A Las Vegas wedding has few limitations. In this city any request, big or small, can be met. Whether you envision a glitzy ball gown-clad celebration, an intimate family affair or even a rustic desert elopement, the experts in Las Vegas can help you bring any dream to life.
When it comes to your wedding, we're firm believers that what you wear to get hitched should be a natural extension of your style. (Just a little bit fancier than your everyday clothes, obviously.) Choosing a wedding dress-or even a jumpsuit!-that you feel truly comfortable in is the key to unleashing your inner bride.
From picking out your gown to ordering invitations, you've probably logged countless hours creating your wedding vision. Now you have another tough call to make: what your crew will wear down the aisle. After all, your bridesmaids aren't one size fits all, so why should their wedding day duds be?

All he has to do is answer a few fun questions about his personal style (and your wedding) to reveal his ideal wedding day suit or tux from Men's Wearhouse.

The average price tag of getting married-which jumped to $29,166 in 2016-might have you thinking, "I don't." But before you run off and elope instead, remember that it's possible to have a dream day no matter what you have to spend.

Baby may not be able to walk or talk yet, but there's a whole lot of personality packed into that little body. Maybe he's a wild one, fearlessly exploring his surroundings at every turn. Or maybe she's a music lover, bopping her head along to every song on the radio.
