Tahoe Unveiled

Wine Country Wedding Video from Reel Eyes

 

This wine country wedding from One Fine Day Events exudes sophistication and elegance. Their romantic ceremony site incorporated draping and greenery with the vineyard as the backdrop. After a rockin' al fresco cocktail hour the guests moved inside the barn, which looked glam and chic with a canopy of overhead lighting and a lot of gold accents. Check out all the stunning details in their wedding video from Reel Eyes. You can feel the emotion behind this stunner of a wedding that took place in the very place Alex and Marissa first fell in love.

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Fave!

This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we had the privilege of viewing  super special moments right before a couple walks down the aisle. This has come to be known as "the first look." This ultra-special moment is so beautiful for a number of reasons - it's the first time the soon to be newlyweds see each other before they stroll down the aisle to become husband and wife, it's super private and usually only includes the two of them (and of course your wedding photographer to capture the moment!) and it's a great way to get all of the nervousness out of the way so that you can really concentrate on your vows! Take a peek below for some beautiful "first look" moments!

This week on  our sister site we were inspired to bring in Pops of Red for decor, were persuaded again to go get a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks (caffeine, I love you!), and swooned when we saw all the great Dip Kisses!  I hope everyone has a great weekend and manages to take advantage of the great weather, warm sunshine and scenery before the snow flies!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Our Favorite Bouquets

I adore beautiful flowers and because we work with some of the best florists around we were privy to some absolutely stunning wedding bouquets last year. Being surrounded by such gorgeous flora we get so spoiled with all of the pretty  - it's a little overwhelming! Since we are all SO ready for color, Spring, Summer, and more flowers, I wanted to share some of our favorites from last year!

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!
