Nestled in the serene landscapes of North Tahoe, Lake & Wood in Placerville offers a picturesque backdrop for couples seeking a dreamy outdoor wedding experience. With its rustic charm and elegant ambiance, this idyllic venue sets the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration. Let's explore how the rural scenery of Apple Hill wedding venues, combined with modern rustic aesthetics, make for a memorable wedding celebration.

Modern Rustic Ceremony Rentals

The foundation of any event lies in its rentals, which can either enhance or detract from the desired aesthetic. At Lake & Wood in Apple Hill, we understand the importance of selecting the perfect elements to bring your vision to life. For your ceremony, embrace the timeless appeal of wood furniture, which seamlessly blends with the surrounding woodsy vibe. Opting for light wood furniture keeps the atmosphere airy and bright, striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern elegance.

To elevate the scenery, adorn your ceremony space with seasonal foliage and whimsical floral decorations. Whether affixed to your backdrop or lining the aisle, these natural accents add a touch of enchantment to your surroundings. For an extra cozy ambiance, consider lining the aisle with layered mismatched vintage rugs, creating an inviting path for your journey to the altar.

Cozy-Chic Tablescapes

Moving to the reception, carry the rustic aesthetic over to your tablescapes while infusing them with a touch of old-world elegance. Soften wood banquet tables with romantic runners that gently sway in the breeze, adding a whimsical flair to your dining experience. Meanwhile, bright floral centerpieces and colorful vintage glassware will beautifully contrast the warm wood accents.

To maintain a modern look, incorporate shimmering gold metallics via chargers, china, or flatware – a detail that will lend a touch of opulence to the rustic surroundings. Whether you opt for subtle accents or bold statements, striking the right balance ensures a captivating dining experience that captivates the senses.

Elevate Your Wedding Cuisine

While traditional outdoor celebrations often feature casual fare, consider elevating your dining experience with a thoughtfully curated menu that delights the palate. Instead of predictable barbecue and potatoes, tantalize guests' taste buds with a farm-to-table-inspired feast. From appetizers served on grazing boards to mains featuring whole roasted vegetables and locally sourced meats.

Dessert can also be a visual delight, featuring a spread of seasonal fruit-topped cupcakes, tarts, and locally-made cookies displayed on tiered stands. Offering a variety of sweet treats ensures there's something for everyone to savor, creating a memorable conclusion to the culinary journey.

Memorable Reception Details

At Lake & Wood, the opportunity to create unique and memorable experiences is endless. One of the most popular choices is to feature a mobile bar for an elevated cocktail experience. For the perfect pairing, we also recommend one or several lounge areas. A detail that is not only thoughtful but will encourage guests to sit back, relax, and mingle.

Depending on the season, you might also consider a fun interactive wedding favor. Take for example a DIY flower bouquet station! This will be a unique experience that is not only entertaining but will provide guests with an elegant and sustainable keepsake to cherish.

With its rustic charm, elegant ambiance, and breathtaking scenery, Apple Hill wedding venues offer the perfect backdrop for couples seeking a magical outdoor wedding experience. From the ceremony to the reception, let us help you craft a celebration that's as unforgettable as it is enchanting. Reach out today to book a tour!
