Chris & Carly’s vintage glam wedding was planned with fun in mind..that was it – lets have a blast! The pair didn’t want traditions or fuss to play a part, instead focusing on great style (white bridesmaid dresses oh yes!), a ton of character and a party that they could claim as their own.
(a bit off topic, but do these group shots remind anyone else of a Vanity Fair front cover…?!)
Photographer Jackie told me all about the day:
Carly is a graphic designer, so she handmade and designed out all of the details of the wedding, from the invites to the candy silhouette favor bags. There were even animal print slap bracelets for all the gals! They used playing cards as place cards with guests names on them and she handpicked each bridesmaid’s red and gold accessories and allowed them each to chose their own short, white dress. The guys got to wear a black suit with a tuxedo shirt and chucks 🙂
It came together perfectly.
My favorite aspect of the wedding was the venue, the Artisan Hotel. IT WAS FABULOUS. It is the hipster hangout for Las Vegas locals and, because it is such a boutique hotel, there was not gaming or Vegas strip madness. It portrayed the vintage-glam description to a *T*
Thanks for sharing Jackie! She has also blogged this on The Wedding Chicks blog.

Let's Frolic Together

David and Kelly's wedding was held at The Riviera Palm Springs Resort. The day have a classic 1950s retro vibe with monochrome details and elegant and timeless glamour throughout.
"The inspiration for our wedding was classic, retro glamour", explained Kelly. "I love everything that embodies the 1950s: the cars, the clothing, the glamour. Women were so put together in such a classy way. I'm a sucker for the old glamour and how people dressed to a 'T' back in those days. People dressed up when they went out. They took pride in their appearances. Short shorts and flip-flops did not cut it when going out on the town. I'm just very classic and 'old school' when it comes to these types of details. I feel that I represent this ideal everyday (even though I do own a pair of flip flops and do wear them every once in a while!)"

Amy and Steve got engaged while on a road trip around America and so an American themed wedding seemed like the most perfect option for them! These guys didn't go for a subtle homage though, they went all out! "Our wedding was a little slice of American pie", Amy began. "We got engaged two years ago on a road trip around the southern states of America. Steve got down on one knee over a BBQ of ribs and beer in the mountains of Virginia. It was the perfect setting and was amongst many aspects of that trip that made it one of our most memorable journeys together."
