Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | First Looks

We all look forward to it: the instant a bride and groom first see each other. We feel their love and their joy in knowing they are a mere aisle length away from “happily ever after.” My eyes well up almost every time – it never gets old! However, many modern couples are choosing to break from tradition and share this moment before the wedding. The reason? To enjoy a few quiet minutes alone AND to get photos out of the way so that they can enjoy the entire celebration! You know you are going to want fabulous photos of your wedding day, so instead of trying to squeeze everything into 1 hour, take your time and do it before the wedding!

Here are a few fab first looks!

Tahoe Unveiled’s Weekly Juice!

This week on our sister site we got all giddy from two gorgeous weddings at Northstar & The Ritz Carlton, saw the beauty in tying the knot under a beautiful tree, were bowled over in laughter with hilarious & unique wedding images, and were delighted to see how blue glass centerpieces can be both vintage and glamorous.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m ready for Springtime! I can practically smell the fresh grass and juicy fruit of the upcoming summer months – I don’t know if I have cabin fever from all this rain or what, but I’m ready for a new season!!

 

Using varying glass bottles as a table centerpiece or table marker is a great conversation starter and the blue glass will photograph beautifully. The bottles you’ve collected will show the love you put into….click here to read the rest of the post!

Fab Find | Save the Veil

Outdoor wedding ceremonies can provide for gorgeous images of the bride being softly windblown with her veil trailing every so delicately behind her. What may not be so photogenic is our sometimes extremely strong Tahoe wind that can blow your veil right off of your perfectly coiffed head! Thanks to the brilliantly designed Save the Veil weight magnets, your veil will stay put for the entire duration of your ceremony and into dinner and dancing. These magnets are subtle, come in a variety of different styles such as mother of pearl or Swarovski crystal and can be easily fastened and removed without damaging your veil – brilliant!

The Idea Board | Guest Books

Guest books help provide great memories for your wedding. Whether you have family members you rarely get to see, friends coming in from out of town, or guests that live far away, a guest book can provide the perfect way to re-live your wedding through the eyes of your friends and family.

Guide your friends along the way with simple questions to jot down along with their name. You can ask sweet questions for them to answer about your marriage or to remember little things about your day that were maybe lost on your and your sweetie in the hustle and bustle of the big day. See below for a few ideas to help guests with their posts:

Where do you think we will be in 10-20 years?
Where should we go for our 10 year anniversary?
What is the best marriage advice you have ever received?
When did you know we were meant for each other?
Where should we go on date nights?
What were you really thinking during our vows?
What should we do during our first year of marriage?
What advice would you give the bride about the groom, the groom about the bride?
What do you think we should remember most about our wedding day? What will you remember most?
What’s your advice for the honeymoon night?
What are your tips for falling in love over and over again?
What’s the most memorable thing about us?
