Whether to a backdrop of sparkling blue waters, tall fragrant pines, or surrounded by snow in one of the many elegant venues, a destination wedding at Lake Tahoe can provide the perfect setting for a lifetime of memories.
If you are looking for a spectacular place to say your “I Do’s”, Lake Tahoe is a premier spot to begin your new lives together. Here is our guide on how to plan the perfect Lake Tahoe destination wedding.
Get the Right Rentals
-
Tent
Weather at this high-alpine lake can be unpredictable. Whereas the skies can be bright and sunny in the morning, it can be pouring rain or blowing wind by the afternoon. Planning a wedding with a tent can provide shade from the sun and protection from unexpected weather.
Tent rentals can also add a nice touch to your wedding, infusing elegance and dimension into the event. Stare up at the stars under a Clear-top tent, or go for the classic drapes and decor with a Tidewater tent.
-
Dance Floor
A hallmark of any wedding, having a dance floor can set the basis for a memorable night. Whether inside or outside, renting a dance floor can give your guests a solid place to cut loose, whether you go with modern oak, classic white, or fun black and white checkers.
-
Essentials
Not only do you need to have the tables and chairs to support the ceremony and reception crowd, but you also need to make sure you have all the extra items that can often be missed. Extra tables for dessert, cocktail hour, gifts, drinks and appetizers are often forgotten. Trash cans (especially for outdoor venues), tableware, linens, and heaters or fans are other items that need to be considered when planning your wedding.
Choose the Perfect Theme
Whether you’ve always pictured a classic wedding or have a more modern outlook, picking the perfect wedding theme and colors can set the basis for your decor and venue. Here are some of the seasons hottest trends!
-
Woodland
Choosing a Woodland theme for your wedding is perfect for the evergreen forests surrounding Lake Tahoe. By setting the ceremony in a rustic lodge venue and celebrating the reception in the forest, you will create an ethereal atmosphere. Long wooden tables with berry or forest green accents add a rustic element, while cafe lights add a dreamy glow.
