Nevada-Las Vegas

A few questions (photography & flower based)

Hey everyone
I know in the past brides who got married a MB have used outside flowers, but I was just wondering if anybody recently has/is planning on it.  My package includes flowers for me and FI, but i was thinking about bouts and maybe a few other flowers for BMs/moms etc. With the recent issdues with t he vista, i'm wondering if they are going to start doing other things to brides unexpectedly.

And for those who got married in summer (heck anytime out in NV) and took pictures outside, how did you like them? I may be looking too much into it, but im afraid of planning on a strip tour if i will be squinting in all the shots!

Thanks again for all the help :)

    Fortunately we are getting married outside of the chapel because mandalay's florist charges about three times more than a normal florist and takes ten times as long to get back to you.  My guess is the chapel doesn't allow outside floral though so you may not have an option.

    We weren't on the strip but our ceremony was outside - and TBH I think I'm squinting in a lot of our pictures.  Other people have told me I'm being too critical.  But then again, our TTD pics were also outside, at 4PM, it was a bright sunny day and I love how those pics turned out.  So, I guess I'm really not that big of a help.  I'd say to still go with the strip tour though, I just love how those photos usually turn out!

    I hardly squinted at all. But my H was squinting in a lot of our photos...poor guy couldn't  help it.  If I could do it all over again I would have gone to indoor locations or more well shaded areas instead of insisting on the outdoor/sunny spots.  We definitely have a lot of outdoor photos, but yeah I would definitely plan for more indoor shots if your tour is during the afternoon hours.

    MB floral is super duper expensive.  But being the lazy bride that I am I used them.  I'm not sure anyone will notice if your BP arrives with bouts on and flowers in hand.  They are moving around so quickly and checking off all the details you requested I think if you did use outside floral it would be a don't ask don't tell situation.  For all they know, you could have requested to pick your flowers up early for pictures.

    thanks for all the tips! i was figuring to do this for the bouts on the guys as if they are already on i cant see them taking them off of them, when it gets closer maybe i'll cave and just use them for the girls (or for just my mother lol)

    i think we will still go on the photo tour i'll have to ask todd for good locations where there wont be tooo much squinting :) i absolutely love your photos direy, aegrish and the few ive seen of yours vfriday..i love this time of year i get to see everyone's hard work completed and get great ideas!
