Vintage Tahoe Wedding. Love & Library Cards.

We were recently in Lake Tahoe styling & coordinating the wedding of my childhood friend, Meaghan.  The setting at Valhalla on the south shore was totally stunning and couldn't have been more perfect for what Meaghan & Jenn were hoping to capture.  Rustic, woodsy, and really cozy and warm.  The venue fit them to a "T".  It ended up being a drizzly June day so there was nothing better than having all that candlelight and a roaring fireplace to set the scene.

These two wanted details that were really close to their hearts.  They met in a school and Jenn proposed with a book (in Tahoe) so library cards were used for seating charts, authors names were used on the tables, and chalkboards were scattered throughout.   A vintage book on Lake Tahoe served as the guest book and Girl Scout cookies were served on the dessert table recalling the nostalgia of their childhoods.  Meaghan's mom sewed all the linens (a perfectly mis-matched combo of patterns.  beautiful.) and Jenn's family created desserts for nibbling.   My sister was the maid of honor & Meaghan's brother served as best (and only) man.  It was truly a day of family, old friends, and thoughtful touches.  And then, as Meaghan went to walk down the aisle, I started to tear up.  One of my oldest friends, whose hair I ruthlessly cut and whom I relentlessly costumed in tutu's, had found more happiness than I had ever seen in her before.  Truly magic...

Thanks Meaghan & Jenn for letting me & Myka play such a special role in your big day.  And thanks to my hubs, DJ Austin Hendrix, for creating the best dance party I've seen since our own wedding, in Sayulita!

XO,
