DAYS BEFORE
THE BIG DAYÉ
In 2015, more marriage licenses were
issued in Clark County than anywhere
else in the country, thanks, in part, to
the enduring tradition of the Vegas-
style shotgun wedding.
The Venue: Downtown's Chapel
of the Flowers offers pre-wedding
limousine transportation to and
from the courthouse to obtain your
marriage license (littlechapel.com),
but if you're in the market for some-
thing more sophisticated, the team
behind IPEC can mobilize within
48 hours (ipeclv.com). The Dress:
Outfit your entire bridal party at
Celebrations Bridal & Fashion in
Spring Valley (celebrationslvnv.com),
or discover a selection of short-term
options by Badgley Mischka,
Marchesa, and more at the
Cosmopolitan's Rent the Runway
boutique (renttherunway.com). The
Tux: Snag suiting, accessories, and
footwear from Suitsupply at the
Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian
and Palazzo (suitsupply.com). The
Flowers: A Garden Floral at the
Tropicana boasts next-day delivery
on bridal bouquets assembled
by a former head of Bellagio's
horticultural department (agarden
floral.com). The Rings: Head to
the Shops at Crystals for a Tiffany &
Co. boutique with its own proposal
balcony (tiffany.com). The Cake:
Freed's Bakery is a locals' favorite
for last-minute treats (freedsbakery
.com), while Sprinkles at the Linq
serves unconventional "cakes"
made from tiered cupcakes
(sprinkles.com). The Hair and
Makeup: Janine Cali and LaVey
Kindred-Ortiz of Your Beauty Call
are godsends for brides in need of
eleventh-hour touch-ups (yourbeauty
call.com). Don't Forget: Grab a
marriage license from the county's
Marriage License Bureau—open
seven days a week from 8
AM until
midnight—prior to your ceremony
(clarkcountynv.gov)!
