Breaking News!

Northstar-at-Tahoe™ Resort today announced that two new movie theaters will soon open in the Village at Northstar, offering resort guests and members of the community yet another opportunity to relax and rejuvenate with friends and family when they visit the resort. Scheduled to open in December 2010, The Village Cinemas will be operated by veteran theater owners Bloomhuff Theatres, Inc. and will be the only movie theaters in the vicinity of Truckee, Calif.

The Village Cinemas will be located on the lower level of the Village at Northstar near TC’s Pub, and will feature two screens – with one theater containing 122 elevated seats, and the second containing 55 flat seats. Scheduled to be open seven days a week during the winter season, The Village Cinemas will feature Hollywood hits and a full service concession stand that will include beer and wine sales for guests ages 21+.

How cool is this?

Good Bye Wedding Season!

Sadly, Wedding season has come to an end. But don't worry, we have been collecting loads of images from this summer and will continue to post fabulous Northstar Weddings!

Plus, we have several very unique winter Weddings in our future to share with you- coming soon...

Lastly, have you RSVP'd for the Northstar Wedding Preview? Please do by November 1, we want to see you there!

And now for the good stuff: GRAY + PINK = HOT! I really like this color combination. And check out the adorable wagon filled with pinwheel escort cards- it's pink too! Now, what to do with those orange couches...well cover them of course! Brilliant! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Kline!

Lynne + Justin

You all get to suffer through my amateur shots again because I just couldn't wait to share these with you! Cool things to note:

1. The Bride made this dramatic cake / cupcake stand! Yes, that is real black lace!

2. Feathers in the flowers = sultry!

3. Money saver: See the empty vase on the table? That's because each bridesmaid will lower her bouquet (next photo) in there at her respective table after the ceremony. This savvy bride probably saved hundreds of $$$.

Way to go Lynne and Justin (and Bella too), congrats!

Mo + TJ

Ok, I have one word for this Overlook Wedding- STUNNING! Thank you enLuce Photography! See more of this gorgeous wedding at their blog. Congratulations Mo and TJ- goodluck and best wishes! xoxo

It's coming...

NORTHSTAR WEDDING PREVIEW- 11.20.10- SAVE THE DATE!!!

Yes, I know we discussed the possibility of 11.07.10, but due to some recent changes, we have now confirmed the date of Saturday, November 20th.

Festivities will probably start around noon with:

Food Tasting
Wine Tasting
Meet your Coordinator
Tablescapes and Linens
Lodging Tour
And More!

I will be emailing you all a formal invitation within a week. You may bring up to 5 guests + you. Also, we will be setting up deeply discounted lodging so that you can make a weekend out of it!

Looking forward to seeing you all again, this is going to be so much fun!

Tahoe Unveiled

Sounds Fun!

News you can use

Regarding alterations to your wedding gown, did you know taking the tags off could save you $$$... or as one of the guys in my office suggested, you could opt for a spandex wedding gown instead (one size fits all)- LOL!

 

Ana + Aaron

Shotgun Wedding! Ha, ha- you will get it if you watch this slide show of brilliant photography by Adi Nevo Photographs featuring absolutely stunning floral by Reno Tahoe Event Florist. Look at how cute these boutonnieres are! They look like mini bouquets- adorable! Also, check out their escort cards, just like from a real library- love it! Congratulations you two and great job on the wedding planning!

Martis Valley Wedding

Look at how pretty an intimate Martis Valley Wedding turns out! This location is also suitable for rehearsal dinners and after glow brunches for up to 75 guests.

If there was a vote, this would probably win "Best Place to Watch the Sunset at Northstar" because the sun sets right behind the mountain range splashing color on the valley below- gorgeous!

P.S. If you haven't viewed the comments below, you might have missed Emily Main's invitation to view fabulous shots from Angela and David's wedding on her blog. Enjoy!

More Wedding Images!

Are you tired of REAL Northstar Weddings yet? I did not think so...and today we have a special treat! In addition to the fantastic images of last Saturday's wedding at the Overlook, I snagged a photo of a beautiful head table at the Ritz Carlton, designed by A Bud and Beyond. Enjoy!

I especially like this guest book. It's like that other tree we saw this past winter but instead of ink thumbprints, you write your name on a self adhesive leaf. Cute and less mess!

Table number ideas for outdoor weddings

Light breezes at Tahoe outdoor weddings could mean fallen table number stands. While I love the pine cone idea with a paper number tucked in between the scales for a natural, earthy look, Inspired by This inspired me today too. Check it out, flat table numbers from assorted new and vintage exterior home address numbers!

Angela + David 07.23.10

So, these are just my amateur shots, but I couldn't wait for the professional photographer's to share with you- their wedding design was just so great! Enjoy, and congratulations to the happy couple!

Models Needed!

Girls, guess what? Northstar will host the photo shoot for the next issue of Real Weddings Magazine! We are talking about the COVER and a 14 page fashion editorial! The only thing missing are the models, and that could be you! What could be more appropriate than a REAL Northstar Bride on the cover? Apply here by August 15th! Good luck ladies!

Lauri + Joe

Congratulations to Lauri and Joe, married at Northstar on 07.03.10! And thank you to Ciprian Photography for these awesome photographs!

Chalkboard place cards / mats - so fun!

Look what I came across on Polka Dot Bride this morning! These chalkboard place cards that double as place mats would jive well with Tahoe Weddings, don't ya think? I also love how each table has two seats open for the bride and groom to join each table for different courses during dinner. What a unique way to interact with all of your guests!
