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.

Lake Tahoe Lakefront Wedding | Behind the Scenes

This summer we had quite the wedding season! It was filled with beautiful Lake Tahoe lakefronts, sweet ceremonies, loving and cute-as-can-be couples, heart-felt speeches, and some of the most touching father-daughter & first dances ever! As we look back on our super amazing summer season, we wanted to let everyone in on a little of the "behind the scenes" action that contributes to these gorgeous events! The following few pics are from an absolutely stunning wedding we had at the West Shore Cafe last July. Our bride was one of those dream lovelies that let us do what we do best - create and design! The inspiration behind this wedding was "Fanciful Whimsy", as the bride had oodles of whimsy and playful ideas! She loved unexpected natural elements and as she put it, "moments of drama"! We incorporated lots of greenery, succulents and even veggies (enter lots 'o romanesco!)  in architectural and innovative ways.

One of our inspiration boards

One super awesome detail that took lots of time and man-power (thank you strong muscle men!) was a customized photo booth for all of the guests. This 2-day construction was filled with lots of plants and Bloxes to create a super funky and customized party-sized photo booth!

Making it Happen!

Zephyr Tents has some of the most wonderful & magical tents, and nothing says a party like a flag flying in the wind on top! This beauty is not the easiest to put up but it creates a "wow" factor like no other!

We can't wait to share this whole wedding with you, and with Catherine Hall Studios behind the lens you know it's going to be great!!

Fab Find | The Magic of Macy's

I just discovered Macy's awesome online wedding registry and I'm in love! It's so easy to set up and scanning and browsing all of their items from the comfort of a couch is so fun!! You can also set up an appointment with a consultation expert if you're unsure what to pick out. I'm smitten with Vera Wang's china collection and I'm pretty much obsessed with everything Cuisinart has ever created so it's the perfect combination of kitchen, bedding and decor!  

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Parasols

Summer is almost over, so sad......but here in the mountains the sun is still going strong! Parasols are the perfect beautiful accessory to protect your skin from harsh rays while looking adorable at the same time. Whether you choose to rent a beautiful vintage parasol or purchase a new one in your wedding palette, it's a gorgeous and creative way to protect yourself & add a touch of vintage beauty at the same time!

Behind the Scenes | Design Research

Here at One Fine Day Events we are constantly trying to stay on top of the latest trends and styles, and with that requires really fun "research" projects! We scour bridal events, paper shops, design stores and clothing boutiques to research and perfect each client's dream vision for their wedding. A few weekends ago we had the pleasure of attending the Soolip Bridal Event in San Francisco. Afterwards, we took full advantage of being in the city and visited lots of shops, boutiques, and stores to make sure we have every option available at our fingertips to create the perfect design + details for each client's wedding. We gathered inspiration from fabrics, stationary and paper goods, food stores, flower shops, and even bed linens! Here are a few pics of us hard at work!

We were just a tad bit overwhelmed with Paper Source's reams of patterned paper...but we managed to select a few beauties for our upcoming photo shoots and weddings!! Looking forward to see what we put together!

 

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!

Fab Find | Advice Books with Marloe Press

Everyone always has advice for a what makes a happy marriage, and usually it's some pretty sound advice! Marloe Press has come up with a great little book for brides that pairs advice from contemporary married couples with vintage wedding photographs. This little advice book would make for a great bride's gift to banish those pre-wedding jitters and get ready for the I do's!

Fab Finds | Fabric Bouquets

Fabric bouquets are all the latest craze, and they're becoming popular for good reason - they're reasonably priced, make for a great keepsake, and won't wilt, ever! Some of the latest styles even look real, others are designed with vintage brooches, creative fabrics, or embellished with dried plants and herbs. I think they're a great alternative for a bouquet; you could use it at the rehearsal for practice, have your bridesmaids carry one, or get custom fabric boutonnieres made for the groomsmen and your sweetie!

Fab Finds | Fresh Scents

I thought since we were coming up on the Holidays and everyone wants a fresh start come the new year, why not start with a new smell? I've compiled a few nice scents to wear into the new year, or for your special day! Give your sweetie something new to smell on that first dance as Husband and Wife.  

Here are a few of my favs:

Favorite Wedding Scents with One Fine Day Events

Coco Mademoiselle has a sweet oriental nose at first that melts into a warm and sultry stay. Donna Karen Cashmere Mist wraps your skin in a warm blend of amber, Moraccan jasmine, lily of the valley and soft musk.

 

Favorite Wedding Smells with One Fine Day Events

If your looking for something a little more spicy, Gucci Guilty is the way to go! It has a seductive mix of pink pepper, lilac, and patchouli that's downright daring. Tom Ford's Black Orchid has a heady floral scent tempered by an undertone of earthiness.

 

Favorite Wedding Scents with One Fine Day Events

Kate Spade's Twirl is a sparkling floral cocktail that's sure to spruce up any holiday party dress! If your looking for something a little more classic, Miss Dior Cherie is an updated version of the iconic Miss Dior scent, it's light and little spicy.
