For the Love of Lemon | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

Yellow is one of my all time favorite Summer colors, and foods for that matter - lemon cupcakes, bright lemon sundresses, lemonade....the list could go on! One way to brighten up your color palatte would be an infusion of this totally summer worthy color. Drip your ceremony in bright yellow tulips, cover a table with lemony cupcakes, greet your guests with a refreshing burst-of-lemon inspired cocktail, or finish your night off with a lemon-drop martini!

Spring Wedding Favor Ideas from Beau-Coup | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

Spring has sprung and with the warmer weather, happy couples are getting out and taking advantage of the sunshine for their big days. And why not? Spring is the perfect time to host a wedding, and Beau-Coup knows just how to accessorize a good spring theme with fun wedding favors!  

Garden Party Wedding Theme

Host a garden party and ditch the formal décor – after all, there is hardly a better decorator out there than Mother Nature in the springtime! Love is in bloom and the outdoors is practically exploding with color! Host your garden party wedding outside among the greenery, and serve light refreshments your guests can enjoy while taking in the sights and smells of the season. Accent place settings with beautiful hand-painted butterflies and mini garden pails filled with pastel candy to help calm spring fever.

Love Birds Wedding Theme

The happy couple can fly off into the sunset with a cute love birds theme. This theme builds on the garden party, and can be hosted indoors or out. Dress up your décor with a pastel color scheme and serve light finger foods. For the reception, set a few bird cages on risers at different heights for a unique and simple centerpiece. Spruce up tabletops with mini bird nests filled with colorful candied almonds, then mix up some sweet springtime cocktails and watch your party truly take flight!

Fruit Infused Decor | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

Ahh...Summer is approaching and the only thing on my mind is the Tahoe City Farmers' market and it's abundance of fresh and local fruit! Having a giant fruit bar with citrus infused water and fresh berries would be the perfect way to welcome guests to your celebration. Placing small kumquats as a pre-dinner snack and having bowls of fresh oranges and baby fuji apples on the dinner tables not only looks gorgeous but will give your guests a burst of energy for the dance floor!

Floral Wedding Hair | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

Flowers in your hair....does it get more romantic? I think not! I love the idea of a few flowers blended into a bridal coif. It's soft, elegant, and just a touch bohemian. And although I've always dreamed of having a giant flower crown as my hairstyle of choice, I think a more realistic approach would be just a few selectively chosen flowers (ones that can withstand being without water for a few hours) woven into the 'do. .

Silver Lining | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

The silver lining to using metallic wedding decor is that it goes with everything! And you could really shake things up by swapping the traditional white dress with a gorgeous silver wedding gown. As an added bonus you might actually be able to wear your wedding dress again (gasp!).

Napa Weekend Get Away!

It was time to get our hands on the latest and greatest 2013 linens from our beloved linen company, La Tavola, and that meant a quick road trip down to wine wonderland, otherwise known as Napa Valley - and oh what a weekend we had! First stop was a quick snack for oysters and bubbles at the Oxbow Market....so yummy! Then we were off to La Tavola. Their 2013 linens are beyond amazing - from sequins, to lace, bright colors to pastels, they have everything a wedding planner could ever dream into reality. Inspiration, design concepts, and client ideas were all flowing through our minds as we wafted from one gorgeous inspirational table to the next. Have I mentioned they have one of the most stunning show rooms in existence? Linens were lining the walls in perfect order, champagne was flowing in the cutest little cans around, and there was a dessert bar to-die-for! Napa is so gorgeous this time of year, it's in full Spring swing, and it's making us so excited for this upcoming Summer!

Our Favorite this week from Tahoe Unveiled

This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we were shown that it's really all about the little things. Even though there are a gazillion things to do, remember, plan for, and purchase for your special day, remember to incorporate special touches into your decor, dress, or speech. In the end, it's the little things that matter the most.

Vibrant Violet | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

It's the color of royalty, luxury and creativity - so what could be better than incorporating violet into your wedding palette? To start, there are so many gorgeous flowers drenched in the beautiful hue, not to mention it brightens up skin tones and is just plain lovely! Just be sure to keep it tailored and in hues of the same shade so you don't over-do such a bright and bold color.

Unbelievable Orchids | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

Orchids are one of those incredible flower varietals. They have the ability to be structured or soft, colorful or stark white, and present an air of tropical luxury like no other - not to mention they are gorgeous! I particularly love the Cattleya orchid which tends to be a little softer and less structured than other types.

Tickle Me Tangerine | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

How fun is this color?! Tangerine is the perfect shade to create a fabulous fun splash of Spring! It's not only the new trend in the wedding world but could also be infused into your daily wardrobe. Why not use this juicy color to dress your bridesmaids in? Or maybe snag the next gorg tangerine clutch for a super fun night out! Not to mention the combination of bright ranunculus with green leaves and colorful cake pops as dessert is design perfection!
