How did our featured newlyweds Kaylynn & Bill meet and fall in love? Want to hear a really fantastic surprise birthday trip proposal? Why get married in Las Vegas? How did they start the wedding planning process from Seattle and discover that they needed help? Kaylynn had a specific vision for her wedding and toured many hotels and locations they considered for their wedding. She knew she wanted a coordinator in charge of the many details of the day and she lucked out finding and hiring Tracey Kumer-Moore of Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge. Connecting with your wedding planner is important and priceless. The groom totally agrees that a planner is an advocate for your interests with your vendors and they take care of things you probably have not thought about. They worked with wonderful wedding professionals selected from many of Tracey’s references. Kaylynn and Bill realized throughout their 10 month engagement that Tracey helped lessen the overwhelming stress and we all know how much that matters!

Their September wedding took place at the Wynn Las Vegas. They wanted an intimate evening with friends and family to celebrate their union. Were things planned for their guests for the weekend? Kaylynn talks about finding her dream Lazaro wedding gown at a beautiful boutique in Seattle that coincidentally all of the women in her family had gotten their gowns. Kaylynn knew her look was perfect. She describes it as Timeless + Glitzy = Las Vegas Romantic. Hear how they made their twilight ceremony meaningful. Are you thinking of having a half-time wardrobe change? Kaylynn changes into an Alice + Olivia cocktail dress – what fun!

Their vision was achieved via the décor. They wanted an elegant setting so they set up a few lounge spaces, used the outdoor patio, and was surrounded by lots of candles and flowers. Uplights and white chiffon fabric and votives were utilized in the LaTache ballroom. They had a band and DJ with a really cool black dance floor. Learn about their photographer and the shots Kaylynn & Bill really wanted to capture the energy & life of the party. Bill was in charge of food and booze. No traditional sit down dinner for them. No seating charts. Helen from the Wynn helped design creative menu elements for their cocktail party even though they didn’t eat much of the food. Sound familiar?

Kaylynn suggests all couples should do something magical right after the ceremony. Can you guess what she is referring to? Listen and find out. What were their most memorable & favorite moments about the wedding? What was the best money ever spent? Their motto was to have fun and enjoy themselves. Their guests are still raving about their fabulous Vegas wedding at the Wynn. This Newlywedcast is inspiring and full of love.
