  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.

  Yaay! I made a planning bio!

  Favor: Premiere Photobooth / Buri Fans
  Hair/Makeup artist: Harmony Medina
  Dress: Oleg Cassini from David's Bridal

  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!
