Metallics are going to be hot. Whether you are a gold gal or a silver gal or something inbetween, there is a precious metal shade for you… platinum, copper, bronze, gold or silver.
Copper is a natural compliment to the fall hues, bronze looks stunning with vibrant colors (think of how great a bronzed, tan body looks in bright summery clothes…). Gold always adds a richness and sophistication to the design. Platinum brings a cool, classic antique elegance to the table while a shiny silver gives a sleek gleam.

One of our brides added a bronze sash with beaded floral rosettes to her bridesmaids’ black dresses for a one-of-a-kind style. Simple touches like choosing a gold rimmed plate or gold rimmed champagne glasses will add detail.
It is easy to incorporate this fresh trend into your wedding style by selecting an embellished wedding gown, a metallic linen or a wedding accessory like a hair clip, shoe or belt with your favorite metal color. Groomsmen attire isn’t off limits either! Key focal points to consider include your invitation, your wedding cake as well as a multitude of elements in your tablescape.

This light hearted and mood lifting wedding is the perfect pick-me-up during all these short winter days filled with dark, gloomy skies. We have previously given a glimpse to this charming wedding with a video peek but have been saving this gem of a wedding to roll out when we needed a little reminder of those glorious sunny summer days.
This wedding is sure to put a smile on your face and a hop in your step with its gleaming color palette of white, pewter silver and fresh green. The splashes of magenta modernize a traditional look and the outcome was breathtakingly sophisticated and tailored!
Last June Sarah and Ryan exchanged vows in a church ceremony and then treated their guests to a breathtaking Lake Tahoe view at a private estate for the following festivities. Personalized touches were woven through out from the stick rock candy at the coffee bar to the individualized hand tied flip-flops to the color coordinated pashminas for the guests to, last but not least, the wildly popular and colossal photo board of the couple’s childhood years.
This slideshow is sure to cure any wintertime blues!

With plenty of white snow glittering and dancing as it drifts down from the sky in Tahoe these days, we found inspiration everywhere for a sparkling winter wedding!
This winter white wedding inspiration board, fashioned by our fabulous intern Alex, creates a very luxurious and glamorous winter style. The all white affair is complimented with a few platinum accents. From layers of pearl beading to dangling crystal prisms to frosted ornaments, the key is in making the most of the minute details.
A winter wedding in the mountains would not be complete without a white cashmere bridal hoodie to wear and a few gorgeous outdoor pictures of the couple playing in the fresh snow. Of course in Tahoe a ski lift photo shoot is a must!
We wish you and yours a very merry Holiday Season!

Ginger and Brannan’s blissful summer wedding was featured today on Style Me Pretty. We first rolled out this July wedding in September with a colorful slide show blog post. This vibrant lake view Tahoe wedding is a real show shopper with its splashes of pink, purple and tangerine orange accented by colorful butterflies. This is definitely a must see!
