New Year Bliss

New Year’s Eve plans can sometimes be hard to decide! Who do you ring the New Year in with? Where would you go on New Year’s Eve? What would you wear and how would you wear your makeup? Fancy this….have your wedding on New Year’s Eve and not only solve your New Year’s Eve dilemma but also for all your family and friends! Spending New Year’s Eve with everyone you love all in one location is the PERFECT way to start a New Year and a new chapter in your life! 

For this stylized shoot we focused on a small gathering of close family and friends. A hidden gem in Downtown South Bend is the wine cellar inside the Tapastrie. Located right beside the Morris Performing Arts Center, this location provides the perfect New Year’s Eve glam photos! Since the wine cellar is in the basement of the Tapastrie, you want to make sure that your photographer can capture the images you want with the low lighting or have ProShow provide the lighting for you! We got the perfect mix with the very talented Grace Pulver Photography combined with ProShow for lighting. The images speak for themselves!   

Aays Event Rentals went above and beyond our expectations with the design and décor for this styled shoot! With the black, white, gold and Merlot color scheme, it really tied in with the wine selection. And, let’s not forget about that donut wall that looked so scrumptious!  Aays Event Rental provided this elegant black donut wall showing a fun and beautiful way to incorporate donuts for a stunning event.  What a great way to add a little pizzazz to your wedding day!  

The floral arrangements during a wedding is made to stand out and enhance the décor. Snapdragon Designs did exactly that with this photo shoot! They used hydrangea, Playa Blanca roses, calla lilies, Oriental lilies, ranunculus, freesia, alstroemeria and carnations. 

 

Tapastrie knows how to please their guests not only with a wide selection of wine and cocktails but also with their scrumptious plates of food and dessert.  Tapas, cheese and charcuterie boards, paellas, and desserts all grace their menu. The perfect spot for a reception, shower, or event. 

Our beautiful models, Paris & Yul gave us that old Hollywood glamour! Paris looked absolutely stunning in a fit and flare gown provided by Blushing Bride on 17! The detailed bodice and satin skirt is the perfect fit for a New Year’s Eve themed wedding! Bethza Professional Makeup Artist Studio did Paris’s makeup. The gold eye shadow is a complete show stopper! Yul looked rather dapper in a black tux with a gold bow tie provided by Louie’s Tux Shop. This married couple is #weddinggoals!
