Tahoe Wedding at the Chateau in Incline Village

Jessica was married at the Chateau in Incline Village in North Lake Tahoe. http://inclinefacilities.com/weddings/chateau

She wanted to include a bit of an earthy look, so along with the roses and dahlias, we added herbs, succulents and pods to the bridal bouquets and then finshed off the stem wrap with twine.

I have to say I LOVED Cal Neva! http://www.calnevaresort.com/It is an old resort hotel in Tahoe that for a time was owned by Frank Sinatra. The place has such a 60's vibe. Jessica and her wedding party stayed here before and after their wedding in Incline Village. Frank Sinatra built a theater and there are some cool caves you can tour that he had put in for himself and the "Rat Pack" to move around unseen in. Don't the groomsmen look so retro in front of the old Cal Neva sign?
Another interesting thing about Cal Neva is the hotel sits right on the California/Nevada boarder, so as you can see in the photo above, you can be in 2 states at one time.

Mexican Resort Centerpieces

Last weekend my bride Jenn flew in from New York for her Calistoga wedding. For her rehearsal she went with a Mexican theme reminiscent of a vacation in Mexico.
For the containors we used cans from our local Mexican bakery. I think they turned out darling!
