We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and took lots of pictures!
Speaking of photos… If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the images from our most recent photo shoot will speak volumes and inspire the most beautiful and breathtaking weddings!
For the 2013 edition of Spectacular Bride Magazine, we recently had the opportunity to team-up with fantastic local Las Vegas wedding vendors to showcase the latest fashion and décor trends for 2013. Everything from exquisite wedding gowns, stunning bouquets and décor, gorgeous hair and make up, unique invitations, and more will be displayed in our most ambitious photo shoot to date.
Six models, eight photographers, three florists, two invitation companies, three hair/makeup teams, rental and linen companies, 20 wedding gowns, three Bridal Spectacular teams… and a partridge in a pear tree… all came together to orchestrate three simultaneous photo shoots taken at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, The Springs Preserve and JW Marriott. Phew. I’m out of breath!
With these images we not only wanted to inspire brides-to-be with ideas for every type of Las Vegas wedding, but we also wanted to showcase the talented local vendors you have right in your own backyard. For the venues, we wanted to choose three very different and distinct locations to highlight the wide-array of wedding settings that are available here in Las Vegas.
The Smith Center for the Performing Arts
As the newest hotspot in the wedding arena, the venue’s striking art deco style creates an elegant and chic backdrop for both weddings and engagement photos. The Smith Center offers a variety of unique venue options for brides to choose from, including the magnificent Reynolds Hall, intimate Cabaret Jazz stage, versatile Troesh Studio Theater, and the beautiful outdoor Courtyard.
The Springs Preserve
This truly “green” botanical garden is a perfect choice for both large and small weddings. Boasting 180 acres of lush gardens, beautiful nature trails and exquisite gallery and museum spaces, the Springs Preserve offers a broad spectrum of breathtaking wedding and engagement photo locations.
JW Marriott
An already well-known player in the wedding industry, the 54-acre resort offers a number of alluring settings for weddings and engagement photos. The resort includes eight ceremony sites (one of which showcases a stunning waterfall) and seven reception spots, so brides with weddings of every size can mix and match the locations to create your perfect wedding.
Elegant, exquisite and alluring, this not only describes each of the breathtaking venues that will be highlighted in our 2013 edition of Spectacular Bride Magazine, but also all of the incredible and talented vendors we had the privilege to work with.
To see the complete photo shoot, be sure to pick up our next issue in January. For now, please enjoy a sneak-peak of what’s to come!
