In case you missed it, here's what happened on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled this week! Our blog posts were filled with sailing and sea-worthy inspiration. From stripes to yachts, marrying on or by the water is the way to go! Luckily, with Big Blue, we can accomplish both things with a mountain backdrop to boot! We also received some great tips for elevating your dress with a bridal belt and got all the scoop on the hottest color of the year!

This week's fabulous blogs on Tahoe Unveiled encompassed everything from linen decor to hair advice on making a pony-tail bridal worthy to "greening" up your celebration and making it as earth-friendly as possible.

Give guests something special and memorable to sip on during your celebration with a customized signature cocktail! You can take your favorite drink, be it a classic margarita or bubbly, add a cute name & drink stir or piece of fruit and voilá - signature cocktail! Try bringing out a late night customized cocktail as well, because we all know that once the hot Tahoe sun goes down there is a little chill in the air and a great solution is a warm cocktail with your love!

Throw caution and tradition to the wind with a creative cake topper. One gorgeous flower or a floral themed accent piece, such as succulent, can really take the cake!

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!

Spring is in the air! And with this gorgeous time of year comes closet cleaning, fresh clothes, and flowers blooming everywhere! Why not give your guests something to admire long after the nuptials by sending them off with a floral favor. You can collect different types of seeds from your local flower shop and bundle them up with a sweet card and planting instructions or spend the day with your bridesmaids planting little seedlings in miniature flower pots that will bloom all summer long on your guests' window sills - brilliant!

This week on our sister site we saw a gorgeous PlumpJack wedding through a beautiful vintage lens & were encouraged to think outside of our flower box with innovative and super unique non-floral bouquet ideas. We were also excited for summer with a super cute parasol inspiration and are now prepped and ready to become the most beautiful brides we can be with expert makeup tips from Kari Addison. And last but certainly not least we were provided with plenty of great information about the newest Lake Tahoe Wedding Planner on Tahoe Unveiled, Melissa Panico of MAP Events! Well, Ol' Man Winter decided to pay us a visit again but I'm looking past it and getting super excited for warm weather, flips flops and sunshine.

I'm tickled pink to share with you our latest discovery, Posh Veils! This super cute and savvy company creates hand crafted veils for both the modern and classic bride. I love their fusion of trendy and traditional as well as the subtle pops of color and oh so unique touches.
I adore beautiful flowers and because we work with some of the best florists around we were privy to some absolutely stunning wedding bouquets last year. Being surrounded by such gorgeous flora we get so spoiled with all of the pretty - it's a little overwhelming! Since we are all SO ready for color, Spring, Summer, and more flowers, I wanted to share some of our favorites from last year!

This week it's Summer in Tahoe with the weather reaching up to 70 degrees, I can't tell you how excited I am to finally see my toes come out of hiding and into the sun! Have a wonderful weekend Lovelies!

Why not pull a little double duty with your decor by making your escort cards part of the style design? These double duty cards will both direct your guests to their seat and add a little oomph to the surroundings, voilà!

One Fine Day is a one stop shop to any and everything you might need to make the wedding in your mind come to life. With that being said, it takes lots of inspirational research to make sure each bride + groom gets the wedding for their dream-books. To help with this, our design team spends hours researching decor ideas and perfecting each and every detail to make sure all events are customized to the tee and reflect each couple's vision. I've collected a few of our favorite inspirational themes for our upcoming weddings this summer and wanted to share how this whole process starts!
Bright Pops of Color with a twist of Woodland Chic
Whimsical and Flirty affair with hints of Romance
Soft Romance with a touch of Royal Elegance
These are just a few "kick-off" examples of details + decor to help steer each lovely couple to their dream wedding! You tell us what you like, love, hate, can't live without and we make sure it's delivered with style. There are many aspects that go into planning a beautiful and exquisite event, and I think the design process may be the most fun part!
This week our sister site brought new meaning to the word beauty with all of our gorgeous inspiration! We were convinced to throw a few beautiful and delicate anemones into our wedding bouquet, got all sorts of juicy scoop from grooms who tell their side of the wedding story, were inspired to bring back the classic beauty, pearls, into our wedding repertoire, and last but not least we were super duper excited to feature one of our favorite weddings from this summer at Martis Camp! I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys this *possibly* last bit of snow we're getting!

One way to take your dress over the top and make it truly yours is with a beautiful bridal belt. Whether you're looking to add a touch of sparkle or a bit of bling, cinch your dieted to perfection waist, or create an elegant final touch, a bridal belt could be the perfect compliment to any dress.

We all look forward to it: the instant a bride and groom first see each other. We feel their love and their joy in knowing they are a mere aisle length away from "happily ever after." My eyes well up almost every time - it never gets old! However, many modern couples are choosing to break from tradition and share this moment before the wedding. The reason? To enjoy a few quiet minutes alone AND to get photos out of the way so that they can enjoy the entire celebration! You know you are going to want fabulous photos of your wedding day, so instead of trying to squeeze everything into 1 hour, take your time and do it before the wedding! Here are a few fab first looks!

Whether you stick with tradition or take a few minutes of time alone, there is no question of how special this moment is to any wedding.
This week on our sister site we got all giddy from two gorgeous weddings at Northstar & The Ritz Carlton, saw the beauty in tying the knot under a beautiful tree, were bowled over in laughter with hilarious & unique wedding images, and were delighted to see how blue glass centerpieces can be both vintage and glamorous. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm ready for Springtime! I can practically smell the fresh grass and juicy fruit of the upcoming summer months - I don't know if I have cabin fever from all this rain or what, but I'm ready for a new season!!
Using varying glass bottles as a table centerpiece or table marker is a great conversation starter and the blue glass will photograph beautifully. The bottles you’ve collected will show the love you put into....click here to read the rest of the post!
