garden.

I love all the white stone and tall palm trees and it's located by the Caesar's Palace pools, but is pretty secluded. Initially I was worried about the benches being uncomfortable, but our ceremony is going to be short, so people won't really be sitting for long.

We get a free night at Caesar's with the wedding package and we've decided to stay there for the duration of the trip. Caesar's is a central location on the strip and right beside the gorgeous fountains at Bellagio.

Hello says Ray!

I won't lie, the fact that the Cheesecake Factory and the giant fish tank with our friend Ray are both at Caesar's may have played a small part in our decision to stay there. 227 days to go!

XOXO
