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!

Romance – it never goes out of style. Jessica and Spencer proclaimed their adoration and love for each other last fall at their Lake Tahoe wedding site, Storybook Cottage. A gurgling stream right down the property, a wooden footbridge, tall pines – what more could a bride ask for?? If the usually trickling stream had any indication of the strength of their love, the rising water only bid wonderful things to come.
Jessica was awestruck when she saw the venue for the first time. Believe it or not, she had never seen the lakefront property until the day before her wedding. Thank goodness her groom Spencer got this right! Living on the East Coast but growing up coming to Lake Tahoe, Spencer had a feeling this was the place for them.
Talented photographer Allyson Wiley worked her magic capturing the charming ceremony and celebration to follow. Rich, succulent fall colors played to the season and beauty of the property. The singing and dancing into the night with their closest of close friends and family, was the beginning of their fairytale…
Tall pines loomed over their lakeside ceremony area with cheerfully colored blooms lining the aisle. One of my favorite moments was when Jessica crossed the footbridge with her dad and Spencer saw her for the first time. You could feel the energy between the two! A large white classic tent with crystal chandeliers set the mood for the party to follow… And as always, the silent guest known as Lake Tahoe spun its magic and did its part!

With so much wedding inspiration on the world wide web these days, it is very easy for a bride to become overwhelmed with all the design choices and styles. And I am just talking about the dining tables! Having a beautifully set table at your wedding can be something to look forward to or a daunting task. The great joy of designing a stylish table-scape is to have fun with it. Start small in your own home with your own dining table and engage in a little table-‘E’scape.
A few simple tips can make your own cupboards a bin of inspiration. An organized pantry will allow you to access items easily and you will be more likely to remember these settings and use them. Stack collections of similar colors on open shelves. Baskets can store table linens, napkins, napkin rings and candles.
First rule is there are no rules but just a few simple guidelines to observe…
- Begin with stocking your pantry with basic white dishes. More the better with oversize bowls and platters… Food pops off white plates but don’t be afraid to accessorize with colorful accents.
- Silverware can vary from your grandmother’s antiques to flea market finds. Mix and match is a ‘do’ as well if you don’t have complete sets.
- Collect place mats and napkins in different colors to compliment your china. Napkins can match or contrast. They can be folded a million ways, be placed on top, next to or under the plate. Napkin rings are further embellishment and come in a variety of styles and materials.
- Runners are great on a bare wooden table top or placed on a linen tablecloth. A tablecloth creates a sense of formality and helps define the mood.
- Candles. Lots and lots of candles – votives and pillars – create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
- Use color as your organizing principle. A single color can have a terrific impact too.
Add your own personal style to your table by looking around your home for inspiration. After a few nights of reenacting Top Chef with your favorite friends and breaking in different place settings, your own dining table will be a breeding ground of ideas. Start to play with china shapes, complimentary color families, different textures – the sky is your limit!
Now it is time to tackle the table-scape for your wedding reception!
