My bouquet

This is my bouquet... this is my second one. I ripped my first one apart and started over so I could put some green in it.

These are my bridesmaids and my bouquet.

Transportation

Picture
In Vegas limos are almost cheaper than taxis so the girls and I will be picked up at our hotel and taken to Lakeside weddings and then back to the Luxor with the guys after. After figuring out how many people would be riding I decided we didnt need the SUV. So I got a super strech limo that holds 10 people from Lucky Limos.

Our Car

Picture
So we decided it would be best to rent a car while there since we will have some running around to do. The guys will also be taking this to the wedding and my parents driving it back to our suite after. 

Luxor Hotel

Picture
We will be staying at the Luxor in their 1 bedroom luxury suite. After the wedding we will head back to our room for a small reception, drinks and cupcakes and then head out on the town! The suite is 800 square feet so it should be plenty big enough to have a little party.

Cupcake Wedding Cake

Picture
One of my friends that lives in Vegas highly recommended her friend that makes wedding cakes to do my cupcakes. So she will be making our cupcakes for the wedding! I cant wait, I gave her some pictures of cupcakes I like but I am letting her do whatever she would like to them. I am soooo excited and cant wait to see how they will turn out!After emailing the baker I think she is going to fill the cupcakes with frosting and do a fondant frosting on top. So they will look really pretty but will taste amazing too!!!

This picture is the test run she did for our cupcakes! Everything is edible... even the jewel!!!  And she is making the bottom frosting (a brighter pink)!



Cupcake Flowers

Picture
These are the flowers for the top of the cupcakes, there will also be pink flowers with yellow centers too.. 

Drinks

Picture
We didnt want a strong or heavy drink to go with the cupcakes, so we thought the best pair would be a Wine Spritzer. And we will have beer for the guys who arent a big fan or wines.

Cupcake Tree

Picture
I ordered the Cupcake Tree from ebay and paid $20 for it, it will hold approximately 40 cupcakes and is made of cardboard. This is light weight and will be easy to pack in my suitcase and take on the plane. The other thing I like is they give you ideas of how to customize and decorate it. Since the cupcakes will be pink and green I think the stand will be decorated in mostly black with a few pink and green accents.

Not sure I will be taking the tree with us... after decorating it I am not sure it will be able to with stand the plane and going in my luggage. I might buy another stand and send it with some family who are driving down to Vegas.
