Something Tahoe Blue: A Real Weddings Inspiration Styled Shoot at North Tahoe Event Center

The new issue of Real Weddings is almost here, and we couldn’t be more excited to give you a peek inside. Within its pages, we’re honored to feature three gorgeous wedding inspiration styled shoots, each highlighting talented local creative teams and real couple models.

First up is “Something Tahoe Blue,” a stunning shoot at North Tahoe Event Center designed by Carter Coberly of Honeysuckle Traditions. Her vision feels authentically Tahoe through and through, and we think you’ll agree. She says:

“This design story begins with the water.

Inspired by the iconic clarity of Lake Tahoe and its striking blue waters, the palette draws from soft alpine blues to create a calm, modern romantic foundation. These tones feel expansive and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. The intention is not to compete with nature, but to complement it — allowing the lake and mountains to remain the true focal point while layering in thoughtful texture and elevated detail.

As guests transition into cocktail hour, the energy subtly shifts. Vibrant orange accents make their entrance, inspired by the spirit of sparkling Aperol spritzes and delicate scoops of orange sherbet atop a champagne tower. These citrus tones provide a polished yet playful contrast against the serene blues. Nature remains the foundation, while every vibrant detail is introduced with intention.

Brought to life through the collective artistry of Tahoe wedding creatives, this shoot highlights how thoughtful collaboration can transform a landscape-inspired concept into a cohesive, elevated, and fun celebration.”
