Tips to help plan a stress free Lake Tahoe Wedding

  Planning a perfect wedding can be an overwhelming ordeal.  Often enough, what is meant to be the most important day of your life ,can suddenly become a stressful affair if you’re not careful. With all the chaos of the day and so many details to handle, it’s easy nearly impossible to not stress out over the tiniest of things.  When planning your spectacular Lake Tahoe wedding, it’s important for brides and grooms to remember the most important aspect of the day; you’re about to unite with the love of your life. Nothing else matters.  If you find yourself losing site of this on you’re wedding day, its important to stop…be still.. and breathe.

Here are some other tips to help keep the stress and worries at bay;

•     Give yourself plenty of time to plan the event -  When you’re in deep in a state of romantic bliss the last thing you want to do is wait to marry the person you love.  I’m sure if most women could have the perfect wedding arrange and waiting, the moment they say I do, they would gladly hop in their dress and head straight down the aisle.  But that’s not how it works.  Planning a wedding takes time. In order to find the best wedding venue, food, dress, flowers and all the other stuff that goes along with a great wedding, is wise to give yourself plenty of time to prepare.  Doing so will ensure you do not become more and more stressed and disappointed leading up the event.  If you’re unable to give yourself enough time to plan a wedding than consider hiring a professional wedding coordinator.  Their expertise and seasoned experience will alleviate most of your wedding day stress.
•    Don’t be shy about asking for help -  A wedding is a huge undertaking.  Most brides don’t even know where to begin when they start planing their wedding.  You might want to be the Wonder Woman who does it all and hardly breaks a sweat, but with such a large ‘checklist’ to tackle, sometimes it’s best to let go and allow people to help.  Whether it be your mom, best friend, or a wedding coordinator, it’s important you don’t try to take it all on yourself, otherwise, you might have a case of ‘bride burnout’ by the time your big day rolls around.
•    Be flexible - Weddings are similar to childbirth.  You might have the perfect plan laid out for the day, but things don’t always go as planned.  If you accept this as a possibility and make a choice not to get upset, you will save yourself much grief when small things begin to change.  If you find yourself crushed because you cannot get the wedding venue you want for the date you selected, or the dress of your dreams is out of your budget, remember the most important fact: you did get the partner you want for life! That’s all that matters!
•    Make time for yourself - This suggestion confuses many brides.  I mean after all you’re planning your wedding.  Isn’t is ALL about you! The reality is, in the months leading up to the wedding,  many brides can become so consumed by the event they completely ignore their personal needs in the process.  Take at least 30 minutes everyday leading up to the event to just focus on yourself and and how you’re feeling.  Start a daily ritual, such as taking a morning walk, or sitting down to slowly enjoy your coffee while listening to your favorite song, and be sure to do it the day of your wedding.  It will make you feel more centered and calm as you prepare to walk down the aisle.

  At Lakefront Wedding we’ve committed ourselves to providing you the best service and resources for making your wedding a stress free and happy event.  Our team of dedicated professionals cover every detail and helps you meticulously plan out your big day so your only concern is showing up and looking your best.  Contact us today and find out how we can help you with your Lake Tahoe Wedding.

Ideas for a great Springtime Tahoe Wedding

Congratulations! You've answered the biggest question of your life, been given the ring and now it’s time to plan your celebration. Marriage represents a new start and fresh beginnings and what season better represents those things than spring. When choosing ideas for your lovely spring wedding, there are a few things to take into consideration;


Flowers- When it comes to Spring Weddings, flowers are rarely found just in the hands of the bride. Wedding cakes covered in flowers, flower themed wedding invitations or flower wedding favors are all ways to incorporate springs favorite bounty into your special day. Most flowers have meaning associated with them so choosing a flower that you not only love, but that has special meaning, will only add to the event. For example, Red Tulips, a spring favorite, are said to represent True Love, while Pink Tulips represent happiness and a deep caring for one another. Interested in centerpieces that have Both? Not a problem. At Lake Tahoe Weddings, our skilled team can help you find the perfect flowers to accentuate your amazing Tahoe Wedding.

Color Choices- Nothing sets the tone for your big day like the colors you choose to intertwine with the event. Pastel Colors, which pop up in the spring such as light pinks, yellows, and soft greens, provide excellent options for bridesmaids dresses, flowers, centerpieces, linens or just eye catching decorations. We found some great ideas at Martha Stewart for pastel colored, spring themed weddings.

Location- In Lake Tahoe, spring enters fresh off the heels of the snow and is always anxious to finally make an appearance. The beautiul Sierra Mountains that surround pristine Lake Tahoe are still covered with snow remnants on their high peaks. The weather is warm during the day in the sun with a crisp mountain air that creeps in at night. Wether you choose to have an indoor or outdoor wedding, we offer a variety of gorgeos wedding venue options to choose from. Perhaps you're a bride and groom who want a small intimate wedding surrounded by nature. The breathtaking shorline of Lake Tahoe, or a lookout in Emerald Bay, both offer the perfect spot to be surrounded by your most intimate friends and family.

Perhaps you want a larger wedding, with a more polished and sophisticated feel. You love the idea of an outdoor wedding but want your older guest to be comfortable indoors. Edgewood offers a bright, sunny, open location, with high glass windows that have a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe. The warmth of spring pours in and fills the room and allows you to take in the breathtaking wonder of Lake Tahoe.

Whatever type of location you prefer, contact us today to help you plan your perfect wedding.

Something Old...Something New...The origins of the best know wedding tradition

Wedding traditions are as old as the act of getting married itself. Often enough they have superstitions tied to them, such as the bride wearing white to symbolize purity, or the groom being unable to see the bride the morning of the event or else it's bad luck. You have probably heard the phrase – “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, sixpence in my shoe”. What do these things mean? Where did it come from? This rhyme came from an old English proverb meant to ward off evil. Today brides see these things as nothing more than a good luck charm to their wedding day.

Something Old – This tradition is from the Victorian era and relates to the bride’s former life and her family before she met the groom. It is not only to remind the bride of her past, but also to bring her good luck. It was usually a piece of fabric or a hanky tucked into the underclothes of the bride.

Something New – This tradition represents a new life and a hope for the future. It is a good luck charm for the promise of a wonderful married life with her new husband. The wedding gown is often chosen for this item. Although the bride can buy something small to carry with her, to put in her hair or wear elsewhere if desired.

Something Borrowed – Usually something borrowed from a happily married friend. It is meant to convey luck that the couple will live happily ever after. This item is usually something small, such as a piece of jewelry. The item borrowed has to be returned to the owner to ensure good luck.

Something Blue – This is intended to express purity, fidelity and love. This tradition began in ancient Israel when the bride would wear a ribbon of blue to symbolize the fidelity and faithfulness to her mate. In some cases, the groom would also wear a blue ribbon.

Sixpence in your shoe – The least know phrase from the original saying; this tradition is expected to give the couple a chance at good fortune and success in their marriage. Some brides today put a penny in their shoes as a good luck token, although this custom is observed mostly in European countries and Great Britain.

If one chooses, each of the good luck items can be combined, such as a bride could borrow an old object, or buy a new blue garter to wear. The choice is up to the bride and the most important aspect is that she have fun with the tradition and make it her own. Perhaps something old is the wedding venue? Consider getting married somewhere like historical Valhalla that was built in the 1920's and has rustic charm, including the original stone fireplace.


Struggling to incorporate something blue into your big day? No problem! A wedding on the shores of gorgeous Lake Tahoe might solve the problem. After all, some people believe that the native Washoe Indian translation for Lake Tahoe is "Big Water" or "Big Blue". With varying shades of blue in the lake, as far out as the eye can see, you can easily cross blue off your list.
