Casino Couture Event

It's My Style Show

Casino Couture Event

Hitting the tables and gambling “Vegas-style” came with some perks on Friday, September 24, 2010. For once, I didn’t go broke. For two, I didn’t have to worry about being a sore loser. For three, I got a chance to spot some of Nashville’s best dressed. For four, the dessert/food + activities were amazing. Finally for fifth, it was all for a good cause.

That’s what drew me out to Casino Couture, the 1960’s Vegas-inspired event presented by the Nashville chapter of The Little Black Dress Club. The event benefitted The Mary Parrish Center.

The Mary Parrish Center is a unique residential program that provides access to an array of services for domestic/sexual violence victims and their children during dangerous and/or critical times in their lives.

The Little Black Dress Club transformed Gaylord Golf Springs into a Vegas-styled casino. Guests came in channeling their inner Audrey Hepburn and Chanel and enjoyed cocktails, food, a silent auction, poker, blackjacks, and roulette.

The event also included a presentation. The Mary Parrish Center thanked all of the guests for their attendance and support. There was also a silent auction that included items such as a Splinter Art of Frank Sinatra, a private cooking lesson with Executive Chef Chris Rains, a Peyton Manning autographed jersey, and Harrah’s Casino Package (for the casino lovers).



Overall, I really enjoyed the charity event. When we walked into the Golf Springs we were greeted with smiles as we were told about the night’s event and given our chips for the casino. I believe my favorite game of the night was the blackjack table where I seemed to have lost the majority of my time, but the thrill was definitely worth the time. I enjoyed mingling with the guests who were very social and open to showing off their Vegas-inspired looks for the night.

We also indulged in plenty of food from little chicken sandwiches to crab cakes, not to mention the delicious cakes, strawberries and chocolate, and more. The social scene at the event was one to remember. From excited winners at the casino tables, to networking, to dancing, it all kept the party going.


The event was wonderful and most importantly, it was for a great cause. Check out the photos from the Casino Couture.
