Las Vegas Weddings at the Mandalay Bay
By | May 17, 2011
If you are torn between wanting to get married in a tropical paradise and Las Vegas, look no further than the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas is a tropical themed resort complete with it’s own beach and tropical landscaping. This resort offers two charming wedding chapels which are located right next to an eleven acre tropical lagoon. If you want to get married at this location, their chapels have some reasonably priced packages. While some Las Vegas hotels have wedding chapels with packages that start at well over a thousand dollars, the Mandalay Bay’s least expensive package, the Crystal Waters package, costs around seven hundred dollars. This includes the chapel, a minister, a wedding bouquet for the bride and a boutonniere for the groom. Also included is a small photography package, bottle of champagne, and a pianist to perform at your ceremony. The pianist is a nice addition since many Las Vegas wedding locations only provide recorded music for the ceremony. This wedding package is only available on Sundays through Thursdays. The Mandalay Bay chapels also offers several other packages. The most deluxe package available, the Diamond Lights package, goes for about twenty six hundred dollars on Sundays through Thursdays and costs an additional hundred dollars on Fridays and Saturdays. This package includes flowers for not only the bride and groom but also for the maid of honor and best man. Also included is a larger photography package, a DVD recording of the wedding ceremony, a unity candle service, and the pianist will perform before and during the ceremony. The package also comes with a skin care package, bottle of champagne, fruit basket, a honeymoon suite, breakfast in bed, and a champagne dinner. The Mandalay Bay definitely provides a nice atmosphere for weddings. The tropical landscape and lagoon that they provide would certainly create a great backdrop for wedding pictures, and the packages are fairly reasonably priced. The chapels at Mandalay Bay certainly has a lot to offer couples who want to say “I do” in Las Vegas.

When people are trying to figure out what kind of a wedding cake that they want at their wedding reception, they sometimes do some research on what their favorite celebrities have had at their weddings. There are a lot of different options available out there for wedding cakes, and even if your favorite celebrity?s cake costs forty thousand dollars to make, this doesn?t mean that an experienced wedding cake maker can?t make a cheaper copy of it for you. Some of the most popular wedding cakes out there are pretty elaborate and expensive, but don?t get discouraged by these facts; there are many great caterers out there who will be able to design a great cake for your wedding. Donald Trump and Melania Knauss had an impressive five foot high, fifty pound, seven tiered orange and white wedding cake that had three thousand white icing roses on it. Obviously, not many people will want to be quite as elaborate as that with their wedding cake! Donald Trump was probably expected to go all out with everything in his wedding, and he has enough money to cover any costs, including his wedding cake. If you like the sound of his wedding cake though, you could probably scale it down to a regular size, and still be able to afford it. Hip hop artists Kalis and Nas had a five tiered wedding cake that was covered in sugar roses and gilded in twenty four karat gold! There aren?t too many people out there who would want to spend that kind of money on their wedding cake, or even on their whole wedding for that matter. Celebs Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis? wedding cake was a popular one. They had a four tier cake that was designed to look like four Tiffany?s boxes, all painted robin?s egg blue. The store must have appreciated the celebrity endorsement. The now split up couple, Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen had a multi flavored wedding cake that was quite popular. The cake had three layers: chocolate fudge, banana cream and white satin. This must have been appreciated by their wedding guests, because most people like at least one of those flavors. This kind of wedding cake would probably be the cheapest celebrity cake to replicate, and it would be very popular among your guests. Leanne Rimes and Dean Sheremat?s wedding cake was a five foot, multi tiered, white chocolate and strawberry cake that was decorated with over thirty five dozen roses. This cake was a very popular and much talked about cake, and would again, not be too hard to make, as long as you cut down on the size and the amount of the roses used! When Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro got married, they had a four tiered wedding cake that was layered with Oreo cheesecake, chocolate cake, and strawberry shortcake. It was decorated with the same crystals that Carmen had on her wedding dress. Any of these cakes can be the inspiration for your wedding cake, as long as you don?t mind compromising on a few things to make it more affordable. However, if you can afford it, go all out and spend the money to have one if these popular wedding cakes.

Cruise Ship Weddings
By | May 10, 2011
Getting married on a cruise is something every woman would enjoy. Somehow getting married on the ocean carries a romantic notion that appeals to almost everyone. It is a novel experience that is bound to be unique and enticing.
In the past few years, getting married on a cruise has become quite the rage. This is because wedding cruise packages are now available making it very affordable. Cruise ships have cashed in on this fact and are striving to provide all that is necessary for a perfectly romantic wedding on the sea.
Many cruise liners take care of all the arrangements for the wedding and the reception. All the bride and groom have to do is make an appearance on the big day. Most of the hassles of planning for “the big day” are taken care of and the bride and groom, family and friends can sit back and enjoy. The bride and groom would discuss their plans with a wedding planner provided by the liner. The planner takes care of all the details with minimum fuss.
An advantage of having a wedding on a cruise ship is that along with taking care of the whole wedding, the cruise ship will also drop the couple off at their honeymoon port later on. This saves time and money.
Different cruise liners are presently offering a number of packages that include everything for the perfect wedding, except clergy (the bride and groom have to bring their own).
Most weddings take place in a stateroom on the ship. This room would also be used for the reception. Some prefer to get married on a beach and then embark on their cruise. Still, many opt to getting married on board. However, in order for the wedding to be legal, it needs to be done while the ship is in port before leaving the dock.
Only one liner, The Grand Princess, has a wedding chapel and a clergyman on board that allows couples to get married before the ship leaves for the high seas. In the event the couple wishes to marry on the ocean, the captain of any cruise is authorized to preside over the ceremony. This is perfectly legal as long as the couple registers in the port the ship docks in.
Many cruises allow the wedding guests to come on board for the ceremony and get off after the ceremony so the couple can embark on their honeymoon alone. This is the best option as it is cost effective and a good alternative for wedding guests who do not wish to go along for the honeymoon.
