Lovely Lake Tahoe Wedding at the Erherm Mansion

 The beautiful Erherm Mansion Lake Tahoe California

 The wedding was on the lawn of the Erherm Mansion sitting on the edge of Lake Tahoe

 My beautiful bride and her brides bouquet, made up of peonies, fressia, orchids, roses, delphinium

 The handsome groom, his boutonniere was made of a roses, dusty miller and blue delphinium

 Bride and bridesmaid flowers

 To coordinate with the beautiful surroundings of Lake Tahoe, we created the wedding centerpiece to sit on a piece of drift wood using moss, hydrangeas, succulents and orchids.

Heather called me from her home in Texas, she wanted flowers for her wedding in Tahoe.  We used a muted pallet and added a touch of feathers.

Heather had hoped for an outdoor wedding in Tahoe, but snow brought it all indoors.

I choose a tall glass vase and added interest by putting curly willow and orchids in the base. Then a full floral with tulips, hydrangeas, protea, scabiosa sat on top. I then used more curly willow with orchids attached  to create an arch for the couple to be married under.

So sweet

Beautiful flower girl.

Amnesia roses, calla lilies, fern fronds, peonies, protea and scabiosa made up the bridal bouquet

The bridal bouquet was finished off with soft ostrich feathers

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.
