Last December we first revealed Jill and Dave’s gorgeous and modern wedding at the West Shore Cafe and hinted that this wouldn’t be the only time you would see it in the world of weddings… Now their Lake Tahoe wedding is in the glossy and beautiful California Wedding Day Spring/Summer 2013 issue for wedding inspiration for everyone!

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!

When we first heard last December of being awarded ” Best of Weddings for 2013″ by the Knot, we were so excited (blush, blush!). Then the second thought hit – How are we going to keep this under wraps until their announcement in January?
Well we did! It is an honor to be recognized but we could not be where we are today without our utterly fabulous brides and grooms as well as our fellow wedding pros.

Today we take time to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by, to remember the wonderful new people that came into our lives and to reminisce about the unforgettable life milestones we shared.
A big thanks to the photographers that don’t hesitate to get dirty lying on the ground or hang one-handed from a ladder or wade into the water up to their waists, risking it all so they can get that perfect intimate look or capture a ravishing glance at just the right angle. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to share a few of these memorable moments and these moments in time would only exist in a fleeting thought…
Thank you to all – our couples, our fellow colleagues – for these moments are a true collaboration of many. Congratulations and Happy New Year!

The June wedding of Jill and Dave at the West Shore Cafe kicked off our past wedding season with a bountiful feast of eye-grabbing details thanks to the scrumptious bright yellow Jill is so fond of. Her wedding color palette comprised of bright yellow, pewter silver/grey with whites and creams was sophisticated and current.
Jill and Dave didn’t want anything too traditional with their wedding and strove for a modern, unique yet elegant touch to their special day. Standing together with their closest friends and family seated nearby, all eyes were on them during the ceremony as they opted to not have a wedding party. Another modern change, in leiu of a classic ‘presentation’ wedding cake, they opted for a passed dessert of lemon blueberry mascarpone cake.
Other current touches included faux paper grey flowers mixed in with the real blooms in Jill’s bouquet. This brought a color and texture spectrum not normally found in nature to the mix – absolutely stunning. The faux flowers could be found as well throughout the reception including the dining table centerpieces.
Floral rosettes cascaded down Jill’s gorgeous gown and this fabric was mimicked in the backing of each formal invite. A fresh bright yellow dot motif was carried throughout from the invites to the reception accessories – all by Angela Dal Bon Custom Invitations and Announcements.
Jill & Dave exchanged vows at the end of a long, dramatic pier. Modern, bold and slightly edgy arrangements on silver pedestals in clear vases elevated the “floating” flowers to new heights and nodded to the Lake Tahoe water just inches away. Bright yellow pomeander balls flanked the aisle and together with pewter silver were an exceptional color combination.
White floral orbs graced the ceremony and cocktail hours along with the visually delightful bright yellow. Yellow callas presented in clear fishbowls added another unique floral design to the list by Bellissima Floral.
The clever yellow dot motif popped up again on the escort cards and table numbers. The center of the long dining tables overflowed with white pillars, hydrangea, orchids and callas. More pops of the bright yellow awaited each guest at their place setting.
Guests dined with an incomparable lakeside view under a modern and romantic open air tent, with sheer swagging and twinkle lights draping over their heads.
Hollye of Hollye Schumacher Photography captured every detail of this stunning wedding including the perfect sunset kiss that delighted the guests.
This isn’t the only glimpse of this wedding you will see, there is lots more to come of this gorgeous wedding… stay tuned!

A few months ago we shared the inspiration board we created for Mendy & Jim, one of our Lake Tahoe weddings, on our Merrily Wed Facebook page. We have been eagerly awaiting to share with you the reveal of their June wedding! Here’s the beautiful board for those who missed it and then below, the gorgeous lakefront private estate wedding…

If you didn’t know, Plan B is for Better. At least it is in our book now. As an unseasonably cold front came through and decided to stay we rethought, reworked and revamped our plans of the past year in a mere 2 days. Not only does Plan B stand for Better but for Beautiful too. No one would have ever known that this was not the original plan, except for now as I am spillin’ ‘da beans!

xxxxBringing in clear tents and tent heaters allowed Mendy & Jim’s chartreuse green, black and pewter silver palette to shine through.
An overall modern yet classic wedding style without forgetting the natural stunning setting…
In nod to these mason jar aficionados, we had these subtly popping up in all the expected (and unexpected!) places. Their Mad Libs sign in was also a true testimony to this couple’s fun and playful nature. And their guests couldn’t help but to fill out more than one!x

A surprise serenade to Mendy’s pure delight by Jim was one of the unforgettable moments during the reception – another was a guest busting out “the worm”! Married, happy and warm was how these newlyweds left into the night along with all their ecstatic guests!
