Emily & Henry’s Lake Tahoe wedding was one for the books. They rented a property right on the lake for the entire weekend, so their friends and families spent a lot of time pre-wedding relaxing on their private dock and beach, and soaking up the July sun. The house was incredible – a gorgeous cabin nestled in the woods, next to the lake – and the entire day had a very relaxed, fun, backyard yet elegant feel. One Fine Day Events and B&B Designs completely transformed the property into a stunning reception area, and Emily looked absolutely stunning in her Alexandra Greco dress. I loved the pops of color throughout the day – from her red lipstick to her yellow shoes, to the bright bouquets and table decor to the bright red bridesmaids dresses – and as a whole the day was full of lively energy and lots of excitement.
One of my favorite parts of their day was the fact that they walked down the aisle to their ceremony together. Emily met Henry at the start of the aisle and together they walked hand in hand towards their future. It was the perfect start to their fun, relaxed ceremony that was really sweet and sentimental. They started it off with a fun game that’s been circling their friend group – they hid fireball shots under the seats of their guests, and whoever was in that chair had to take the shot! They then did a ring warming ceremony so everyone participated in the celebration, and had a lot of sweet readings and nods to their families and friends.
After the ceremony, their reception was pretty epic. The setting – right by the lake under a gorgeous tent – was really unique and the view could not be beat. They had some incredible toasts by friends and family, and everyone had an amazing time dining as the sun set over the lake. I loved how immersed Emily & Henry were in their day – they were fully present with the guests and families, and it made for such a fun day for everyone. And then, to top it off, they had the craziest dance party to end the night. I adore these two and loved celebrating alongside them. Thank you so much for having me be a part of your day!
