Fab Find | Save the Veil

Outdoor wedding ceremonies can provide for gorgeous images of the bride being softly windblown with her veil trailing every so delicately behind her. What may not be so photogenic is our sometimes extremely strong Tahoe wind that can blow your veil right off of your perfectly coiffed head! Thanks to the brilliantly designed Save the Veil weight magnets, your veil will stay put for the entire duration of your ceremony and into dinner and dancing. These magnets are subtle, come in a variety of different styles such as mother of pearl or Swarovski crystal and can be easily fastened and removed without damaging your veil - brilliant!

The Idea Board | Guest Books

Guest books help provide great memories for your wedding. Whether you have family members you rarely get to see, friends coming in from out of town, or guests that live far away, a guest book can provide the perfect way to re-live your wedding through the eyes of your friends and family.

Guide your friends along the way with simple questions to jot down along with their name. You can ask sweet questions for them to answer about your marriage or to remember little things about your day that were maybe lost on your and your sweetie in the hustle and bustle of the big day. See below for a few ideas to help guests with their posts:

Where do you think we will be in 10-20 years? Where should we go for our 10 year anniversary? What is the best marriage advice you have ever received? When did you know we were meant for each other? Where should we go on date nights? What were you really thinking during our vows? What should we do during our first year of marriage? What advice would you give the bride about the groom, the groom about the bride? What do you think we should remember most about our wedding day? What will you remember most? What's your advice for the honeymoon night? What are your tips for falling in love over and over again? What's the most memorable thing about us? What are the first three words that come to mind when you think of us?

Lake Tahoe Wedding Planning Advice | Gift Bags

When planning a destination wedding it is really important to make sure your guests know where to go and what to do when they arrive. As Lake Tahoe wedding planners, we are very accustomed to guiding our client's guests around this beautiful destination. The best way to do so is with a pretty little gift bag! During the week prior to our client's weddings, our studio is often full of treats, welcome letters, champagne bottles, and totes for the guests. After assembling each bag, we deliver them to the appropriate hotels and vacation rentals. When the guests arrive, they are greeted with a welcome letter from the couple, an itinerary of the wedding festivities, and a few treats to make their stay more enjoyable! This past weekend, we had a winter wedding in Truckee and created the welcome bags pictured below! They were complete with a hand sewn tote by the mother of the groom, trail mix, a mini champagne bottle, and hot chocolate to keep everyone warm!

~Things to include in a welcome bag~

Welcome Letter Thank your guests for traveling to your wedding and greet them with a little note from you and your future hubby! If you are providing transportation to the wedding, include shuttle times to and from their hotel or vacation rental.

Activities Card This essential little card should provide all the crucial information for making the most of the wedding weekend. Include all of your favorite restaurants and activities to do while in town. You could also include places to go for a little pampering or a last minute mani-pedi!

Treats Who doesn't love champagne and chocolate?! Or H2O and sunscreen to help with Tahoe's intense summer sun? Give your guests the essentials for making sure they have the best time possible; they'll love you for it and you'll know you've provided everything they need to make it the best wedding they've ever been to - win-win! A few treat ideas include: cookies from a local bakery, cheese and crackers, or even a momento from a local well known shop (tahoe house has some yummy marinades and salad dressings)! Since most of your guests will not be used to the elevation, we highly recommend adding a water bottle or even a re-usable water bottle with your motif on it!

Fab Find | Late Night Snacks

After all the dancing and drinking comes to an end, many of your guests might be looking for a little late night snack to soak up some alcohol and put their growling tummies to bed. Try rolling out some late night snacks at the end of the night to cure all the potential hangovers of the morning - with breakfast bites! Have the catering company provide little mini doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches known as croque monsieurs, or slicing up mini french toasts with a maple dipping bowl, yum!

Here's an example of one of their inspiration boards that reflects the decor and style of their wedding day!

We're working on creating an intimate atmosphere with lots of natural elements including moss, birch, candlelight and a soft color palate. We can't wait to see this all come together, hopefully against a backdrop of winter snow to complete the look!

Behind the Scenes with One Fine Day Events | Scouting Venues

One very important (and super fun!) aspect of our job is finding the perfect venue for each of our clients. We spend quite a bit of time working with venues and private estates to make sure they are a perfect fit for our clients. The amount of overall space, proximity to neighbors, and level ground are just a few of the key factors we look for in a private estate. We were recently out and about meeting with our homeowners and discovered an absolute gem on the "Gold Coast" section of the West Shore. Here's a picture of Paige and myself enjoying the sandy beach! It may look cold in this photo but come summertime, this beautiful estate is going to be absolutely magical for our clients!
