Best of B&B 2016 Award

 

Turns out it is not only award season in Hollywood! Borrowed and Blue is one of our favorite wedding blogs that is designed to inspire and guide brides and grooms from across the US in 66 specific markets. Every year they come out with the only exclusively vendor-voted wedding industry awards. It's so unique (and fun!) that B&B allows the vendors themselves to hand-pick their very favorite companies to work alongside. We believe that your vendor team needs to be comprised of people who are not only talented and fit nicely into your budget, but that they are also a joy to work with! For example, it's difficult to get a sense of a photographers communication style if you are only viewing images in their online gallery, but it's absolutely essential to have the person capturing all your precious moments be someone who you feel comfortable interacting with - not to mention smooching and crying in front of.

At One Fine Day Events we strive to ensure that the dream team we help you build is comprised of individuals that make you smile. And it makes us smile that our colleagues have chosen us for this prestigious award. We are honored to receive an award for being one of the top three Best Wedding Planners in Lake Tahoe.

Depending on your style or event type you can search for venues that speak your language - from secret haciendas to castles to luxury safari camps! Here are a few that completely knocked my socks off.

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!

One Fine Day Photo Shoot featured on Mountainside Bride!

Today we had the incredible honor of being featured on one of our favorite wedding blogs! Mountainside Bride is an absolutely fabulous blog dedicated to all things mountain + bride and we could not be more excited to have our photo-shoot featured today! This photo-shoot took place at the Manzanita restaurant in the Ritz Carlton and was a combination of "Rugged Meets Refined" elements. Click here to read the full article!

We combined rugged elements found in nature with more refined pieces to create a blend of contrasts. A few of our favorite design pieces included incorporating barbed wire wrapped around glass jars with unexpected floral elements such as cotton and dried seed pods. We also spray painted tin cans different metal tones and paired them with mercury glass wrapped in lace to create a unique centerpiece. We finished the tables with a bright turquoise napkins and rugged natural slate stone used as chargers. Be sure to watch the video (below) and you can see how we put it all together!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Elegant Farm Tables

Whether you're looking for a down-home rustic vibe or a slightly more elegant look, farm tables are the way to go! It's all a matter of either a chandelier here or a polished vase there and you can achieve the perfect look. Here are a few examples of a dressed up farm table with touches of rustic elegance...one of my personal faves!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Roses are Red...

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!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Muted Plums

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!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Soft Ombre

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!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Summer Wildflowers

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!

The Idea Board | Summer Shawls

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!

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Juice!

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!

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Juice!

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!

Lake Tahoe Inspiration Board | Lemon and Mint

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!

The Idea Board | Beautiful Bouquet Wraps

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.
