With one of our Tahoe ski wedding packages you can ski or snowboard to your choice of secluded spot overlooking the majestic, cobalt-blue waters of Lake Tahoe and then take your vows.  After the ceremony, you are invited to make your first tracks as husband and wife, preferably holding hands (failure to turn at the same time may lead to the first marital disagreement).  The Lake Tahoe basin is perfect for ski weddings because there are a wide variety of ski resorts to choose from.

How dreamy to have snow falling down when you saw your vows during a Lake Tahoe winter wedding! This is exactly how Sally and Ashton’s wedding went during the winter months here at Tahoe Mountain Wedding Chapel in South Lake Tahoe, CA. There is something so romantic and  magical about the snow and the earth just covered in fresh snow for your winter wedding in Lake Tahoe.

If you are not sure how to dress for a Lake Tahoe winter wedding think about you and your sweetie in the elegant look of old Hollywood; the groom in tails, and the bride in a white long silk dress with a white fur or faux fur wrap. Evoke the season with “ice” diamonds or diamond-like jewelry. 90% of wedding dresses are strapless or sleeveless, but that’s not so practical for a bride who wants to take pictures outside, or needs to walk any distance. Look for wraps, shrugs, and capes, or dramatic coats. I’ve always loved the look of a bride in a white dress and a large red shawl, huddled against her groom who has a red boutonnière. And don’t forget your bridesmaids! An attractive wrap to wear on the day of your wedding and beyond makes a great bridesmaid present.

For a romantic Lake Tahoe winter wedding look for a venue with a fireplace. A fireplace makes for an intimate Tahoe winter wedding. For a larger affair, you may be able to use a historic mansion or private club that will still have intimate warmth.

Unless you’re getting married in a state that will have guaranteed snow during your wedding date, avoid a room that has a large picture window. You may imagine drifts of beautiful snow, and end up with a grey rainy day. Be sure to ask what seasonal decorations they use – you’ll save money as many sites are already heavily decorated. Also, check to make sure your site will be adequately heated during the winter months; some old venues can be especially drafty.

If you are planning a reception afterwards, you can have all of your favorite food but add some winter touches like a squash dish, or warm pumpkin soup. Consider serving eggnog, spiced wine, or hot chocolate (alcoholic or non-) as special treats. Look for an all-white cake, decorated with snowflake patterns, silver embellishments, or sugar sculptures. Our staff will help finding the just the right caterer.

When planning a Tahoe fall wedding it is easy for a bride to feel trapped into a certain wedding style theme. A lot of brides feel bound to a certain palette of brick or russet to terra cotta. And that they have to include autumn leaves as part of their decoration when planning their wedding color theme. However, our staff here at Tahoe Mountain Wedding chapel say that is not so.

Nowadays, a bride no longer has to use leaf hues for a perfect Tahoe fall wedding. It is their belief that some bridal couples tend to rely too heavily on fall and earth tone that are commonly found in the fall months in their wedding décor. For brides who want to lighten their wedding color palette we suggest you consider other rich and glamorous hues. Here are a few examples our staff at Tahoe Mountain Wedding Chapel has used successfully in the past, plum and aborigine colors combined with shads of cream and blush. Or if that does not appeal to you consider classic navy blue paired with a glam shade of gold. However if you really want brown for your Tahoe fall wedding you might want to consider using mocha or cappuccino hues rather than the usual chocolate. The mocha and cappuccino hues combine beautifully with black, cream and yes! Even red is great.

Just remember this when planning a Tahoe fall wedding you can use any color you desire from bright colors to baby pastels, as long as you remember to combine the lighter shade with a darker hue to create balance.  For example, Tiffany blue with mocha is a great combination. Or hot pink with charcoal gray is wonderful.  However, if you really want to use some classic fall hues for your Tahoe fall wedding  highlight them with fresh unexpected tints like brunt orange, and a deep gold hue, with mango and fuchsia colors threaded throughout to create your perfect Tahoe fall wedding.
