This post is dedicated to all of the small things from our Vegas ceremony and reception. These are some of the details—some smaller, some larger—that made the wedding truly ours.
We’ll start with how everything all started: my engagement ring.
That ring was soon joined by two more.
Other special jewelry made their appearances as well: my new monogrammed necklace, my grandmother’s pin, my bees, and Mr. Mole’s watch.
Our hotel suite provided such a lovely background for our other accessories as we got ready.
Our photographer also made sure to get a couple of shots of our invitations, favors, and programs.
Photos edited for privacy (uncommon maiden name!)
The suite did not provide the only beautiful backdrop of our day. The Wynn was also decorated for the Lunar New Year.
The Venetian/Pallazzo were equally stunning, especially in and around Bouchon Bakery.
The private dining room inside Bouchon was welcoming and warm.
Our guests showered us with good wishes and good luck.
The next morning we went home, married, full of love and with some pretty flowers.

Did you miss a Mole recap?
Your details look even more wonderful around such a gorgeous hotel!
Ohhh I love detail shots and you had such a great setting! Beautiful!
Such beautiful pictures! Your wedding looks fabulous! Such a perfect venue! *reconsiders a Vegas wedding…*
How beautiful! I love seeing your recaps. I kinda feel like you and Mr. Mole are like me and DH in an alternate universe (OK, a younger, much more fashionable universe) and I am massively envious of the Bouchon reception (until DH came along, my dream wedding was City Hall + renting out a restaurant… so of course we ended up with something very different!). All your details are so gorgeous, too.
Thanks everyone!
@FutureMrsDino: Seriously. Getting married in Vegas was the best wedding-related decision we made. (Besides deciding to get married to each other in the first place!)
@Frog E.: Aww, thank you so much! I do think that if we would have stayed in Chicago, we would have gotten married by a judge in a civil ceremony at the cultural center or city hall. I’d love to hear more about your wedding!
Mrs. Mole, Los Angeles/Las Vegas Age and Occupation: 29, Test Prep Instructor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, User Experience Architect Engagement Date: April 2011 Wedding Date: January 2012 Venue: Wynn Las Vegas/Bouchon Bistro About Me: I’m a Wisconsinite-turned-Angeleno who is planning a destination wedding in Las Vegas. I am passionate about education: I spent 23 (!) consecutive years in school, and now I work to help other people get into graduate programs. I love running on the treadmill, buying bath products from Lush, learning new moves in step aerobics, and exploring my neighborhood on foot. I am sometimes snobby about food, but I am rarely snobby about books. I read everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to Iris Murdoch to Chuck Klosterman to Candace Bushnell. My fiance and I are getting married on our third anniversary!
