Dapper black tuxes, gilded gold touches, an endless pier with a beckoning light, a big band… details echoing a definite Gatsby style made this wedding a timeless classic.
Karen and Cyrus wed last September at a private lakefront estate on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. As leaves turn and kids head back to school, Tahoe becomes a quiet playground and there is no doubt why this is the most popular time of year to marry here. Cyrus and his groomsmen arrived for the ceremony aboard an Italian water taxi to the delight of their unsuspecting guests.

Peony pink, ivory, gold and touches of champagne comprised the color palette of this classically elegant wedding. Heavy draping reminiscent of Karen’s stunning gown graced the main arch that guests walked through. Gold detailed embellishments could be found through-out the reception including the vintage lounge.

Crystal chandeliers and clear tents allowed the towering pines overhead to not be forgotten and blended their classic indoor styling with the Tahoe outdoors.

A tenor and string quartet set the stage for the ceremony and later on an 8 piece big band from Los Angeles entertained for the reception – all true to the vibe of the day. The black and white checkerboard dance floor was the perfect touch to the stylish Gatsby feel complete with simple string lighting overhead.

After sunset, the lighting on the endless pier beckoned guests to come closer to the best vantage point for soaking up the surrounding Jewel of the Sierra. Truly a timeless and unforgettable soiree’!
Jonathan of Jonathan Young Weddings captured this beautiful wedding and the talented Hattie of Art In Bloom designed the stunning florals.

We were crushing on chevron (and still are!) while planning and designing this wedding! Catarina loves everything chevron and the grey chevron pattern was the perfect backdrop to her wedding color palette of vibrant melons, blues and purples.
With over 150 guests in attendance for their late September wedding, Catarina and Ross married on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe at the Glenbrook Club House. We are excited to share their charming, color popping wedding with you!
Over 250 roses created the melon swirl petal design down the aisle. Curly willow with symmetrical floral clusters draped overhead as Catarina and Ross exchanged their vows. B & B Designs provided the cheery flowers for their colorful wedding!
Bright melon colored Gerbera daisies helped guests find their seats. The light grey chevron table runners served as the perfect base for the beautiful tablescape on the dining tables. This chevron pattern repeated in the background on the escort cards and cleverly numbered table cards.
Who wants a lollie? Fun, color palette matching lollipops decorated the cake table in custom initial mugs and more were found on their separate candy bar. And there were enough lollies for everyone!
Grey striped straws with custom monogram tags decorated each guest’s drink and complemented the color palette.
Their celebration lasted into the night as the white paper lanterns’ glow took over as the sun set. Dancing was definitely a highlight of the evening as well as the memorable toasts from close friends and family.
Thanks to Mauricio of Chrisman Studios for capturing this charming wedding celebration!

What’s trending up today in wedding design is actually a trend down… So out with the old and in with the new! We just fell in love with the lavish, luxurious cascading flower wedding trend for 2013. This romantic and intoxicating cascade of beauty can be drizzled throughout your wedding from your ceremony to your reception and beyond!
Ceremony Décor
Some couples desire to stand beside the timeless arch to say their “I Do’s” while others dream of exchanging their vows under a traditional chuppah. Then there are those that love being surrounded by a waterfall of decadent flowers swinging from the trees. This cascading flower trend has also beautifully lent itself to include lush greenery or sophisticated swaying linen to accompany the altar area. Wherever you choose to become “Mr. and Mrs.”, this cascading effect emanates true love with a dash of whimsical romance!
Reception Décor
Why not wine and dine under a gorgeous cluster of your favorite dangling flowers, with or without candlelight, for your first dinner as newlyweds? Flowers adorning the chandeliers, twinkling string lights, cascading flowers dancing above the dining tables… priceless!
Beyond!
Okay, so maybe you just want to ‘splash’ some cascading flowers somewhere else in your most memorable day, but not wanting to fully commit to the cascading flowered arch or tablescape? Rest assured, here are some other ways to include the trend in your wedding day!
Escort Card Table
This table décor often sets the mood or tone for the evening for your guests’ dining experience. Whether a few small trailing cluster of flowers to welcome your guests to dinner or a decadent cascade of blooms, this is such a delightful touch!
