4121551785 4d94d515be m Ordained Minister Brings Vegas Flair to Themed Weddings in Arizona

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas anymore – at least not when it comes to the Vegas-style weddings officiated by Reverend Duane Williams through A Classic Wedding Legacy. After more than two decades of performing weddings in Nevada, this ordained Minister is now a Phoenix wedding Pastor and wedding planner bringing Vegas flair to themed Arizona weddings ranging from Western and Hawaiian, to Pirates and King Arthur’s Court.

“I performed weddings in every venue imaginable,” says Pastor Duane of his time in Vegas, including Red Rock National Park, the Grand Canyon, Harley Davidson Café, Madam Tussauds Wax Museum and “Star Trek” aboard the Enterprise. “I even performed the worlds’ first ‘Hot Tub’ wedding in a limousine which was featured in the National Enquirer.” Now this Arizona wedding Pastor is bringing the same sense of adventure and playfulness to the Phoenix wedding scene.

It’s here in Arizona that Pastor Duane opened A Classic Wedding Legacy, through which he offers themed wedding packages that include:

    * Traditional. Enter the bonds and unity of marriage in traditional tux and gown with “We are assembled here today in the presence of God and this company of witnesses now in attendance to celebrate the joining together of this man and this woman…”

    * Liturgical. In traditional tux and gown, have a Catholic, Orthodox or Historic Church wedding with “In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost… Let us pray…”

    * Western. Kick up your boots in Western attire to “Yee Haw! We are gathered here today to join this Cowgirl and this Cowboy to be wedded partners as they mosey down the love trail of matrimony…”

    * Hawaiian. In leis, sarongs and Hawaiian shirts, say Aloha to your wedding day with “Now that we are one, clouds won’t hide the sun, as blue skies of Hawaii smile on this our wedding day…”

    * King Arthur’s Court. In capes and crowns, give yourself the royal treatment “All hail Milord and Milady! Your romance is true, and your love is legendary in this land of Camelot…”

    * Harley Davidson. Kick-start your Harley (and your heart) with “We are here today to gas you up, get your motors runnin’, and put you in high gear so you can ride off into the sunset together as husband and wife…”

    * Pirates. Walk the plank together into uncharted waters with “ARRGH!!!   Ahoy Mateys, all hands on deck to eye this Buccaneer take this Lass to plunge into wedded bliss! Shiver me timbers mates, thee shall be wed this wedding day or me name is not Captain John Bligh!

    * Halloween. Pick your own costume theme for the bridal party with customized marriage ceremony words and vows to match.

As for location of your themed Arizona wedding, that’s completely up to you, though as your ordained Minister and wedding planner Pastor Duane can certainly help. He offers up his own meticulously landscaped backyard setting for up to 40 people, or he’ll come to you and perform your Phoenix wedding in a chapel, resort, hotel, residence, boat, hot air balloon or wherever your creative inspiration tells you to go. And no matter where that might be, this unique Arizona wedding Pastor is sure to show up in officiating attire to match your theme.

Yet as much fun and originality as Pastor Duane brings to every ceremony, it’s always in conjunction with a heartfelt passion for preserving the integrity of the bride and groom’s special day. He’s equally determined to make this kind of unique wedding experience accessible to anyone. “The best value we found anywhere,” said one bride. “Finally, someone that’s real,” said another.”

“Even though they are conducted millions of times around the world, your wedding event is a one time extraordinary happening in your world,” says Pastor Duane. “It is to your world that I am open for your invitation to participate in such an intimate and life changing affair.”

Rev. Duane Williams is the owner operator of A Classic Wedding Legacy. From 24 years of wedding phenomenon we know how to create a dynamic Arizona wedding setting that will impress you, your family and guests with romance, celebration, promises and pageantry.

Having a themed wedding provides for a unique wedding experience, one that you, your friends and family are sure to never forget. A themed wedding can also offer you a plethora of choices for your decisions, starting with themed wedding invitations. Let’s look at a few examples of themed wedding invitations.

Classic/Traditional Wedding

A classic / traditional wedding can also be viewed as a themed wedding! If you are thinking about going with an older style, you should choose invitations that match that idea. Beautifully scripted fonts on foil paper or cursive fonts on plain white paper stock with a textured border are both good examples of a classically themed wedding. You may also choose from a pink or purple so you can offset the more traditional white.

Everything is blooming roses

Flowers are a quintessential part of any wedding, and many couples choose roses as their wedding flower. Roses, along with calla lilies and daisies are the three most popular flower choices for weddings today. This common choice doesn’t have to be ordinary by any means. You may want to also think about taking your lilies, roses and daisies and putting them on your wedding invitations. Yes, this may be a common theme, but by choosing these beautiful wedding invitations, embossed, embellished or embedded in a beautiful color of card stock paper, they can provide you with the opening to a beauty inspired wedding.

Autumn weddings

Having an autumn wedding offers plenty of choices for themed wedding invitations. With beautiful and rich colors exploding in the fall, you can choose some of these impressive tones to accent your invitations. Colors of gold, dark red, browns and olive greens can offset each other beautifully. Couple these bold colors with seasonal aspects like leaves, trees, pine cones and the great outdoors and you have a beautiful wedding invitation.

Winter weddings

Winter wedding themes offer the unique clean aspect of crisp white coupled with icy blues. Snow, ice and frost may also be beautiful accents to your winter themed wedding invitations.

Your wedding destination

If you are hosting your wedding at a vacation destination, do not be afraid to use the destination as a theme for your invitations. If you are travelling somewhere warm and sunny for your wedding, use sandy beaches, sunshine and oceanic scenes to accent your invitations. Put together invites that provide a sneak peek at the rolling ocean encroaching on a sandy beach with the palm trees blowing in the warm breeze. Invite your guests to have some fun in the sun while celebrating your special day.

Western themes

Are you a western couple? Cowboy and cowgirl meet and ride off in the dusty sunset on a pair of magnificent horses? The couple is fully equipped with cowboy boots and hats. Use this theme in your wedding invitations to invite your friends to a western inspired wedding. Accents such as cowboy boots, cowboy and cowgirl silhouettes, spurs, cowboy hats and more can provide an interesting embellishment for your wedding invitation theme. Horses, corrals and ropes can also be used to accent your western theme.

Love is in the air

Of course, many couples are going to choose love as the underlying theme of their wedding. It makes perfect sense; their love for each other is what makes this wedding possible. Love as a theme does not have to be boring. The first thing most people think of when they think “love” is hearts. Heart themed wedding invitations can range from intricate scripted hearts to chunky pink hearts and everything in between. Hearts with flower petals embossed on a high quality paper stock will give you an interesting love-inspired themed wedding invitation.

Another choice for love-inspired invitations is interlocked rings. While this is common, it is no more ordinary than you are. Use interlocking rings as an accent in a deep shade of purple or blue to offset your other colors. This is where you can really get creative.

Your wedding should be your fairy tale romance, so choose something interesting like horse drawn carriages or a surprising castle for the background of your invitations.

Clip art of couples and wedding parties is also a standard in the wedding invitation industry. However, you can mix this up and make it unique to your own wedding by using your own silhouettes as the background for your invitation.

Make your invitation your own

Regardless of the theme of your wedding, you can create a unique, individual wedding invitation that couples the theme of your wedding with your own personal style. Even if the overall theme of your wedding is love or romance, take your own personal ideas of what this means to you and find an invitation that speaks from the heart. Hearts, flowers, rings, silhouettes and more can all be used to embellish your day.

Choose textures and layers

Even ‘standard’ wedding invitations can be embellished and really ‘pop’ when you add some texture to the paper. You can also try layers of different textures and physical embellishments. Ribbons, rings and paper trimmings can add depth to any wedding invitation.
