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!

I am just tickled pink with excitement and so honored to be a guest speaker for Bret Cole's Photography Workshop this fall!!!
The workshop is taking place all over our beautiful Lake Tahoe! Bret will be teaching photographers the art of her fantastic eye and skills, while the guest speakers will be lending a hand on the many other aspects involved with wedding photography. We have some fantastic venues picked out for the photo shoots AND a few more locations for the speaker sessions - and of course wining and dining!! I will be talking about what wedding planners are looking for in their photographers, how to continue to receive referrals from wedding planners, and a few other topics!!
For more information and to sign up, go to www.BretCole.com/workshops
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!

We have been busy little bees for our wedding this weekend(!) but still managed to find tons of inspiration on our sister site in the form of wedding doors, vintage hairstyles for the bride, a stunning Nude and Beige color palette, and the best way to shop for engagement rings!

It's no secret that I'm in love with Ombre - it's just something about this style of color fusion that I've fallen head over heels for! I think it's the soft transition of color from a light faded shade into a super vibrant and colorful one that I just can't get enough of - whether it's in the shade of flowers, the table decor, or a sly surprise in the cake layers, I highly recommend weaving this brilliant idea into your decor!

This week on our sister site were were shown lots of wedding inspiration in the form of beautiful earrings, enchanted weddings in the woods, cute-as-a-button topper hats and bright boutonnieres! All of this inspiration has me geared up for creativity and bursting with ideas - I hope everyone has a splendid (and inspired) weekend!

I have to admit, I'm somewhat of a lush when it comes to flowers - I adore them! And there is something to be said for a beautiful & organic wildflower cluster that looks like it grew right out of the table or bouquet. I think it's perfectly imperfect and gorgeous all the way around!

Here in the mountains the days are hot and the nights can be a bit....well, chilly. Be sure to wrap yourself in a snuggly but stylish shawl when the sun goes down and you'll want to dance under the stars all night! It's also a great idea to think of your guests - pashminas come in a brilliant array of colors and can work double duty as cute decor too!

This week on our sister site we took a peek at some gorgeous & super classy boudoir photography, and I personally wanted to take a bite out of my screen (again) with the temptingly delicious summer cupcakes post. We also sent a loving shout-out to our feline friends & were inspired to incorporate berry blue into the festivities because it's such a great Summer color! This week at the lake it has been hot, gorgeous, and everything a lake tahoe summer is meant to be - I hope everyone has a chance to get outside and enjoy it!

Yay! One of our gorgeous lakefront weddings from last Summer has been featured in the latest Tahoe Quarterly Magazine! Paige and Mike's wedding took place at Chambers landing by the beach - complete with a bagpiper! It was incredible to watch these two lovebirds tie the knot and we had a blast planning every detail of this Martha-Stewart-meets-Tahoe soiree! To see the full wedding gallery click here.

There's a reason everyone is turning to soft and elegant blush colors - it's gorgeous! Blush is whimsical & beautiful and creates the perfect compliment to any blushing bride.

This week on our sister site we fell in love with the Chevron pattern (not that we weren't already crazy about it - it's our website background!), we were introduced to some great summer recipes and flavors courtesy of Moody's Catering, and got lot's of great advice and tips from our newest paper vendor, Wedding Paper Divas! We also saw what an incredible freshness and summery feel you could get by incorporating peaches into wedding decor - but we kind of already knew how absolutely stunning that could be!

Today's inspiration is the epitome of summer's essence - lemon and mint! What's not to love about the bright burst of lemons with a cooling touch of mint? It's the perfect summer love affair and the colors mesh brilliantly. Make sure to have loads of fresh lemonade for your guests to cool off with and if you add bright lemon cupcakes with a mint ribboned cake it's a match made in heaven!

Well hello my lovely brides! It's been a while since I blogged, but I wanted to introduce you to our new client!
This past week, I flew to Burlington , VT to attend a very good friend's wedding. As per usual, I perused through my selection of wedding magazines, popped an airborne in a bottle of water, and sifted through my 'to-do' list. However, this time the mood was slightly different as I flipped through the pages and glanced at all the gorgeous weddings....and the to do list had a slightly different agenda! I wasn't skimming through to catch glimpses of a few pretty weddings and sassy ideas to see if any of our client's would be interested in these pretties... this time I turned every single page and read each cover to cover (advertisements, wedding gowns, if it was in print I read it) ... for my own wedding!!! Yup, that's right - this wedding planner is getting hitched and I could not be more ecstatic, thrilled, and elated!
Greg popped that magical question last week while we were paddle boarding at sunset on the lake. It was by far the best and most romantic moment of my entire life! When we were getting in the lake Greg insisted on wearing this tiny little life jacket - he does funny things like this so I didn't really think much of it! We paddled down the west shore, cruising past beautiful lakefront estates, chatting about normal things, and then Greg said, "Let's go check out that river and see if we can paddle up it." So without question I proceeded, but shortly afterwards turned around as it was getting shallow. And all of a sudden, Greg paddled up to me, jumped out of the water, and pulled out a gorgeous ring from his life jacket! I screamed, shrieked, laughed, and of course, said Yes!! I have replayed every moment over and over and I just can't believe it actually happened! I feel like the luckiest and happiest girl in the world!
I absolutely love planning weddings and I get super excited and giddy for all of our clients...especially the week of the wedding; but I had no idea I would feel this overjoyed about getting married myself. I am thrilled to share this moment with all of my clients and the many lovely engaged couples that read our blog.
Congrats to you all!
Stephanie
This week on our sister site we learned about the importance of keeping cool in these scorching Summer months, were inspired to cool off with short wedding dresses and refreshing lemonade, and were brought to hunger pangs with some delicious savory food ideas and tips from Moody's Catering. Summer has arrived and it's beautiful - enjoy every minute of it and let's celebrate the season!!

I hear the wedding registry calling..... These cute-as-can-be mix and match plates from Anthropologie caught my eye today and I just love them! They are fun, festive, and perfect for the cute & quirky couple that loves to have fun in the kitchen!
Happy Friday Everyone! This week on our sister site we were privy to heaps of inspiration in the form of gorgeous floral crowns, whimsy ribbon decor, creative escort cards and beautiful lace wedding cakes!

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.
