Our Backyard Las Vegas Wedding Was Amazing Thanks To Bridal Spectacular Vendors



Most of the stress of planning Las Vegas Weddings can be alleviated with the help of some very important tools. We know that first hand now as my daughter's wedding was on April 23rd in our backyard. Every vendor who helped to complete this awesome day we found either through our very own bridal show, The Bridal Spectacular, our publication, Spectacular Bride or on our website.

We can't wait to share the details of this Asian themed wedding in the next issue of Spectacular Bride. You will even be treated to a feature spread where you get to see the bride photographed by 10 of Las Vegas' finest wedding photographers. Same bride, but how different she can look through the unique styling of 10 photographers. You will have the opportunity to compare the approach of each photographer and choose the one that best suits your personality.

You can meet all the professionals who participated in our wedding at the August 19 & 20 Bridal Spectacular. You will also be able to see a display of the asian themed decor we used at the show as well as other inspirational decor ideas in Inspiration Avenue. We have shared a few photos in this blog to give you just a hint of what it was like.

We found all these professionals through Bridal Spectacular, dance instructor, wedding cake, photographer, videographer, wedding consultant, florists, honeymoon arrangements, rentals, table linens, invitations, disc jockey, entertainment, wedding apparel, lounge furniture, tuxedos and more.

How Hard Can It Be to Plan A Wedding?


As a Las Vegas wedding professional who produces the largest bridal show in Nevada, I thought I was certainly prepared to plan a wedding when my daughter announced she was engaged. If you are in the midst of planning your wedding now, I'm sure you will agree that its a lot harder than it looks.

The best thing we did to get started was to attend a friends bridal show in another state. Even though I'm at my own bridal show twice a year, my daughter and I are too busy working to work on wedding plans. Walking through a bridal show puts you in front of every possible wedding vendor you could ever need. Face to face contact with your vendors is so important, picking someone off of the internet will not give you the personal touch you deserve and need.

Our next step was to read the wedding planner we publish, "Spectacular Bride" cover to cover. There was so much to learn to prepare us for what was ahead.

Then we did something I think every bride should do, we also hired a wedding coordinator to guide us through the steps and to be there on the wedding day to make sure things went smoothly. It is now only 48 days until the wedding and we are getting so excited. There are many more details we will share about what we have learned along the way. Stay tuned for my next post! I'll be sharing why a backyard wedding may not save you money.

Find Las Vegas wedding professionals for your wedding at Bridal Spectacular bridal show

When I began my Las Vegas wedding planning, I had a few ideas in mind. I would like my groom’s good friend to be our wedding photographer. After all, I’d seen his photographs, trusted his photography business, and received recommendations from other brides he had photographed. Also, I knew I wanted to visit a family friend in the jewelry business to scout for our wedding rings. All in all, I was off to a good start! Click Heading of Story to see More......

Facebook’s Affects on Your Las Vegas Wedding

Facebook’s Affects on Your Las Vegas Wedding

Did anyone else read last week’s headlines about the groom who updated his Facebook relationship status at the altar? Whether you found this funny or alarming, there’s no denying social networking has changed the way we live.
Since Facebook has become integral to daily life for many people, why shouldn’t we allow it to affect our weddings as well? From personal experience, here are my “Top Five” (no “Top 8” here… so long, MySpace) ways that Facebook can have an impact on your upcoming Las Vegas wedding:
