Nevada-Las Vegas

30 days!!!!!

...........................till I leave for Vegas!! Actually 29 I think : : ) Wow! The time is really flying! anyone else getting close?? I have been searhcing this board daily for a year!

I added pics of my first dress fitting to my page. Getting things done. Check....check....1....2......1.....2.....Also added a shout out about Jay from catering at the Orleans on my vendors page. That guy rules!!

Now it's time to make favors, escort cards, and programs. We are moving this weekend too! It's been nuts. I'm just so happy that it's coming along nicely.

Anyone have any pics of amazing curly romantic updo's with volume? Hahaha! I can't find anything I love. For some reason I love the big ratted look that they rock on the runway. Probably too messy for a wedding. : )

you ladies are great! I'm in an excited mood today.

    We are getting married in the Juno Garden at Caesars on Mon 28th June and we leave on the 23rd June to come to Vegas woop woop.
    I am currently in the process of deciding flowers, music etc and Ashley from Caesars has been absolutely wonderful in answering all my questions and helping me with my decisions - I did have a bit of a panic as my wedding coordinator was just recently changed to Ashley but I think I was having an irrational moment and I've found that I didn't really need to worry as Ashley has been more than perfect!
    I hope you both enjoy your day.

    I think she took her bio down. But I would start a thread for her on E and I am sure she will respond and show you pic's :)
    ETA: I did a search for her...

    Thanks Rach!!! That would be terrific if you have them :)

    Marylady- We are leaving for Vegas the same day! So excited! My WC is Shani. So glad yours worked out for you! I think mine will be great. She has answered my questions, but doesn't seem as excited as others are in the helping process. I'm sure it will come together really nicely though. : )

    Here are the pictures of Shelly's hair...and, she said:
    If her hairdresser asks, all the girl did was curl my hair, tease the top and the pin the curls randomly.

    Wow, I also leave for Vegas the 23rd and get married on the 26th!

    Marylady-I am also getting married at CP and my WC also switched to Ashley a couple weeks ago.  I think she is great too, she is actually my third WC and she is by far the best!  I finalized all of my stuff with her last week and it feels great!  Best of luck with everything!

    Lndsy-You have such a great attitude for everything you have going on, the wedding and moving! Ditto PP, you have a great energy and mood, you put a smile on my face!

    How exciting!  What are you doing at The Orleans, if you don't mind me asking?  We are having our reception there, and Jay has been really great.  Honestly, I can't wait to see all your reviews, as we booked the Double-decker bus too.

    I bet these last few weeks go fast!
  • edited December 2011

    You girls seriously are great! i was in a good mood.....but I was just telling my fiancee.....after talking to you all on here....now i'm in a better mood! He hopes that I can keep this up for the month and I don't snap! :)

    Thanks for the hair pics Rach. Just the type I'm looking for! Don't know why it was so hard to find hairstyles like this.

    Kristina- congrats to you too! What chapel are you in? I'll probably see you!!! Too funny! :) Have a safe flight when you go out. I live in LA so we decided to just drive out. Many times we fly though because it's so quick.

    Fairbanksgrrrl- We are having our rehearsal dinner and a big welcome party in the stardust suite Friday night before our wedding. We have like 95 people! Hope it's enough room! Just dinner for 30 and then the rest are stopping by later for cocktails. We wanted to do a goodbye breakfast but since we have 100 people everyone wanted to charge us a crazy rate. It was just getting out of control for us. Jay was willing to work with our budget and we are doing a pool party the morning after our wedding at the pool. Continental breakfast, coffee, and juices.  I'll let you know about the double decker bus. I hope the guests really like it! Just a bit nervous because our wedding is end of June and they have no air.

    Anyone take the double decker bus when it was hot? tooo steaammmmmyyy?? Oh la la!

    Thanks!  We are in the Juno Garden, I don't know where the chapels are in relation to the garden, but we definitely may run into each other!  Our ceremony is at 4:00, what time is yours?  Have a safe drive out, I imagine it will be nice to have a car with the freedom to take as much stuff as you want/need!!
  • edited December 2011

    Kristina- My ceremony is in Classico Chapel at 4 pm! Wow!!! We are complete twins! Are you taking any pics around Caesars? If so I'm sure I will see you!!! : ) Are you having a reception? mine is at Maggiano's.

  • edited December 2011

    Seems to be a few of us heading to Vegas and especially to Caesars at the same time!! 


    Kristina1003 - I'm glad I'm not the only insane one to be having an outside wedding in June lol !!!  As I'm in Scotland I spent a lot of time on google looking for a venue and picked the Juno just by the look of one picture alone!!  Thanks to the knotties on here I've found quite a few pictures of the garden and I know I've picked the perfect place for my wedding but I've still to find any real wedding pictures or videos of the garden (although I will be there in just over 4 weeks woo hoo)
    I hope you have a great day when it comes around and good luck !!

    Lndsy1213 - I'm sure everything with the planning will work out fine for you and good luck with the move and the wedding

    marylady-I figure I will probably be sweating right outta my dress, but hopefully we'll get a light breeze of some sort to help us out!  I too am going by the limited amount of pictures I have seen of the garden, but from what I have seen it looks great!  Good luck with everything and safe travels from Scotland!

    lndsy-We are doing pictures for two hours after the ceremony with Deacon, so I am sure we will see each other around if you are doing some as well!  We are doing an unhosted reception, mostly because we STILL have people who haven't committed one way or the other to the trip (ugghh that's is a whole other rant lol).

    Yay for being so close, and I am in love with your dress.  It is so gorgeous.

    Lori White did an awesome curly updo on my older sister/moh on my wedding day.  Here is a shot of the back:



    And here is an action/candid shot of the side. She had a little black flower pin on the side:

    This is cool - we all have a lot of the same vendors - Caesars, Deacon, Maggiano's. Woo woo! Can't wait for reviews and pics.
