Las Vegas weddings are some of our favourites, but its undeniable that a lot of them have the same aesthetic. Rare Hearts Studio wanted to create something with a different edge - a little darker, with nods to their Latino heritage. Their starting point was the Sacred Heart, reworked through a queer Latino lens and layered with lace, devotional imagery, blood red flowers and incredible cakes. The concept gave the team a way to draw upon their cultural background while creating something for couples who feel detached from the standard Vegas look.

Sahara and Montes met at a club around Halloween 2024. They barely spoke that first night, choosing instead to stand together and listen to the music as though they already knew each other. That shared taste in music inspired their wedding two years later. The wedding came together at serious speed. They booked their venue, Sahara bought her dress and they organised the remaining details just two weeks before the day!

Cleaning & Preserving Your Wedding Dress

Guest Contributor

September 16, 2026

After the wedding, a lot of dresses are shoved into the back of a cupboard without so much as a second thought. Whether you want to sell it, save it for your children, or even have it reworked to wear again, its really important to get it cleaned first. Even if it looks pretty clean, it probably isn’t. Sweat, sugar, alcohol, make-up, and dirt don’t always show up straight away, but they can cause discolouration and fabric damage over time. Times this by a thousand if your dress is white or ivory.

You’re going to have a wedding! Isn’t that the best thing ever? A whole day with everybody you adore, celebrating your beautiful love story. What could be more exciting and thrilling than that? For five years, I have written in this gorgeous magazine about how important it is to embrace this opportunity to have your day your way. I have sung from the rooftops about telling unsolicited opinions where to go. I have urged all rock ‘n’ roll brides to plan their weddings unapologetically. But, all along, I have never failed to add one teensy weensy caveat… Don’t be a dick about it.
