Several wedding vendors local to Columbia, South Carolina, collaborated on this styled shoot with a blue and gold New Year’s Eve elopement theme. They worked together to design an event to provide inspiration for couples planning either their wedding or elopement on New Year’s Eve. They wanted to provide a unique twist on the tradition of an ‘All White Party,’ so they did a little brainstorming and settled on the idea of an ‘All Black Party!’

The couple was dressed in classy tuxes from the Black Tux (both in all black) and the rest of the decor included elements of gold and navy throughout the shoot to elevate the theme of an ‘All Black Party’ to vibe with the feelings of luxury and opulence that New Year’s Eve provides. There was even a gold foil on the dinner salads to ensure the meal matched the couple’s day.
