A quirky rooftop elopement in Las Vegas (with special guest Chewbacca!)

A quirky rooftop elopement in Las Vegas (with special guest Chewbacca!)

Lynelle and Matt wanted something different for their rooftop elopement and they absolutely succeeded, as you’ll soon see. Chalk up the awesomeness to the American flag pants, killer gold sequin jacket, the skyline of old Vegas, and a tiny after-party in downtown Las Vegas. Oh, and there’s the whole matter of the Chewbacca officiant in a suit.

It’s weird, it’s ultra fun, it’s a little nerdy (for Star Wars day!), and it’s a whole lot of us falling over ourselves to see it. But there’s no waiting for you… time to see the sweet little rooftop elopement…

Marty and Isabel hail from Darwin, Australia and wanted an outdoor reception in the deserts of Las Vegas. They chose the stunning red hills backdrop of the Valley of Fire. The ceremony had some acoustic guitar and a really lovely floral backdrop that matched Isabel’s bouquet. They followed it up with custom cat and panda cookies (as well as a cake!). Then it was off to Vegas proper for some partying.

This pair had their desert boho wedding at The Historic 5th Street School, the school that the groom’s grandfather attended during The Great Depression. Don’t miss the wooden silhouette of Red Rock ceremony backdrop, the hand-sculpted cake toppers, Filipino meets Irish traditions, gorgeous party space, anime references, “President” and “VP” Flower girls, and really solid advice from the bride. This is a must-see.

Tasha and Martin live in Australia, but they trekked all the way out to Las Vegas for their rock ‘n’ roll Vegas destination wedding. Everyone headed to the oldest Tiki bar in Las Vegas, Frankie’s Tiki Room, a very cool, very dark, and intimate bar. The wedding was officiated by The King himself, naturally.

In the middle of the playa amid dust and love, Avni and Pavan rocked their most awesome outfits (a short white dress and white mehndi for her, a floral jacket and rad sunnies for him) to get married. This Indian wedding at Burning Man had an intimate feel despite it being at a hugh-jass festival of art and culture. If you’re not familiar with it, this archive will help.
