No matter where you decide to get married—with us here at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel in Sin City, or in Maui, The Bahamas or your momma’s backyard—your nuptials are your own. They represent you and your fiancé’ and the one-of-a-kind pairing that your marriage will create. That means that your actual wedding should not be ho-hum or average. You don’t need the same flowers as your best friend had or the same cake knives that some famous starlet used—you need something that sets your wedding apart as uniquely your union does. Here are ten easy and popular ways to set your Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel wedding apart from the crowd:

1. Make it two parts Las Vegas Wedding Chapel and three parts you: The best way to set your wedding apart is to let it be about you. Your wedding doesn’t need to be about what your mom wants or what your fiancé’s grandfather thinks is appropriate and it doesn’t have to match the universally accepted “dos” of a wedding book; it has to be about you, your fiancé and all the things you love about each other.
2. Include family traditions: Adding family traditions into your Las Vegas Wedding Chapel ceremony and reception is a great way to personalize your wedding and appropriately represent the joining of two families. Let us know what you want and we’ll help!
3. Use music you can dance to: Who says you have to walk down the aisle to the Wedding March? Maybe you like to dance to the beat of a different drummer. Don’t be afraid to incorporate any music you love into your ceremony.
4. Flowers, shmowers: Bouquets don’t have to be made out of flowers. You can make them out of fruit, candy, toys, tissue paper, tools—anything that more adequately represents you and your fiancé. Of course, if your heart is set on the traditional, our floral shop offers a wide variety of bridal bouquets and decorations ranging from the merely gorgeous to the gorgeous and exotic.
5. Décor galore: Like bouquets, your Las Vegas Wedding Chapel décor does not have to consist merely of ribbons, tulle and bows. You can use dramatic textiles, unexpected accents and even stage props—if that’s your thing. At Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, all of our themed weddings include authentic décor.
6. Find the right costume: Just because everyone else wears a traditional wedding dress and tuxedo for their ceremony doesn’t mean you have to. You can wear the costume of one of your favorite television show characters, a work uniform if you both met at work, or any other ensemble that makes you feel good and looks good in pictures. If you’re having your themed wedding at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, you can rent your princess gown, flapper dress, or Blue Hawaii flowered shirt at our costume shop.
7. Choose the right time of the night: There may be a certain time of day or night that is more meaningful to you and your fiancé than the traditional hours people get married. The Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is open extended hours so we can help you tie the knot when you want to.  We are open Sunday through Thursday from 9a.m. to 9p.m. and 9a.m. to 10p.m. Friday and Saturday. Don’t just choose any time of day to exchange vows—make it your time of day.
8. The hair’s the thing: There is no right or wrong way to wear your hair for your wedding. There is also no right or wrong color. Coordinate your hair to your outfit, your wedding colors or theme.
9. A theme ties the wedding together: A bride in white makes for a traditional, elegant wedding, but if you’ve already done the long white gown thing, or simply want something a little different, we’ll throw a themed wedding for you. Be serenaded by Elvis in our popular Las Vegas Wedding, prowl the Italian underworld as a gangster and his moll, or sing along with sea shanties at your very own pirate wedding!
10. Show that elegance is not a forgotten art: But what about elegance and simplicity? At the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, we have both indoor and outdoor locations that create a simple, elegant and sophisticated environment for your ceremony and reception. Add in your own choice of music and dress and you will have a uniquely chic experience.

So don’t let societal or family traditions limit your wedding planning. Create a ceremony and reception that you and your fiancé will cherish and remember forever.
