Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Parasols

Summer is almost over, so sad......but here in the mountains the sun is still going strong! Parasols are the perfect beautiful accessory to protect your skin from harsh rays while looking adorable at the same time. Whether you choose to rent a beautiful vintage parasol or purchase a new one in your wedding palette, it's a gorgeous and creative way to protect yourself & add a touch of vintage beauty at the same time!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Roses are Red...

Crisp and Bold - like a bright fresh apple! Try incorporating bright pops of crimson in your wedding decor to really brighten up the setting. Whether in the flowers, drinks, or your lips, red pops are gorgeous!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Muted Plums

Plums & Posies....Oh My! I love a muted color palette; it's soft, luxurious and doesn't overpower the bride's stunning white dress. A soft muted plum shade is also the perfect compliment to almost any skin tone - bonus!

The Idea Board | Beautiful Bouquet Wraps

One of the most beautiful parts of bridal decor can come in the form of the bridal bouquet. One way to make that single grouping of gorgeous buds even more unique would be to encase it in a beautiful fabric - like silk or lace! Try wrapping a gorgeous scarf or a bit of delicate lace around your bouquet to set it apart and dazzle your guests.

The Idea Board | Skinny Cocktails

Everyone loves to enjoy a cocktail - or six - at weddings, and Summer is wedding season so many of us will be attending more than one. A great way to keep your bod bikini (and bridal gown!) ready is to make sure you are sipping slim cocktails at all of your soirees. We have some great cocktail ideas from Everyday Health to make sure that all of your parties this Summer will be fun, healthy and lo-cal. Ask the bartender to make a few simple tweaks and you'll be sticking to your diet with ease. Click below for some great lower calorie twists on some of everyone's favorite classic cocktails!

Metals exude luxury and glamour by their very color and aesthetic. Try incorporating rich golds and bold silvers into your decor to elevate the design and bring a whole new level of luxury to your decor!

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Juice!

This week on Tahoe Unveiled we were enveloped with Spring Fever!! We also had a whole "bohemian" wedding theme going, which I just love! The Bohemian vibe is all about laid back glamour with rich colors and vibrant decor. We also got a dose of swoon with a fabulous real wedding that took place amongst the mountains on the valley floor of Squaw - Gorg!  

Since we're on this whole Springtime Bohemian vibe this week I've decided to cap this lovely week off with a beautiful inspiration from one of our very own wedding planning vendors, One Fine Day Events! This lovely inspirational shoot...click here to read the rest of the article!

Fab Find | Luscious Lips

After that one unforgettable kiss and many cocktails, your beautiful smile may be fading with the setting sun. Try using a long-lasting lipstick for your big day so you won't be re-applying lipstick when you should be busting moves on the dance floor! We like L'Oreal Paris Infallbile Le Rouge, which will stay put for up to 10 hours...problem solved!
