e + e: everline resort, lake tahoe
Elizabeth and Erik got married on a Chamber of Commerce Day for their July Wedding in Palisades, Lake Tahoe. Everline Resort is a gorgeous resort-style hotel nestled between the mountains, formerly known as Squaw Valley.
E and I worked together for close to a year to perfect her wedding palette… and I love a bride who loves to add a few drops of color. We settled on neutrals for her bridesmaids as the bridal party had gorgeous taupe, silk gowns and added peach, blush, and lavender for the wedding reception flowers.
E’s bouquet was packed to the brim in every stem I could carefully fit into the floral spiral. Florals included garden roses, anemones, astilbe, ranunculus, calycina, and added eucalyptus, plumosa, dusty miller, and Italian ruscus.
When I got to the Airbnb to drop off the bouquets, it was the sweetest set-up of ladies supporting ladies. The girls had 2000-era jams blasting on the stereo while each girl waited their turn for hair and make-up and shot candids for their social pages as the minutes ticked by for countdown.
Of all the weddings I have had the pleasure of flowering, this wedding party was some of the most supportive group of friends I have seen. The loud applause after the first-look could be heard from a mile down the road.
If you have ever seen photos from an Everline Wedding, you will know that the stunning backdrop of Palisades is where the vows are exchanged. E did not want to take away from the stunning mountain top with an arch that blocked scenery, so we opted for large floor arrangements with wispy branches for height.
Guests enjoyed classic cocktails while photos were snapped… this crew was going to have a good time and I got to see the tail end of partying when I pulled up for strike-down past 11pm!
This wedding reception had classic wedding rounds with low and wide centerpieces placed in the center. Each centerpiece was filled with roses, ranunculus, and mums with aster and bare branches sticking over the top.
Thank you E & E for letting me be a part of your beautiful day at Everline Resort.
