I am yet to see a Las Vegas elopement I didn’t like, which is probably why we publish so many of them on Rock n Roll Bride! There’s just something about those of you that choose to get hitched in Sin City that makes everything so extra cool.

Sammy and Craig’s wedding was absolutely awesome. Super casual, super fun and just for them. Their ceremony was held on the rooftop of the El Cortez hotel car park and was organised an lead by Victoria at Flora Pop. “We married at sunset on a rooftop with panoramic views of Las Vegas in all its glory – one side, the strip; the other, the desert. It was so magical. Our celebrant, Victoria, delivered a beautiful and intimate blessing, which was perfect for us. We wrote our own vows, which were both emotional and comical. Once we’d said our ‘I Do’s’, we had our first dance to ‘our song’, re-recorded by one of our very talented friends. We then cracked open the bubbly and started on a pub crawl of downtown Vegas.”

“Victoria also created a gorgeous cacti altar for us, which served as the perfect addition to the urban rooftop. The other must-have prop was the retro confetti by Confetti Wishes Store – I just love the way it falls!”

They wanted to feel like themselves on their wedding day, and nowhere else was this more important than in the clothes they wore. “As someone who never wears white, I thought I would make an exception for the big day”, Sammy explained. “I didn’t want to go down the traditional route and also didn’t want to spend too much money, so I ventured online. I knew I wanted a tutu – I just love the way they feel when you move – and I found a great designer on Etsy called Wardrobe By Dulcinea who handmade my skirt to my exact specifications. The top was an eBay find, the heels were by quirky shoe designer Lola Ramona, necklace and earrings by Tatty Devine, and the bumbag was a personal creation!”

“We are lovers of all things non-traditional,” explained Sarah, “so the idea of getting married in a way that was going to the most fun and carefree way available was our inspiration; it was basically to have a cool story to tell our kids. Our wedding was fun, fast and all things Vegas!”

They had chosen to have a shotgun wedding at A Little White Chapel, but the start was not quite what they expected, “Shortly after arriving at the chapel it actually went into lock down with Elvis on security duties! The chapel had become overrun with a massive family wanting a wedding right then and there. No one was really in control of the situation and in hindsight it’s actually really funny but at the time we were pretty confused!”
