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 Wedding Inspiration | Pops of Pink

Now I must admit...I'm not a "pink" girl. I don't own anything pink and it's never the color that I would choose for any wall or home decor. But when I came across this gorgeous image I just fell in love! There is something about a pop of bright pink that draws in the eye and makes me happy. I love this unfrosted version of cake as well - it creates a rustic yet refined touch. And I love the giant bouquet on top - perfection!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Photography | Bret Cole Workshop Wrap-Up

Last month I participated in the first Bret Cole Photography Fellowship and I am SOOO very excited to reveal a few of the behind the scenes photos from the workshop! The purpose of the workshop was to provide both amateur and professional photographer’s with a weekend of inspiration and education to further their careers in the wedding industry. The event included four beautifully styled photo shoots and class time with lectures by myself, event designer Scott Corridan, Don Weinstein of Photo Impact Imaging film lab, Bret Cole of Bret Cole Photography, and Alexandra Tremaine of Tremaine Photography. Home base for the workshop was at the lovely Cedar Glen Lodge in Tahoe Vista and the photo shoot locations stretched from the top of Eagle Rock on the West Shore to a ranch out past Sierraville. Our favorite is the Sierraville wedding shoot which we helped design, of course! Such a gorgeous and amazing place – the shoot took place near an amazing old barn surrounded by fields, cows, horses, and nature…what more could you want? Take a peek below to see some of the behind the scenes photos of the engagement shoot, lectures, kids portrait shoot, and wedding shoot.

Bret Cole Fellowship

From Bret Cole ~ I came out of the experience with an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and euphoria. The team effort and support I received brought tears to my eyes. The interest in film was widely apparent from the attendees….much more than I expected. And it was so wonderful to see them learn more about the wedding and portrait industry. They were like little sponges! It’s an awesome feeling to know I was able to help them and make a difference just by sharing my passion!!

Above - our lovely model, Mel, getting styled by the fabulous Elyssa Corson (Greco Rose Creative) and Me quickly lighting the candles for the photographers.

Below - behind the scenes with Johnny B FilmsKari Addison, Elyssa Corson, and all the photographers shooting!

From workshop attendee Kirstie Frydenlund ~ What an inspiring few days it was! Bret did an incredible job creating beautiful shoots, transferring her knowledge, keeping everything positive, and teaching us all her ways! I feel so blessed and humbled for the opportunity to learn from her! Tahoe is the world’s most beautiful place. 

Love this picture of Coco, (also known as Alexandra Tremaine) flashing a sassy smile for the camera!

Above - the fabulous owners of California Vintage Rentals - Jan and Pam!

From workshop attendee Kelly Wozniak ~ I walked away with a lot of information and a new out look on photography! I can't wait to keep moving and growing with photography. Thank you, thank you!

From workshop attendee Brianne Keeney ~ I wanted to thank Bret for encouraging me in so many ways. I am so happy I came because, surprisingly (to me), connecting with other photographers actually helped my confidence. I feel more motivated and I am going to make a goal list!

We can't wait for the next workshop!!!

Beautiful Hair Brooches | Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration

I love a classic piece of jewelry, and lately brooches have been my go-to accessory piece. Whether worn on a shirt, the closing piece to a wrap dress, or tied up in your hair as a beautiful statement piece, the brooch is one of those classic jewelry staples that will never go out of style.

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. .

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!

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!
