Luxury wedding designer brings together industry elite, city officials to Las Vegas for exclusive event.

Las Vegas, NV – June 4, 2012 – Las Vegas, Nevada has long been the wedding capital of the world with an established chapel wedding industry, but has not yet “cracked the code” on the luxury wedding industry. On June 4th, 2012 at the unique MEET event center in downtown Las Vegas, luxury wedding and event designer Jerri Woolworth will be designing and producing an extravagant celebrity wedding industry event for the purpose of bringing the luxury wedding market to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas holds more weddings than any other US city, but has yet to be recognized as a premier destination for luxury and high-end weddings. “It’s really a shame that Las Vegas hasn’t seen the reception that cities like New York and San Francisco have seen to the luxury event market. Our city is a perfect destination for these kinds of events” says Arthur Keith, former General Manager of The Cosmopolitan hotel and casino.

Jerri Woolworth will bring author, style icon, and founder/executive editor of Wedding Style Magazine Grace Ormonde to Las Vegas for an private book signing to introduce Ms. Ormonde to the Las Vegas city leadership and wedding community, including members of the LVCVA and the Mayor’s office. Through this exclusive, invitation-only event, Jerri Woolworth looks to bring this extremely profitable market to her home of Las Vegas.

Where are you planning to have your honeymoon? What sort of things are important to you in selecting your honeymoon destination? We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments!

There is so much that goes into planning a wedding. Many Brides and Grooms can get flustered and end up making mistakes in the coordination process, mistakes that otherwise, in retrospect, could have been avoided. Here are some of my tips to help avoid making major wedding mistakes.

–Spending your entire style budget on just the dress: This is a mistake that happens more often than you think. Keep in mind Brides to be, that your allotted style budget will include your wedding dress, shoes, hair accessories or veil, and potentially jewelry too. So plan accordingly.

–Have a weather back up plan: If your wedding is planned for outdoors, think to have a back-up plan, just in case Mother Nature decides it’s a great day for a thunderstorm.

–Don’t go out of the ordinary the night before: The night before your wedding may just happen to be your bachelor or bachelorette, now while you may want to go wild, keep in mind that the day to follow is not going to be enjoyable with a hangover. Also, Brides to be, don’t pick the day before your wedding for any special beautification procedures you’ve never tried before. You never know what kind of reactions you will have, and you don’t want them to last forever the next day in your photos.

–Know your Master of Ceremonies: Be sure to be very comfortable with your Master of Ceremonies or Emcee. Communicate with them the tone of your wedding and the personality that you two have as a couple so that you are all on the same page.

–Becoming set on one particular flower: Before you get your mind dead set on one particular kind of flower, be sure to consult a florist. You want to make sure that the flower of your choice will be in season during the time of your wedding.

–Creating a realistic budget: Creating a wedding budget may be something that you have never done before. If that is the case, don’t worry; seek help from a skilled professional Wedding Designer. A Wedding Designer can help to assess the costs associated with your dream wedding from floral arrangements to bands.
