Tahoe Wedding Advice | Bachelorette Party Tips

Now that your best friend, sister, college roommate is engaged - it's time to start thinking about the bachelorette party!!! There are so many ideas but we have a few tips to get you started on the right track. 1. Pick the group that she feels comfortable "letting loose" around | Get the invite list from the bride and let her decide who she would like to have join - if she hasn't spoken to someone in a while or doesn't feel comfortable in Vegas with work colleagues, they don't need to get an invite.

3.) Remember this is her night or weekend | Focus on what will make her have fun and enjoy a relaxing evening, not what everyone else wants to do.If sipping wine by a roaring fire while glamping, or partying all night in Vegas are things that will make your bride-to-be happy, then that is what your plan should entail.

2.) Create a Budget | Once you have the guest list created, ask everyone what they are comfortable spending. If it's relatively small, keep this in mind and maybe plan a one-night, local adventure. If everyone has a little more wiggle room, maybe consider turning this into a weekend relaxation trip or quick flight to somewhere fun.

4.) Elect one person for Planning  | It's so easy for everyone to brainstorm and come up with a million locations, ideas, themes, etc. Let one person coordinate all of the details and then as a group finalize everything. That way no one is doing double work and everything will be more seamless.

5.) Take care of Transportation | Do everyone a favor and rent either a limo, town car, or party bus. No one wants to be the "sober" one for this fun night out, so everyone should build in their budget an allotment for responsible transportation.

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.

Our Favorite this week from Tahoe Unveiled

This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we had the pleasure of receiving some much needed great advice! After the big day has (literally) flown by, it's always a good idea to look at what is remembered and what can stand to be forgotten (small, annoying set-backs, un-needed advice and stress, and hardcore dieting!). See below for some great advice from a married woman to a bride-to-be.

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Get Your Sparkle On!

I know I've said this before, but I absolutely love sparkle! It's glittery, it's glitzy, and I'm in love with the fanciness of it all!! For a Lake Tahoe gal, one of the few times it's totally acceptable and maybe even *encouraged* is New Years. It's a new year, a new beginning, and the perfect time to bring out your sparkliest self! So put on the dress you've been eyeing or have stashed in your closet, grab your closest friends and party-going people, and create a night to remember!

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!!

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!

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!

Behind the Scenes with One Fine Day | Wedding & Design Inspiration

One Fine Day is a one stop shop to any and everything you might need to make the wedding in your mind come to life. With that being said, it takes lots of inspirational research to make sure each bride + groom gets the wedding for their dream-books. To help with this, our design team spends hours researching decor ideas and perfecting each and every detail to make sure all events are customized to the tee and reflect each couple's vision. I've collected a few of our favorite inspirational themes for our upcoming weddings this summer and wanted to share how this whole process starts!  

Bright Pops of Color with a twist of Woodland Chic

 

Whimsical and Flirty affair with hints of Romance

 

Soft Romance with a touch of Royal Elegance

These are just a few "kick-off" examples of details + decor to help steer each lovely couple to their dream wedding! You tell us what you like, love, hate, can't live without and we make sure it's delivered with style. There are many aspects that go into planning a beautiful and exquisite event, and I think the design process may be the most fun part!

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Juice!

This week our sister site brought new meaning to the word beauty with all of our gorgeous inspiration! We were convinced to throw a few beautiful and delicate anemones into our wedding bouquet, got all sorts of juicy scoop from grooms who tell their side of the wedding story, were inspired to bring back the classic beauty, pearls, into our wedding repertoire, and last but not least we were super duper excited to feature one of our favorite weddings from this summer at Martis Camp! I hope everyone has  a great weekend and enjoys this *possibly* last bit of snow we're getting!

Whenever I look at flowers and wedding bouquets, I’m inevitably drawn to the delicate pink and white flowers with fuzzy blue/black centers.  Those frame-worthy florals are...click here to read the rest of the post!
