Lauren''s Wedding Details - 9th March 2006

[LaurenThePartier]

We leave for Las Vegas tomorrow morning at 6:20, so I just wanted to share with everyone the details that I can post about my wedding. I don''t really have a whole lot to do, as my Mom has basically planned the entire reception for 20 at a close family friend''s house, and I''ve just had to manage a few details of the wedding itself at the Bellagio. If any of you choose a Las Vegas wedding, I highly recommend the Bellagio - they''ve been incredibly proactive with me, and made me feel as if they actually care about me.

I know you all have seen my dress and everything already, but I''m sticking it in here anyway - so there!

I''ll start with the Bellagio Chapel . . .

 

[LaurenThePartier]

My bouquet . . . mini calla lillies with muted mixed roses and white spray roses. Tied with chocolate brown ribbon and criss-crossed with blue.

Thanks, appletini! I''m hoping so - I don''t know how I would have managed my stress without the LIWs and the BIWs!

Thank you all for your very valuable input!

Thank you so much, Albi! I don''t know how I would have been able to do it with 8 months to worry about it! Eight WEEKS was stressful enough!

Everything looks so classy...it's going to be beautiful! I'm another blue bride here, and I love your combo of blue/brown! Your dress looks gorgeous, and so will you.

p.s. Mia Calloway just introduced a gorgeous Alencon lace dress and they're asking $3000 for it! UGH.

Thank you so much, Ginger! I certainly hope I''ve done everything I need to - I feel like I''m forgetting something.

I just wanted this to be a very special and memorable moment for Weston and me, and it''s wonderful that the closest of our friends and family will be there. I wish the rest of my family could attend, but we''re saving that for July in Tahoe!

There will be many, many pics I think . . . and I will be sharing them all next week!
