A Dress Worthy of a Sculpture Garden
Let's start with the gown-because how could we not? With a corseted bodice adorned in intricate lace appliqué and cloud-like, off-the-shoulder sleeves, the bride's fashion moment was ethereal-meets-high-couture. The full skirt and flowing veil added a touch of classic drama that fluttered effortlessly through sunbeams and pine shadows alike.
Photographed in both natural and moody lighting, her look told a story of softness and strength. It was romantic, timeless, and undeniably editorial.
A Ceremony That Felt Like a Forest Reverie
Held in the heart of Chalet View Lodge's signature pine grove, the ceremony space was like something from a woodland fairytale. A hexagonal arch, draped in creamy white blooms and organic greenery, framed the couple as they exchanged vows surrounded by rustling leaves and golden light.
The aisle was flanked with clusters of white roses and lanterns, drawing eyes forward while grounding the entire scene in subtle sophistication. Wooden cross-back chairs offered warmth and character-perfectly in sync with the natural palette.
Elevated Tablescape Goals
Inside the reception tent, the dinner setup gave modern rustic luxury. Long wooden tables lined with soft green runners, lush garlands, and white florals struck the perfect balance between organic and elegant. Each place setting was meticulously curated, from the glassware to the hand-lettered name cards. The ambiance? Warm and inviting with a whisper of editorial charm.
A Forest Fairytale Come True
This Chalet View Lodge wedding was everything we love about weddings in the Lost Sierra: wildly romantic, intentionally styled, and deeply rooted in natural beauty. Every detail-down to the last shimmer of candlelight--was designed to honor the couple's vision while letting the landscape speak.
If you're dreaming of a wedding that blends high design with raw beauty, let this be your muse.
