A Perfectly Put-Together Mismatched Lake Tahoe Wedding
Style: All Natural Everything
Venue: Olympic Valley Stables
Noami and Ian’s wedding infused natural elements into the preexisting (and, might I add, breathtaking) views of the valley. The goal was to create an environment that was equally relaxed and casual as it was whimsical and beautiful.Â
Wooden decor elements added a rustic, bohemian vibe, while touches of bronze softened the atmosphere for a vintage, romantic feel. What makes this stand out as one of the most beautiful Lake tahoe weddings is the pop of color from the large floral arrangements throughout the entire venue. Lastly, the tented reception provided a practical way to keep everyone sheltered from the elements while creating the perfect setting for dancing the night away.Â
What We LOVE About this Lake Tahoe Wedding:Â
Large floral arrangements on the wedding ceremony arch (and everywhere throughout the venue)
Perfectly mismatched bridesmaids dressesÂ
Tented reception with greenery hanging from the ceiling
Portable bar and elevated finger foods for the guests

A Vibrant, Classy, Colorful Lake Tahoe Wedding
Style: Bold Yet Whimsical with Seasonal Accents
Natalie and Mark’s wedding in Lake Tahoe drew inspiration from the colors you’d see on a vibrant fall day on the East Coast. The priorities for this beautiful wedding included an open bar, live band, good times, and unforgettable memories. It created an ambiance reminiscent of the pure joy and nostalgia of autumn, like going apple picking with family or wine tasting with friends. Combining rustic elements, such as wooden tables and signs, with pops of red, navy, pink, yellow, and violet created a bright, fun wedding, much like the couple themselves.Â
