Whether you want retro kitsch, desert drama, or a quickie with flair, Vegas has you covered. One of the best things about getting married in Vegas is the freedom. You actually don't need a chapel or specific wedding venue at all; you could get married on the street if you wanted to! But if you are looking for a tried and true space that will be used to working with alt couples like you, here are our favourites:Read more...

Las Vegas has always had a reputation for spontaneous weddings, but for alternative couples, a Vegas wedding offers something more useful: flexibility. You can build a day that looks however you want it to. Wear what you like. Invite who you want. Keep it small. Go all out. Skip the traditions or invent your own. Vegas can take it.Read more...

Planning a wedding can be a super stressful time for everyone, but when you have a chronic illness or disability, added stress can also have a huge impact on your physical health. So how do you navigate wedding planning and all the inevitable stresses that it brings while keeping yourself as healthy as possible? Yes, you can take the outlook that most alternative wedding suppliers promote of ‘your day, your way’ and try to make the planning as fun as possible but this only really is the first step when you have a long-term condition.Read more...

There’s a lot of noise around AI right now, from fears about job losses to concerns over ethics and the environment. But like it or not, AI isn’t going anywhere. So rather than bury my head in the sand, I figured it was better to use my platform to help you understand it - and hopefully show you how to use it responsibly, creatively, and in a way that helps you plan the wedding you actually want.Read more...

By now, you’ve probably seen those viral “wedding recap” reels on TikTok or Instagram – the ones that somehow appear just hours after the ceremony. The ones that make you go: Wait, how did they already post that?! Well, there’s a good chance a wedding content creator was behind it. A wedding content creator is a service provider who creates primarily video content on their phones. The idea is you have a skilled person who is capturing all of the moments of a wedding, candidly. That is also the person, a couple would put in charge of recreating any trending videos or transitions, lip syncs, etc. They often provide clips in a quick turn around, so the couple can share their wedding “in real time” or within a the few days after, on their social media. Some wedding content creators even offer a wedding day takeover, so they really are posting the wedding day in real time. We spoke to Falon Mei of Vegas Wedding Content Creator all about this rising, and sometimes controversial, new trend.Read more...

Flowers have long symbolised love, beauty, and new beginnings, so it’s no wonder they are synonymous with weddings. Although they often take centre stage when it comes to wedding décor, floral details can be woven into bridal styling too. Whether you’re inspired by bold maximalist floral prints, statement accessories, or vintage treasures, adding floral details to your wedding look allows you to infuse a sense of romantic whimsy into your aisle style.Read more...

Let’s be real. Most “budget wedding” advice you find online isn’t really budget advice. It’s “my aunt is a florist” advice. It’s “my best friend is a graphic designer and gifted us our invites” advice. It’s “we got married on my parents’ estate” advice. But what if you don’t have any of that?Read more...

Planning a wedding is an emotional journey, and for queer couples it can come with a whole extra layer of considerations.

That’s why finding LGBTQ+ affirming vendors – not just tolerant, but actively inclusive – is so essential. Here are our tips for finding wedding professionals who don’t just accept you, but champion your love.Read more...

As a gay, non-gender conforming couple, tradition wasn’t something AJ and Ryan felt obligated to follow. That freedom shaped every part of their day into something intimate and imaginative. "We had no expectations on us so we could make it our own, start our own traditions", they wrote. "We skipped pretty much all of the normal wedding traditions bar not seeing each other the night before the wedding. We kept that one for the excitement and to give each other space to decompress after the hectic build up."Read more...

There’s no one way to be goth. Some of us were raised on fantasy novels and Victorian mourning gowns. Some of us still listen to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge on repeat. Others just feel most themselves in black, with a little lace and a lot of eyeliner. Whether you’re leaning medieval, romantic, emo, soft goth or something in between, a gothic wedding is about choosing aesthetic over tradition and owning the mood that feels most like you.Read more...

Tying the knot the day before Halloween, right in the middle of Día de Muertos celebrations, it was the perfect setting for them.Read more...

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how accurate that is! As you know, I’m all about celebrating alternative shoots and weddings (obviously!), but just because someone doesn’t appear to be straight, white, or fit a certain body ideal doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the luxury end of the wedding market.Read more...
