It’s finally here the wedding weekend breakdown. Our goal was to pull in natural elements that surround us everyday in Tahoe, without going overboard. I think we accomplished just that.
The boutiques and boutineers were beautifully arranged by Thrands Flowers. While my friend Lauren was the mastermind behind our Save-the-Date and Invitation/RSVP.
Before the wedding our party headed to a local meadow to snap a few photos. I rocked a lovely strapless number by Marisa. The bridesmaids wore silk chiffon dresses in graphite from jcrew. They each picked out there own style – LOVE! Shoes: Nina ‘Forbes’ Peep Toe. The groomsmen rocked charcoal grey suits from a local shop — Side Street Boutique. Everything came together beautifully!
Wedding decor… who knew we would DIY our own
centerpieces, guest book and cupcake stand? Guests climbed A Mountain TOGET+HER and dined at tables named after
various mountain peaks in Tahoe! Yours truly burned each name into mini rounds
Nick cut from Aspen branches (there might be an Etsy shop
in my near future). Instead of a traditional guest book we had a
wishing jar (top left) and provided our guests with colored
pencils to write sweet nothings or draw pictures. Next to the card basket (lower

were pictures of our parents and grandparents on their wedding day (lower
left). Oh and I can’t forget the party favors — local spices Tahoe Blend or Tahoe
Taco from Heart Rock Herb and Spice Co. (upper

As mentioned above our cupcake stand was made by Nick and I.
Aren’t we crafty! Guests had their pick of treats between mini cupcakes and
cake truffles from Cakes by Grace!
