Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Fall Veggie Love

With the greatest Holiday of all time upon us, Thanksgiving, I thought I would give everyone a delicious inspiration of Fall Veggies. Vegetables make the perfect accent decor pieces; from radishes or baby heirloom carrots to artichokes in your bouquet, veggies offer a fresh and organic take on traditional decor. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and don't forget dessert!!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Sweet as a Peach

I love a peach colored wedding! Peach is a beautiful blend of pink and cream and orange and I think it's just a lovely color all around. Peaches are a classic summertime treat but you could mix peach accent pieces into any season wedding for a beautiful and soft color palate.

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Pumpkins

Pumpkins are just the cutest things! They can be dressed up (in lace!), dressed down, or used as the quintessential Fall decor piece. Here in Tahoe yellow Aspens, red Birch leaves, and green Pines lend to the Fall color scheme with pumpkins providing pops of beautiful color. You can use these cute little gourds to hold candles and line stairs for a beautifully lit staircase, hollowed out and filled with sprinkles for a cupcake bar or as a rustic and organic flower vase for tables.

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Altars

Technically speaking, the entire wedding celebration is meant to commemorate one thing, your ceremony. During the ceremony you say vows to your soon to be sweetie-for-life, and the "altar" of sorts is what you stand before to immortalize your love for one another. Here are a few unique altar ideas; I hope you get inspired to make your ceremony site something special!

Fab Finds | Tahoe City Baked Goods

We were doing a little "research" for one of our clients' upcoming wedding Welcome Bags and discovered some scrumptious baked goodies from both Tahoe House and Sugar Pine Cakery! After photographing them we had the super tough job of sampling them, and they are all absolutely delicious!

Tahoe House, a well known staple on the West Shore of North Lake Tahoe, is famous for their made-to-order coffee and baked goods, including fresh bread. They also have a gourmet store complete with homemade chutneys, sauces and fully baked meals ready to go!

Sugar Pine Cakery is a new shop open in the Lake Forest neighborhood that specializes in Vegan and Gluten Free Organic Baking. Allison Sayles has been making cakes and goodies for years but opened her bakery to the public this Summer. Stop by and enjoy one of her many treats!

Fab Finds | Washi Tape

I found a miraculous little creation on Martha Stewart today. It's called Washi Tape, it's from Japan, and it has endless uses! You could use it to create customized drink stirs in your wedding colors, create lovely little boxes for favors, use them to spruce up vases for flowers or even use them to secure little notes for your guest book! They come in endless patterns and colors and are a great way to add pops of color without spending much. You can find them at Uncommon Goods or several other online shops.
