Las Vegas is famous for many things. Not last on the list is the summer heat. But the truth is, while temperatures are often over 100 degrees during a 2-3 month period in the summer, our springtime, late summer, and fall are absolutely gorgeous. And with wonderfully warm evenings in which to enjoy the outdoors, the city of Las Vegas has some of the most picturesque poolside event venues in the country.
The Summer of ’09 is coming to a close, and now we’re on the way to what promises to be a lovely autumn. I feel it’s the perfect time to share some favorite patio and poolside events. Over the next couple of weeks, we will feature some scrumptious settings, scattered throughout an exquisite collection of outdoor venues in Las Vegas.
Outside at the stunning Four Seasons Las Vegas, a quaint, meandering pathway connects the Fountain Terrace wedding site with a glistening pool. Hand-carved, faux-wooden arches, airroot clusters, Buddha heads, and lots of glass-encased pillar candles were used to create a feeling of nirvana for guests to enjoy as they proceeded from one area to the next. Swank washed hues of amber over the treatment.
Gold satin along with bountiful clusters of blood red roses & hanging amaranthus added drama to this chuppah on the Four Seasons Fountain Terrace. Chameleon chairs were covered in lily-belle gold chiffon covers custom-made by Wildflower Linens. Stagehouse built our custom, high-gloss, golden aisle runner. Note the illuminated wax spheres behind the chuppah. These were placed on existing pedestals within the fountain, adding a warm, ambient candlelit glow.
A comfortable lounge environment was created with suede ottomans, a newly-designed 8’ long coffee table, and Envel acrylic & steel panels. This setting was specifically designed for guests to feel calm and serene as the evening breeze softly brushes away the hustled pace of the foregone day.
Large, illuminated orbs created a sense of drama as they reflected into one of several popular pools at the MGM Grand Resort. Taylor Creative’s roto-molded spheres are a favorite design element due to the fact that they are operate with battery operated LED’s that are controlled by remote.
A multi-tiered truss stage platform built by MGM Grand Productions helped create a poolside ultra-lounge complete with dancers and performers…
…including an aerialist suspended by a crane, hoisted over the hotel!
More pool parties to come next week!
