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.

sweet \’swet\ adj. 1) pleasing to the taste 2) ABBY & NIC’s Tahoe wedding 3) pleasing to the mind or feelings 4) much loved: dear 5) wholesome 6) fine, great – Source, Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary
This Lake Tahoe Wedding is definitely sweet in every aspect of the literal word. From Catering Magazine to Style Me Pretty, everyone seems to be smitten by this wedding. Like a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven, one just can’t get enough of it! More of Abby and Nic’s lakefront wedding is on Style Me Pretty’s fine wedding blog today.
Some of the mouth-watering images from this colorful and lip smacking sweet soiree:
The personal details of the bride and groom run a plenty – their photo in their newspaper style program with crosswords and Tahoe Tessie trivia, multi-direction sign of personal places and namesake candy bar are just a few. They coined their signature cocktail after Tahoe Tessie and this mythical creature starred in the book on the bar (just in case you wanted to do some light reading). They love to ride beach cruisers and this cute bike stamp pops up in unexpected places.
Punches of orange through out the reception and ceremony kept a fresh, playful vibe. Seersucker suits on the groomsmen and ring bearers were perfect for the mid-summer wedding.
Abby loves pennants and the organic nature of wine corks – these outlined table numbers, were the perfect backing for bar menus, filled decor jars.. The colorful flag pennants graced the bars – liquor and candy, mimicked on the cake topper (with correctly matching attire of the big bride and groom) and wrapped around surrounding tree trunks in which wooden hearts also dangled.
The Here Comes the Bride sign cleverly plays double duty with Just Married on the backside. The Lake, as always, was captivating and provided quite the show with giant waves.

Thank you to Bellissima Floral for designing the ravishing flowers which were a showstopper everywhere! And none of this would be crushed upon without the photographic talents of Jay Reilly and Courtney Aaron.
I can only think of one way to sum this up – “How sweet it is to be loved by you…” – James Taylor.

Destination I Do Magazine features stunning real life destination weddings from around the world in their glossy, beautiful publication. In their Spring 2012 issue, they couldn’t pass up the chic, yet classically tailored, Lake Tahoe wedding of Cameron & Matthew. This wedding at a private Lake Tahoe lakefront wedding estate flirted with the preppy side, spell bounded the guests, rocked the night away and was unquestionably unforgettable to all.
Cameron & Matthew’s spring green, navy and white color palette complimented the Tahoe setting perfectly, but also kept a fresh feel to the tailored wedding style. Not only did she wear her mother’s vintage wedding gown (32 years waiting) but Cameron also carried the family bible down the aisle adorned with flowers.
Cameron also loves monograms, so we echoed theirs from the napkins, to the menus, to the invitations to their wedding cake to even the dance floor. Fun elements were not limited to decor and included their gyrating band, retro neon sunglasses, vintage coke bottles and blue cheese late night sliders. As DIDO so eloquently put it, the devil is in the details…
Thanks to Zorn Photography for doing what they do so well! If you were a wedding crasher at this wedding, here’s a glance of what you might have seen:
