My sister is getting married at Chapel of the Flowers this coming Saturday. I will make sure to post some pictures!

I plan on getting married at Chapel of the Flowers in November and my reception will also be at the Vista Suite Mandaylay Bay.

Comfortable heels: I just purchased Nina brand Culver heel. They are very popular. I got Chocolate Brown. 2.5 in heel. They seemed very flexible/bendable.
Recent bride Amandajean(??)  had them in apple green.

I am basically a week behind you! Your planning looks great. I still need transportation as well, and accessories!

August 6th for me -- it's getting close!

Checks so far:

Ceremony: Wynn

Reception: Maggiano's

DJ: Soulweddings 

Hair/Makeup: Harmony Medina

Cake: Retro -- still need to pick a flavor!

Flights: Delta 

Hotel: Hilton Grand Vacation Resort on the Strip

Shoes, jewelry, etc. 

Still need to:

Arrange a rental car

Get my dress bustled

Pick a song for the mothers and grandmothers to be seated on

Get a unity candle

Make a seating chart -- waiting until RSVP deadline

Buy wedding party gifts

Purchase favor boxes, tags and candy

As far as shoes go, I went on Zappos.com and ordered 3-4 pairs. I tried them all on and picked the ones that were the most comfy and stylish and sent the rest back. You can return their shoes for up to a year (as long as you haven't worn them) and they have a pretty good selection. It beat driving all over everywhere to find some shoes -- even if I did lose some dough on the shipping costs, it was worth it for the peace of mind and time saved. Just a thought.

Also, DSW usually has a decent selection if you can get to one.

ooohh, I'm getting married that Thursday!  Isn't it exciting/nerve wracking??!! 

Everytime I think I'm close to done, I remember something else I'm missing

My Checks:
Hotel stay: Mandalay Bay
Ceremony: Valley of the Falls
Reception: Maggiano's Little Italy
D.J.: All Night Long Entertainment
Favor: Premiere Photobooth / Buri Fans
Hair/Makeup artist: Harmony Medina
Dress: Oleg Cassini from David's Bridal
Photographer: Bently & Wilson
Videographer (for reception): Memory Creations

MY accessorries - shoes (with a penny in it - bought 8 months ago so I had a lot of time to break those babies in), jewelry (something new), veil (something borrowed)

Still Missing:

Little things: flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow, sand ceremony set, d.i.y      programs

Bigger things: Cake, limo, rehearsal dinner, people to mail in their RSVP's (deadline in 1 week),  final payments coming up too... makes me scared

Good luck!!

Not an Aug. bride but just wanted to say can't wait til your wedding/reviews, as we have a lot of the same vendors, in bold!  But we're doing L, not Vista, but still.  Check out my bio for shoes, they are by RSVP and they have these foot petal things in them that make them seem very comfortable, guessing other styles by them would be just as comfortable too!

thanks for the shoe tips
