Las Vegas Wedding at Reflection Bay

By The Perfect Palette - September 14, 2020 -

Reflection Bay Golf Club is one of the most high-end and chic wedding venues in Las Vegas for a reason. It is easily on par with nearby luxury venues such as Bears Best, Red Rock Country Club Weddings, and Wedgewood — making it one of the best Wedding Venues in Las Vegas.

With the ceremony backdrop being the beautiful lake with its perfectly manicured landscaping — it truly is the ideal place to get married. Architecturally, the venue is Italian inspired with charming archways, lush greenery, and stunning scenery. Captured beautifully by Alycia Moore Photography, today's real wedding is a total must-see!

From Alycia Moore Photography, "I've documented over 30 Las Vegas weddings now and I can say with certainty that Reflection Bay is one of my favorite venues in Vegas."

Wedding Invitations and Save the Dates from Shutterfly truly set the tone for their beautiful day.

More from the photographer, "For your ceremony, the backdrop is the lake and you can hear the palm trees rustling in the wind while saying your nuptials. To the right is the manmade beach which is a fantastic spot for couples portraits after the ceremony is done."

"Cristiana and Tyler had a short and sweet ceremony where they included some very special cultural touches from Cristiana’s Hawaiian and Korean roots. To pay homage to her Hawaiian roots they partook in a lei ceremony where Cristiana’s father gave them both leis."

"It was Cristiana’s fathers way of accepting the marriage, and the gift of a lei to Tyler was a symbol of welcoming him to the family. You’ll also note that Tyler wore Hawaiin Kukui Nut Leis the entire day (The beautiful mahogany beads)."

"Kukui necklaces are traditionally given in an exchange of vows by the couple to be wed. Symbolically, the “two lights of two spirits intermingle” to become one in a holy union."

"Next, to honor Cristiana’s Korean heritage he gifted a pair of wooden mandarin ducks to her mother. When the custom first began, it was common to gift the brides’ parents with two live mandarin ducks. Personally, I’m glad that the tradition changed to wooden ducks instead!"

"The symbolized meaning behind the mandarin ducks is because they symbolize 신의 (fidelity), 사랑 (love), 평화 (peace), and 자손 (offspring). Ducks mate for life and are monogamous creatures and it is a testament to the bride’s family that he will be forever faithful to his new wife."

"Tyler treated this custom with the utmost level of respect by also bowing repeatedly while gifting her mother with the gifts. In Korea (And a lot of countries throughout Asia) the deepness of your bow symbolizes how much you respect the person and Tyler bowed a total of 6 times to the delight of Cristiana’s mother."

After the gift exchanges of the leis and wooden ducks, they had a short and sweet ceremony of ring exchanges and then had their first kiss as husband and wife."

"Following the sunset couples photos, it was time for all the evening festivities! The reception hall was decorated stunningly."

"From the peach and pink topped white wedding cake adorned with beautiful texture to the cute dessert table, it was perfect. There was so much attention to the detail in the design of the day."
