Real Las Vegas Wedding: Elena and Nick
Green Orchid Events‘ Wedding Day Coordinator Angelica writes a guest blog post about her recent coordination experience with Elena and Nick who were married on June 12th.
The beginning of 1 Corinthians 13:4 describes Elena and Nick perfectly,
“Love is Patient, Love is kind”. Elena and Nick’s love for each other was
seen throughout their whole wedding process. They both worked extremely
hard in order in to have their beautiful wedding. The ceremony was held at
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and the reception was at the Siena
Golf Club Bistro.
Pink and silver adorned the amazing bistro while Elena’s dresses
glistened amongst all of their friends and family. Elena and Nick started
off the night with a choreographed first dance to Lauren Hill’s version of
“Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”. Not only was their dance romantic and
comical, but Elena did it with a hurt knee!
Digs Photography and Lighten Films were there to capture every moment and element of the wedding. Once the night came to an end, the newlyweds were sent off to their limo with a grand sparkler exit. We wish Elena and Nick the best of luck as they start their new life together in Oregon. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Petsas!
