Vegas Wedding
Getting married in Las Vegas is fun, exciting, and can fit into even the tightest of wedding budgets. Weddings in Vegas can be cozy and intimate or wild and themed. If you want to get married by Elvis, that’s a possibility. That’s the great thing about Las Vegas, anything goes!
Getting Married in Vegas – Pros and Cons
A major perk of getting married in Vegas is that weddings can be put together with little to no notice, and there will always be a place available no matter the time or date. There are hundreds of churches and chapels in Vegas, but those aren’t your only options. Hotels, tourist attractions, and public areas can also make elegant wedding locations.

Jenny's Illustration Board
My niece, Jennifer Nalus, is getting married in January, 2010. I was so excited when she asked me to help her plan her wedding. The wedding is in the Philippines and I am in California, so that is a bit of a challenge. All my wedding vendors are in the US and I am not familiar with wedding vendors in the Philippines. However, with my talented sister-in-law and my other nieces helping their sister, everything is working fine. Jenny’s wedding planning is coming together.
How to Plan A Green Wedding
October 20, 2009
Many environmentally conscious wedding couples are choosing to have “green” weddings instead of traditional weddings. Couples are trying to reduce their carbon footprint, protect the Earth, and still have an unforgettable event. Having a wedding that is beautiful, traditional, and also eco-friendly is a possibility if couples plan ahead and exchange regular options for green options.
An Alternative to Disposable Cameras

Disposable Cameras Are Falling Out of Favor
It used to be an “in-thing” to have disposable cameras readily available for guests to snap photos at weddings. The wedding couple purchases the disposable cameras in bulk, sets them on the tables, the guests take photos, leave the camera on the table and a few days after the wedding the bride and groom remember to have the photos developed. These days, it is no longer fashionable to distribute disposable cameras because you can never be sure how the photos will come out in the hands of novice photographers. You might get dozens of photos of your guests’ feet or the ceiling, over exposed or under exposed photos of otherwise great pictures. In the end, you wasted your money on the cameras plus the cost of developing useless photos.

Backyard Wedding Reception
You may have noticed that the costs for everyday items are at an all time high. Unfortunately the expenses relating to weddings have also increased as our economy has struggled. While fancy catered dinners and designer wedding gowns can take a big chunk out of your overall budget, engaged couples are often shocked to discover that rental fees on locations used for weddings and receptions have skyrocketed. What’s a bride to do? Many thrifty brides are deciding to cut costs and save money by having their receptions in their own backyard. A backyard wedding can be just as beautiful as one in a rented area, but does require more work.
