Lauren & Clay have been inseparable since their very first date. They lean on each other, trust each other, and complement each other so amazingly well! These Las Vegas Locals love camping & hiking, going to Golden Knights hockey games, and spending their time with their dogs and family. Lauren & Clay wanted a very personal way to celebrate with friends and family, which is the why they chose to have a Micro-Wedding at Cactus Joe’s Nursery.

Let’s Talk Micro-Wedding

Your guest list can help determine what type of wedding you are having! I would say, if you are looking under 50, you are probably in the micro-wedding category. So what does this look like? Does this mean you have to skip the traditional elements of a wedding? No first dances, no speeches, or cake cutting? The answer is absolutely not! Having a micro-wedding means you have more time for those things. Instead of making your way around to all the tables saying hello & thanks, you can spend that time getting on the dance floor with your people. You never have to skip out on those memories! Check out Lauren & Clay’s beautiful reception with all their fav people.
