The Best Las Vegas Wedding Themes Of 2022

·

While the appeal of getting hitched in Vegas revolves around the spontaneity of it all, it won't hurt to do a little bit of planning. After all, you can't just walk into a chapel and tie the knot right then and there. There is a lot more to it than what movies and TV shows let on. So, no, don't let The Hangover give you false expectations.

Nevertheless, Las Vegas is the place for quick and easy weddings. The "rules" that society has over weddings are more relaxed in the City of Sin. Extravagant weddings are uncommon; couples who decide to elope in a Las Vegas wedding chapel don't spend months or years planning their ceremony--and that's the beauty of it! It's what makes Las Vegas weddings much more fun than your traditional affair.

That said, it's no surprise that couples opt for themed weddings when getting hitched near the Las Vegas strip. But these aren't your typical wedding themes. Instead of "rustic" or "vintage" or "Bohemian", Las Vegas weddings tend to be more creative, more whimsical, and--sometimes-- a bit silly.

The Best Themed Weddings in Las Vegas

If you plan to elope with your soon-to-be-spouse in Las Vegas, here are some of the best Las Vegas wedding themes you can choose from:

Elvis

Getting married while the King of Rock n' Roll serenades you in the backyard just screams 'Las Vegas'. Almost every Las Vegas wedding planner offers an Elvis wedding package. Why? Because it's just so popular. Although the King is long gone (or is he?), the power of Presley lives on in the beauty of elopement.

If you want to get married where the first Elvis-themed wedding was held, book a slot at the famous Graceland wedding chapel.

James Bond

If you want something a little more stylish, book a Bond-themed wedding. Tie the knot with James Bond himself officiating the ceremony, and have your guests dressed in true Bond film fashion.

Dracula

A spooky wedding is a memorable wedding. Plan a Dracula-themed ceremony in Las Vegas and get married in fun vampire costumes. If you spill a little red wine on your dress, that's ok -  just pretend it's blood.

Neon

The Neon Museum houses the most prized, world-famous neon signs of Las Vegas. Tie the knot with your partner amidst vibrant colors and book a neon museum wedding today. The museum is ten minutes away from the Las Vegas strip; perfect if you want to go straight to partying after the ceremony.

Mobster

Embody the true meaning of Sin City with a mobster-themed wedding. Have your guests dress up in typical gangster outfits (minus the weapons!), distribute Fedora hats, and get The Godfather to officiate your wedding--complete with the accent!

Slashers

Are you and your spouse-to-be slasher fans? Invite Freddy Kreuger, Jason Vorhees, Hellraiser, and other horror greats to your wedding. Or better yet--dress up as your favorite slashers! To make the ceremony more fun, replace the bridal music with the classic theme song of your favorite slasher film (cue the classic Halloween tune).

Gladiator

The Gladiator theme is one of the best themed weddings that might be unique to Las Vegas. This theatrical wedding theme involves Greek-inspired costumes, a gladiator minister, and maybe even a dramatic reenactment of the climax from Gladiator during the reception.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

An MCU Las Vegas wedding is the total dream for Marvel fans. Just picture it: everyone dresses up as MCU characters, you get to choose your favorite hero as the officiant, and you can share your first kiss as a married couple with the iconic Avengers theme song playing in the background.

Downtown Las Vegas

What better way to experience authentic Viva Las Vegas vibes than by getting hitched in downtown Vegas? Capture memories in front of Las Vegas Strip hotspots, old casinos, cool art murals, and even grungy alleys for that true Vegas feel. Interested? Check out this downtown Las Vegas wedding package.

The Hangover

The Hangover movie rose to popularity thanks to its exaggerated portrayals of "what happens in Vegas". Today, it's one of the most popular themed weddings out there. Dress up as the cast of the movie, tell your photographer to take Hangover-esque pictures (hint: with flash), and don't forget the Jagermeister!

Phantom of the Opera

If you want to turn your Las Vegas wedding into a musical, plan a Phantom of the Opera-themed wedding. To make the event a success, your organist will need to be able to play the main score perfectly. And, of course, the Phantom himself has to be there.

Michael Jackson

There is no shortage of Michael Jackson impersonators in Las Vegas. That said, you won't have a hard time trying to find a Thriller-themed wedding package in any of the Las Vegas wedding chapels in the neighborhood. Play the King of Pop's hits, rent a fog machine, and if you have more than a handful of guests--why not dance the Thriller choreography during the reception?

Old Hollywood

The Old Hollywood-themed wedding revolves around styles and influences from the 1910s to the 1960s. Think bold red lipstick, flashy dresses, classic updos, and classic black suits. If you want the true celebrity vibe, consider booking your wedding at the Graceland wedding chapel where a lot of other celebrity weddings were held. It's one of the best places to elope in Las Vegas.

Zombie Apocalypse

Take "'til death do us part" to a whole new level with a zombie-themed wedding package. Turn your Las Vegas wedding chapel into a scene from the apocalypse, serve "brains" for dinner, and dress up as mindless zombies that were about to attend a wedding when the outbreak began. This is one of the most fun themed weddings you can have--and perhaps even the easiest to pull off.

Western

A Western-themed wedding but make it an adventure wedding package--this is what a Las Vegas desert wedding can help you accomplish. Instead of holding your ceremony indoors, go out into one of the beautiful deserts in Las Vegas and get married like you're in a good ol' American western.

What You Need to Do Before Eloping in Las Vegas

As tempting as it may be, resist the urge to fly out to Las Vegas without a plan. Before you start choosing from our list of wedding packages, here's what you need to do before eloping in the City of Sin.

Draw up a plan

Although eloping in Las Vegas doesn't usually require a ton of preparation, it helps to have a plan in mind. Here are the questions you should answer before you can start saying 'Viva Las Vegas':

  • Where will we get married?
  • When will we get married?
  • How many guests are we inviting?
  • Who will be the officiant? The photographer? The musician?
  • What vendors do we need?
  • What kind of theme do we want?
  • How much do we plan to spend?

Here is more information on how to plan a Las Vegas wedding, discussed in-depth.

Know the laws

If you plan to get hitched in Sin City, you need to be aware of the Las Vegas marriage laws. Look up the legal age of consent, marriage license rules, whether you can remarry in Las Vegas, and other relevant restrictions.
