Our First Commitment Ceremony: Flamingo Las Vegas
Laurie and Renee are the sweetest couple and I was so thrilled when they decided to book with Green Orchid Events! I’m excited and honored to be able to plan this first commitment celebration and I’m hoping for many more! Our wedding day coordinator Angelica McDonnell was on site on the wedding day to coordinate their entire day!
The Nevada Domestic Partnership Act went into effect on October 1st just in time for their October 17th commitment celebration. Laurie and Renee were so excited to be able to apply for domestic partnership so this celebration was extra special.
Their color scheme was a combination of orange, burgundy, and deep reds. The entire outdoor terrace was lit up by twinkle lights on their existing trees along with par can uplighting with amber gels. Guests danced the night away to the sounds of the “CEO” of Fun Jodi Harris!

Fall Wedding at Wynn Las Vegas & Maggiano Little Italy
Kelly and Nate were married back in October of 2009 at the Primrose Court in Wynn Las Vegas and celebrated with a dinner reception at Maggiano’s Little Italy.
Below are some of their wedding ceremony photos.
The bridesmaids all wore a beautiful red color to tie into the “crimson and cream” color scheme:
Isn’t Kelly’s purse adorable??
They stayed at the Palazzo Las Vegas so Kelly and her bridesmaids decided to walk to the Wynn to get to her wedding!
Kelly was so happy with the gorgeous ceremony site. Kelly was one of those brides who wanted her wedding to be overflowing with beautiful flowers:
Live pianist Cynthia Harris played their wedding processional, unity candle, and recessional songs:
I loved their red and white unity candle:

Engagement Season Is Here
Engagement season is upon us and so many lucky couples will be engaged this holiday season!
My husband proposed while we were on vacation in Anaheim to visit Disneyland. He’s quite the writer and wrote a heartfelt and beautiful poem to me and incorporated the proposal in the poem.
Here’s another story I love that was caught on “film”. Lori, who is the younger sister of my husband’s tennis teammate from high school (did ya get that?) was surprised by Tim at their very romantic engagement. He sang a song using his guitar from Guitar Hero, had Lori read a letter he hand wrote, and asked her to marry him. AWWW. They truly are a very sweet couple!
What is your engagement story? I’d love to hear them so please comment, reminisce, and share your stories with us!

Real Las Vegas Wedding: Red and Chocolate Brown
Congratulations to Kate and Ge, a sweet couple from Boston, who were married in October at the beautiful Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa! Their colors were red and chocolate brown which were perfect for this setting. Besides Kate’s love for the color red, she also wanted to honor her groom’s Chinese heritage. Some of his family flew in all the way from China to witness their wedding! Following a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony with music played by an acoustic guitarist, Kate, Ge, and their family and close friends celebrated with a cocktail style reception.
Congratulations Kate and Ge!

Khloe Kardashian’s Wedding Dress
I admit that I’ve been a Reality TV junkie lately – but only both Kardashian shows.  Anyway, I just HAD to see the wedding of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom which aired last night.
Khloe’s Vera Wang mermaid style wedding gown was stunning! I love the lavender sash as well as her bridesmaids’ dresses in varying shades of purple.
On a side note, Khloe & Lamar’s wedding was planned by celebrity wedding planner Sharon Sacks of Sacks Productions, with whom I interned for during a one weekend internship for the Revlon Run/Walk.
Congratulations Khloe and Lamar!

Real Las Vegas Wedding: Sara and Kevin
Sara and Kevin knew what they wanted when they called me. They wanted something that was not a traditional wedding reception in the same location for six hour. They also decided to get married in Las Vegas without ever having been to Las Vegas!
We started their August wedding day at Planet Hollywood Resort and they were married in the wedding chapel. Following the ceremony, the party enjoyed a cocktail reception in their panorama suite with entertainment provided by an acoustic singer and guitarist. After that, we all boarded a party bus to Dos Caminos at Palazzo for a delicious dinner.  The party then went on all night going from some Las Vegas hot spots such as the Fremont Street Experience to the Las Vegas sign where we happened to run into an Elvis impersonator!
Congratulations Sara and Kevin on your new life together in Chicago!
Wedding Planner: Green Orchid Events
Ceremony & Cocktail Reception: Planet Hollywood
Wedding Dinner: Dos Caminos
