Lake Tahoe Wedding: Alyssa & James' Adventure-Filled Celebration at Round Hill Pines Beach Resort

Alyssa and James share a love for adventure, exploring new places, and taking long, meandering drives. Whether it’s hiking through state parks, discovering hidden gems in Napa or Sonoma, or enjoying a quiet day with their dog, Emma, the couple thrives on new experiences. Their shared passion for travel has led them to road trips, including two cross-country drives, all while bonding with their furry companion.

Emma, their 2-year-old golden retriever, has already been to 23 states and has become an integral part of their family. When they’re not venturing out on new adventures, they’re enjoying quality time together, from cozy moments at home to hikes around Lake Tahoe.

Why Round Hill Pines Beach Resort is the Perfect Lake Tahoe Wedding Venue

Lake Tahoe holds a special place in James’ heart. Growing up, he visited the area several times each year to snowboard and spend time on the lake with his family. Alyssa and James began their own tradition of visiting Lake Tahoe in 2017, and it quickly became a yearly ritual. The couple shares a love for the area, from the hiking trails to biking paths, and they cherish the time spent with family during the winter holidays.

When it came time to plan their wedding, the couple was initially torn between eloping and hosting a larger celebration. After considering their options, they decided Round Hill Pines Beach Resort was the perfect spot—close to James’ family’s townhouse and offering a relaxed yet stunning setting for a lakeside celebration. The venue's proximity made it the ideal place to create lasting memories while allowing for some extra splurges on other aspects of their day.

Whimsical & Modern Wedding Decor: Vibrant Color Palette and Floral Arrangements

For their wedding, Alyssa and James envisioned a colorful, modern affair full of joy and personality. The vibrant citrus color palette, featuring bright oranges, zesty yellows, and rosy pinks, was complemented by the romantic hues of lilac and periwinkle, creating a dynamic and playful atmosphere.

The floral arrangements reflected this whimsical vision—wild, sweeping blooms that blurred the lines between curated elegance and organic beauty, evoking the carefree spirit of their celebration. The lake's breathtaking backdrop only added to the vibrant energy that filled the air.

Unique Wedding Traditions: Personal Touches and Dog Flower Girl

Alyssa and James took a unique approach to their wedding, incorporating special personal touches throughout the day. Their golden retriever, Emma, proudly served as the flower girl, making her way down the aisle wearing a floral collar. This joyful moment set the tone for a celebration filled with lightheartedness and fun.

In a break from tradition, James chose to have a woman of honor, and the bridesmaids were invited to wear dresses of their choosing in various shades of citrus, adding to the wedding’s fresh, modern vibe. Alyssa also opted for both of her parents to walk her down the aisle, creating a deeply personal and meaningful moment.
