and the Little Church of the West.
Then there are the other, less dramatic Las Vegas weddings to consider.
These outdoor venues may offer gazebos with their desert falls and
garden areas. They may also feature patios and elegant waterfalls
for the ceremony and reception. In addition, they may offer onsite
flower shops and photography studios.
An outdoor wedding in Las Vegas is romantic and equally exhilarating
only if you plan it carefully. So, here are some tips on planning
a successful outdoor Las Vegas wedding.
The Weather
Since the event is outside, the weather is the first thing you
will want to consider. Las Vegas is known for its sunny weather
with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year amidst the backdrop
of a lush environment of green, which enthralls both couples and
guests.
During summer days, Nevada can be very hot, reaching 110 degrees
Fahrenheit in June, July and August. It is wise to avoid the heat
of the sun by planning a Las Vegas weddings during these months
early in the morning to avoid the heat of mid day.
An ideal place for a Las Vegas wedding during the summer is up
on Mount Charleston, which is less than a hour's drive from the
bright lights of the city. Summer temperatures there are usually
in the 80's and the scenery on the mountain is breathtaking.
Las Vegas weddings may be subject to sizzling summer heat, but
the same place can be very cold during winter season. Because it
is the desert, many people think Las Vegas is warm all winter long.
This is not the case. The city is located in the Mojave Desert and
is at an elevation of about 2100 feet so it can and does sometimes
get cold in the winter.
Back Up Plan
It is always safe to have a back up plan in every event we plan.
Ask and find out what contingency measures the wedding authorities
have in case the weather does not cooperate on the day of the event.
You should always have alternative options, and in addition, have
a back up budget as well. Indoor Las Vegas weddings are always an
option to avoid uncertainties.
Location
Las Vegas is synonymous for weddings, casinos and entertainment.
The city has been specializing in these activities for a number
of years, and as a result of massive tourism, the city has developed
itself into a more suitable and meaningful wedding spot that will
meet many couple's expectations.
Las Vegas weddings wedding have much more to offer than just the
cheesiness factor. From golf courses to gardens and lakeside locales,
Las Vegas has more breathtaking outdoor wedding locations than you
would expect to find in the middle of the desert.
