Viva Las Vegas Wedding

VIVA LAS VEGAS WEDDING

BY NIKI PAPANICOLA AND ANTHEA STEVANOVIC - DAZZLED EVENTS AND STYLING PHOTOS BY ZOOM IN WITH EDEN

This styled shoot is part of Confetti Fair's United States of Party collaboration; a collection of 23 unique parties and events – all inspired by a US location.

A nuptial celebration in the wedding capital of the world calls for a laid back yet fun affair with a touch of glitz, glam, and lots of lights!

What inspired you to choose Las Vegas?

We were inspired by the notion of a Vegas wedding! The idea behind the shoot was to showcase different elements of a Vegas celebration.

What influenced the theme and styling?

We wanted it to be a sophisticated affair, we loved the thought of old Vegas think glitz and glam but with a modern twist.

The idea was to showcase black and red throughout the styling representing the colours of a deck of cards. We decided to feature the classic red rose, touches of crystal but with modern elements like black plates for the table setting.

A Vegas wedding should be a fun, laid back yet sophisticated affair so we wanted to showcase our couple trying their luck at a table game and having fun in general whilst highlighting the different elements of their day. The elements we chose to highlight were the mirrored welcome sign which is seen at the entrance to the venue, the mesh backdrop with neon sign which we used as a backdrop to their vows and also as a backdrop to a photo booth, the signing table, the acrylic wishing well, the table setting with two different centrepieces and last but not least the cake and cake table.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

We incorporated two current trends, firstly the neon sign which everyone is using for their events at the moment and also with the tablescapes we incorporated vintage crystal with the modern black plates which we are seeing more and more for weddings and engagements.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

Our favourite thing about the USA is that it’s so diverse! Because of its size each state or even city has its own culture and way of life which is fascinating. Having travelled a fair bit in th e US it was amazing to see how dif ferent each place is and immerse ourselves in the culture and their way of life. Vegas is up there as one of our favourite places in the US. Ther e are so many things to do and see there, it is truly an awesome experience.
