my mom bought her these shoes in the cream color that the dress is in. Accessory Style Marissa

Oooooh wedding ideas...

I would pick maybe 3-5 signature drinks to serve at the bar that way you can limit the alcohol you have to buy and definitely do fun drinks and give them personalized names after your sister and her hubby to be... Let me know if you want food ideas.

i was thinking of doing seven and seven's because they are my favorite. root beer floats, because they are my sisters favorite. long island ice tea's because they are her fiance and my husband's favorite. and cosmo's just because they are so popular right now and our families are alcoholics. and then i will get a keg.

yeah, i have no idea for the food. that is where my sister is really picky. she only eats turkey. she hates tomatos, cucumbers, and cellery. she is not a big fan of cheese either. so i have my work cut out for me there. her fiance on the other hand is the most laid back go with the flow guy. i guess he would have to be. i think i will make up something special for her and get easy food for everyone else.

Don't forget flowers! You probably won't need many, if any, for the ceremony, but keep them in mind for the reception and for the bride.

For food I was thinking you could do different appetizers and hor d'euvors maybe having them set up in different areas in the room (how many people are you thinking will be there for the reception?) Then also get a cake (of course). YOu should check the knot.com vegas board for any help knotties are pretty helpful. Here is the link

Awesome job! What a great sister you are - and a great friend you have at the Bellagio!

my mother in law and i are doing the cake. we took a bunch of classes for cake baking and all the fancy iceing over the summer and we made my brother in law's wedding cake.

for flowers, i am just getting a boutineer for mike and a bouquet for my sister. and mikes parents are paying for that. i just have to pick them out. they are going to be black heart roses. and mikes parents are going to pay for her hair appointment as well. and mike owns his own tux. so that is all taken care of.

there will be about 30-40 people at the reception. and since it will be in vegas, the reception shouldn't be much longer than a couple of hours. about 3 i think. then my sister, darby, wants to run around in her dress. she loves it when we go to vegas and she sees the brides gambling and at the bars in there dresses. we should have a lot of fun.
