This week on our sister site we were inspired to twist our tendrils into an intricate up-do, found great ways and ideas to make the ladies of our life - our mothers - look fabulous on the wedding date, weighed the benefits of matching vs. non-matching bridesmaids fashion, and got the munchies from our milk & cookies late night snack idea!

Grooms and groomsmen always look strapping in their sharp suits and shiny shoes but after hours of dancing and hundreds of hugs, the guys' boutonnieres can be left looking a tad bit sad. No fear, we have solutions for hug-proof boutonnieres! Try pinning on a cute medallion in your wedding colors or go for something unique like a Japanese Knot, believed to bring the recipient good luck. You could also ask your florist to use fiddle-head ferns which come in a variety of colors, lay flat against a lapel, and can withstand lots of hugs!

This week on our sister site we learned all about the meaning behind "tying the knot", were inspired to wrap a beautiful shawl around to stay warm after the Tahoe sun goes down, were privy to a beautiful inspiration board featuring luscious citrus, and were inspired to keep it light and airy - with ballon decor!

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!
We're having such an exciting week at the OFD studio! Over the last few months we have been working with our designer on a new logo and website; today we are officially launching our new look! We are head over heels in love with it and SO excited to share it with all of you.
Our goal with the redesign was to more accurately reflect the aesthetic we bring to our event designs. We wanted something fresh, youthful, colorful, and easy to navigate. The new site has much of the same content as the previous site, but we've made a few additions. Take a peek at our galleries, press page, testimonials, team page and all the rest! We would love to hear what you think in the comments section of this post.
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!

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!

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!

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!
