A Destination Wedding in Lake Tahoe: Cecilia & Memo’s Elegant Celebration

Cecilia and Memo’s Lake Tahoe wedding was the perfect blend of sophistication, natural beauty, and heartfelt celebration. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, this destination affair embraced the stunning Sierra landscape as its primary backdrop — allowing Tahoe’s iconic crystal blue waters to shine as a main attraction alongside the couple.

The day began with a heartfelt ceremony at St. Francis of Assisi. Following the nuptials, guests were welcomed to a breathtaking private estate with a glass of champagne in hand, beginning their descent down a magical driveway adorned with blooming flowers and a cascading waterfall that trickled into a serene brook. The natural beauty left many in awe, with plenty of selfies and group photos capturing the fairytale-like setting.

Live musicians serenaded guests as they were guided down to the lawn at the water’s edge. There, Lake Tahoe’s mesmerizing blue hues offered a picture-perfect view during cocktail hour. Decor was kept minimal to let the scenery speak for itself — a touch of boho sophistication with natural tones, letting the environment lead the aesthetic. Guests sipped cocktails and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres to the soft sounds of live jazz, immersed in the ambiance.

As the evening progressed, the couple and a saxophone player led guests down a limestone stairway to the reception. A tented area awaited them, draped in light ivory chiffon, with billowing walls and soft romantic lighting. The sweetheart table, highlighted by rattan baskets overhead and flanked by floral pillars, served as a stunning focal point.

Dinner was intimate and elegant under the glowing tent, where guests dined surrounded by love and laughter. Then came the transformation — the lighting shifted, the DJ took over, and the celebration truly began. The tent turned into a vibrant dance floor where the energy stayed high and the fiesta continued into the night.

It was a wedding that perfectly married natural beauty with stylish simplicity — a true Lake Tahoe dream brought to life.

Congratulations to Cecilia & Memo!
