From Audrey…

Lisa Garcia helped us plan an after ceremony hour long cocktail and appetizer party for our guests while we took our family pictures. This was held in the same room as the pre-wedding cocktail party. For the reception we did a 5 course sit down dinner. I got the cake idea from a design I found on the Martha Stewart wedding website and actually appears in The Best of Martha Stewart Living Weddings book. I liked the design because it reminded me of the lace detail on my dress.  No DJ or band and dancing but that’s exactly what we wanted, a simple sit down dinner. Plus we figured in Vegas everyone could party it up after if they wanted. Although it seemed no one did after the long heavy meal!

The Wynn photographers, Joan Fuller, Director of Photographic Services, and Jennifer LaRocca were incredible and became our favorite part of the wedding! If any of your readers decide to have their wedding at the Wynn they must use these girls! Also, a quick thank you to Megan Lynch, the Assistant Wedding Consultant and the Videographers Ryan Arcoraci and Kwame Agyemang. Every part of the Wynn team made this wedding so special!

Thank you so much, Audrey!!! I had no doubt that you would pull off an absolutely gorgeous affair. Oh and check out Audrey’s Blog, Chic Girl Style when you have some time! More to come, stay tuned…

So, when out of nowhere, Audrey Wray contacted me…AND sent me pictures from her recent wedding, I literally swooned.

Okay, we really must talk about that dress. That ridiculously gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress. Have you ever seen anything quite as beautiful? Audrey is a complete fashionista (just check out her blog, Chic Girl Style, for more proof), so it’s no wonder she chose something so completely delicious to wear on her big day!

From the bride, Audrey…

My dress was Oscar de la Renta purchased from Saks Fifth Avenue. It has a light blue underlay, which took care of my “something blue,” and the lace detail is actually created from ribbons. My bridesmaids dresses (picture to come later today) was BCBG also found at Saks. My shoes were Christian Louboutin and I actually found them on BlueFly.com. I decided to keep my jewelry minimal since there was so much going on with the dress and the earrings I wore were actually CZ studs I found at Ann Taylor. I also had a six pence in my shoe and my Grandmother’s locket wrapped around my bouquet, an idea I got from Martha Stewart Wedding magazine.

Originally Brandon and I planned to have our wedding in Houston, but the vast amount of vendors to choose from overwhelmed me! Then we thought to have it in Ruston, Brandon’s small hometown in Louisiana, where everyone knows everyone. The planning would have been easier but we basically had to invite the whole city and that would just be too big! Brandon mentioned Vegas and with visions of dancing Elvises I said “we can’t get married in Vegas!” But then I thought about the Wynn Hotel. Brandon and I had stayed there when it first opened and it remained one of our favorite hotels. So we contacted AnnMarie Moccio, a wedding coordinator at the Wynn, and from speaking with her we learned that the they handle everything…the flowers, the food, the photography , everything! Perfect!

So much more to come!
