Cactus Joe's Wedding lookout ceremony. Bride and Groom standing with the officiant. Beautiful pampas and rose floral arch.

Ever heard of Cactus Joe’s? No!? It is one of the most unique little gardens and nurseries twenty-five minutes from The Strip. Not only is it the cutest garden, but an absolutely stunning and unique venue. With the mix of candles, pampas, and romance you cannot go wrong at Cactus Joe’s! I mean, look at this overlook! The views here are one of a kind. We Las Vegans are proud of our beautiful desert, and Cactus Joe’s captures that beauty perfectly. If you look closely at T & E floral arch display, it blends perfectly, making the walking cacti (Mojave yucca) look built into the floral display itself.

Mr. and Mrs. !!

It isn’t Vegas unless you have a cool car. I mean, check out this Cadillac. This car brings this whole wedding together. The grooms bowtie, the bride’s ring, and wait till you see them driving off into the sunset. You feel like you just finished the perfect ending of your favorite movie! Que the 80’s themed love song playing in the background!

The Reception

Isn’t the lighting spectacular? Those different style of candles across the reception table decor just brings this entire display together. The dark wood and chairs reflect and contrast perfectly with the sheer white table runner and white candles. T and E’s reception decor is welcoming and warm. But oh, so elegant all at the same time!

Outfit Change!

Look at how cute E’s reception dress is! The length, the converse, this girl is ready to rock out and party! Outfit changes are so much fun to have during the wedding. You, as a bride, can feel refreshed, and rejuvenated, and put on some comfy shoes to enjoy the rest of your night dancing your heart out with everyone you love dearly.
