Okay. Grab a cup of coffee or a cocktail (it’s noon somewhere right) and have yourself a very comfortable seat. This From Inspiration to Reality shoot isn’t your standard wedding fare. It’s so much more. A little bit masculine, a little bit feminine. A little bit high fashion, a little bit vintage. A little bit pretty, a little bit gorgeous. It’s a blend of everything I love, done with a delicate hand and an eye for design. Big, big props to Tracey of Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge, Chelsea Nicole, Tifany of Gourmet Invitations, Shannon of Emplume, Naakiti Floral Design, and all of the other vendors (full list below) for putting together such great eye candy…





From the moment Chelsea Nicole and I found out about the “Inspiration to Reality” features, we were both on the same page in wanting to give Style Me Pretty readers a glimpse into a different side of Las Vegas; one that evoked the glamour that was the early hey days of this fabulous city! Our entire Las Vegas creative team was absolutely thrilled when we found this stunner of an Inspiration Board called, “Fur & Feathers” that was created by Chiara. The weathered luggage, fur (but only faux for us) and feathers made us think of the movie, “The Aviator” about the legendary Howard Hughes who is as much a part of the “dreamer-can-do” spirit, history and development of Las Vegas as Bugsy Siegel is. As we browsed through the production still images from the movie we became increasingly giddy about our choice knowing it was a perfect way to tie the essence and style of this inspiration board to our unique location in Vegas. Hollywood and Las Vegas have always shared an allure of design, fashion and love of the good times since the 40’s. Alas, starlets in beautiful, demure, vintage inspired designer gowns and handsome men dressed sharp in tuxedos or dinner jackets may not be the scene d’jour anymore, but for us it was a dream we made come true to inspire you all to “Return to Desert Glamour”.

oh wow, stunning! Can't wait to see more of this board!
Swoon!!! This is just to gorgeous and stunning for words. Bravo!!!
wow! this is GORGEOUS! love the elegance of this shoot and subtle toning of the images.
That shade of turquoise is just perfect... it is also the color of my accent wall in my living room! :)
this color combination is incredible! I wonder if the cakes are hand painted? They have a wonderful shimmer. I love the peacock motif on the cake - very subtle. I wouldn't have even thought to use that color of orchid and its perfect!
Thank goodness this isn't a real wedding, because if I were shooting it I might just stand there drooling the whole time forgetting to take pics. :) This is gorgeous! That peacock cake is out of this world. The colors are perfect!
Oh my goodness!!!!!! Where oh where is that oval picture frame from? (The one that says please take a seat). I've been looking for something like that for all of my table numbers for ages. Where can I find it?
wow! this is amazing!!!! so absolutely gorgeous! Would you be able to share with us how the display with the keys and the "please take seat" sign were made?
I LOVE everything Chelsea Nicole does! The peacock cake is genius and the overall design has me breathless! Love the round seat cushions!
This is a perfect example of how a backdrop of taupe and creamy neutrals help jewel tones pop! Love it!
Absolutely stunning! Love the colour scheme and details - kudos to the team!
Mary Kate and cc - The Please Take a Seat frame came from Hobby Lobby!
Can't wait to see the rest of the photos today!
Love the color scheme and the dainty plates. The cakes are so unique also!
OMG I am obsessed with the colors and feathers here - it is absolutely stunning! Oh, if I could plan my wedding all over again - I'd totally steal shamelessly from this beautiful inspiring wedding :) Gorgeous job!
Oh my gosh I love the 1st cake from the left!!!! It's adorable!
I want the same for my wedding!
Could anyone help me to find a bigger picture of this cake so I can try to make my cake designer do same style!
Thanks a LOT!
a resounding WOW!!!!
that came from Hobby Lobby!!!! I'm getting that today....
So vintage Holliwood and luxe! Those cakes are to die for! You did an amazing job bringing fantasy to life.
OMG - I am so proud of you all! The work is stunning!
Absolutely stunning! Very nice work.
This is beautiful! I love how every little detail is tied together with this Aviator theme. Sometimes theme weddings/events can be cheesy, but this works. The pop of turquoise color is great. Wonderful inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Wow these details are perfect! thanks!!!!!!!!! Lane
Everything in this is to die for!! Where can I find those peacock figurines??
Great job to all my friends! Thank you for making Las Vegas look good. Stunning work!!
The colors are amazing and the details are fantabulous. Love this so much....
One of the most gorgeous and unusual spreads in blue and brown. Most importantly you mention only faux fur for your purpose. You elevate the ethic as well as the aesthetic. Thank you!
I just want to say how utterly amazed I am! Chelsea Nicole and team, you guys did a FANTASTIC job turning my board into a reality!!!! EVERYTHING is STUNNING, from the flowers, to the dress, to the details, to the cakes, to the table decor! You all interpreted the board fantastically! Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing one of my boards!
So incredibly beautiful!! I love it! Your interpretation of Chiara's Inspiration Board is fabulous!! Well done!
Chiara, It was our pleasure!! Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful inspiration to work from. And thanks to this experience, I intend to do a lot more of these and other photo shoots. I had so much fun!!
Amazing work here. It's like watching a dream come to life...and as usual Chelsea Nicole's photography is just mind blowing.
All I can say is divine, exquisite, stunning. Love the little blue seat pillows.
Love it!!! Here are some peacock feather hair clips.

It is dependent on how you look at it and wherever you will be coming from on the subject really. In the long run attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm with you on this one.
