For this stylized shoot, AAYS Event Rentals, Poppies and Four Winds Casino South Bend collaborated and designed a classic, fun and retro casino stylized shoot to inspire any bride-to-be.

Our bride, Jena, looked stunning in her gown from Simply Yours Bridal. The front of the gown looked so classy and elegant, but the back of the gown was the showstopper! The lace trimming and the buttons cascading down to the end of the train of the dress were breathtaking! 

Her makeup, created by Allee Makeup, looked fresh and feminine. The light pink blush and lips added a subtle touch to Jena’s smokey eyes. Her hair, done by Wild Rose Hair Artistry, looked incredibly elegant. It embraced the casino glam we were looking for!

AAYS Event Rentals drew inspiration from retro casino weddings, adding an elegant and modern twist. The black and white color scheme, accented with copper, perfectly complemented the floral arrangements designed by Poppies. The tablescape exuded romance, with candles lining the aisle and surrounding the tables, creating an intimate and picturesque ambiance throughout the room.

Poppies created a stunning floral design for our retro casino-styled shoot, featuring a luxurious blend of white phalaenopsis orchids, toffee and shimmer roses, copper Fuji mums, and white lisianthus. They added texture and depth with white hydrangeas, copper ruscus, Queen Anne’s lace, white larkspur, magnolia leaves, and dried lunaria, perfectly capturing the shoot’s elegant and modern aesthetic. The result was a breathtaking arrangement that elevated the entire setting.

You can never go wrong when you order your cake from Sweet-Em’s Cake Shoppe. We loved the classic all white cake for this stylized shoot. The beaded and textured tiers, along with some simple floral from Poppies, was the perfect touch. 

The groom, Tyler, looked incredibly dapper in his classic black and white tux with a bow tie from Louie’s Tux Shop. We couldn’t choose between the white or black jacket, so we showcased both—and we’re so glad we did! After all, outfit changes aren’t just for the bride!
