| My fiance and I are getting married in Las Vegas. He wants to just wear a suit and have me wear a regular dress or cocktail dress, but I'd like to do the tux and bridal dress thing. Hey, it's my wedding and I've been dreaming my whole life about my dress and how handsome my groom would be. How can I persuade him that we need to go formal? We're not having any guests, except the family watching on the video feed back home, but we are having pictures. |

| Just tell him your only planning on doing this once and you want it to be a day to remember not just another day in Vegas.If it means that much to you, he should want to make it special for you, do a little shopping, find out how much a tux and a nice dress would cost, and put it in front of him, show him your not talking a lot of extra money to make your special day extra special. |

| I personally think that an elegant full length dress is fine with a suit....just make sure he wears a nice tie and a corsarge. |

| Anything is acceptable, even swimsuits. If he loves you then a tux shouldn't be a problem. |

| Make a deal - do the big dress for the ceremony because you'll only get to do it once and then slip into a cute cocktail dress and go out on the town! It's not like he'll have to wear the tux for very long but at the same time you'll get your special moment to be "THE BRIDE!" |

Proper attire for any wedding, and especially a Vegas wedding, is really determined by WHO is getting married. I really really think that you should wear the dress of your dreams....and if you want your husband to be in a tux than he really should wish to please you and just wear it. Both my husbands wore tuxes for me  If he won't budge though you still need to wear the dress that feels right to you, don't regret this for the rest of your life and resent him every time you see the pics. |

| Sorry. but I am with your fiance on this. I think people who want to dress in something ridiculous for their weddings are three bricks short of a wall. Why don't you be sensible. You'll only make yourself a laughing stock. |

| I think you should reach a compromise on this. Especially since you've been dreaming about this since you were a little kid. How about you wear a somewhat formal dress (like a cocktail dress with extricate beading?) and he wears a tux. |

| Most of the chapel websites have photo galleries. Show him how nice some of the brides and grooms looked dressed up. Once he sees that many brides and grooms in Vegas do dress up, perhaps he will reconsider?And even if he does not, still get yourself a beautiful bridal gown. It is important to you, and you should have it. It is okay to wear a bridal gown, even if he wears a suit instead of a tux. |

| Hi and congratulations!I agree with Suz....all the venues have sites regarding weddings, so go on those and show them to your fiance. When I was in Vegas, I saw LOTS of brides/grooms and they all had gowns and tuxes on! Of course, it is totally up to you, but what are you doing after? Do you have a nice dinner planned? No reception? It does seem to be a waste of money to wear a gown for about 30 minutes....then that's it!You may want to compromise. Have him wear a nice suit and you in an informal gown! That way, you can go to a nice dinner after and not have to change! Good luck! |

| I´m an American married to a German, and I told my husband he could pick the location to marry, and I get to pick the honeymoon. We married in Las Vegas this past May and have been happy ever since.OK-I hope you´re marrying at Little Chapel of the Flowers-they are SUPER! We just got done watching our wedding video for about the 100th time and still smile and cry happy tears.OK-since I didn´t get the wedding I would have wanted-in a church in Chicago, I was still going to have the type of wedding I wanted. I wore a strapless, ivory colored dress with a really, really short train, and my husband wore a tux. My attendants wore a black cocktail dress that each of them had at home, or bought for the wedding, the best man wore a suit, and so did the other men that attended.I wore the dress a full length dress because I had a tea length dress picked out-really pretty-and then I overheard a mother in the shop say to another bride, "wear a full length dress...when are you ever going to be a bride again"? Well, I took the short dress off right away, shopped and picked out a long one, and am so happy I did. I would have been OK if my husband would have worn a suit, but he insisted on a tux, and the pictures look great.If you want, I will E-mail you pictures of our wedding, and you can show your fiance. We didn´t look silly---in fact, a lot of people asked us if they could have their pictures taken with us to show others how people get married in Vegas, and I saw a lot of other brides in long dresses there too.Hey, if you want, I can tell you how to have a small, very affordable time in Vegas-we did, and had money left over to buy a big screen TV. E-mail me directly at bloom12001@yahoo.com! |

| Vegas weddings can be anything you want to wear - and yes, it's your wedding - so wear what you want. You can wear a nice gown! If it's a smaller wedding, just make it less of a "big dress", maybe .I would suggest getting on the websites of some of the chapels and showing him some of the couples that have married there - many of the brides will be dressed to the hilt! I sure did when I married there in 98!Here's a community you can join for support- http://community.livejournal.com/vegasbrides/profileand a Chapel review site http://www.aboutvegasweddings.com/ |

| Well, I got married last August in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay (great place BTW). I wore a real cute, short white dress and a short veil and killer shoes. My MOH wore a black & white polka dot dress, and the mom's wore black & white. Our wedding was kinda rock & roll in sprit, I guess - it was "us". I didn't want a "big poofy dress", so a short dress suited me, but if I had my heart set on a huge dress with a train I'd have worn one. I looked at this site - http://www.sensuousbride.com/ but my Mom vetoed them as way too sexy for the day - she said my aunt's pacemaker might go off! |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
