Savvy bride las vegas

The most important thing for us was to have fun and hang out with our family and friends. I did splurge on nice makeup because I knew I would be doing my own face and I wanted to make sure I had quality products that would last through all my crying and laughing.

My new mother in law had to detangle me from the fixture! It was hilarious and I thought it was a perfect show of how life goes, luckily it was caught on camera! Another memorable part was going down to downtown Vegas on Fremont street and getting our photos taken.

Neither of us had been to that area and our photographer, Carrie, was awesome with her knowledge about the area. It was like a tour and photoshoot in one! One of my best friends is a flower wizard and was able to put together boutonnieres and bouquets. She got the burlap with lace from a craft store and used a hot glue gun to bring it together instead of pins.

All the flowers and greenery were from Costco, bought the day before the wedding and stored in the refrigerator until it was time to go to the wedding! My dad got into a pretty intense bubble battle with my uncle — another great memory! My flowers, my dress, and my veil were all hand made and DIY.
