Lakefront weddings on Tahoe's east shore
Thunderbird Lodge is a 1936 stone estate on Lake Tahoe's quiet east shore, a National Historic Site with lawns and terraces that open straight onto some of the clearest water on the lake. There is nothing else like it in the basin.
Florals here share the stage with hand-cut granite, old-growth timber, and the lake itself. The work has to feel as considered and enduring as the architecture, never decorative for its own sake.
The estate hosts smaller, exclusive celebrations, which means the design can be detailed and architectural without getting lost. Every arrangement reads up close.
Historic estate
A 1936 stone estate and National Historic Site, with a boathouse, tunnels, and the Old Lodge set into the shoreline.
East Shore
On Tahoe's quiet Nevada east shore, framed by granite and some of the clearest, deepest blue water on the lake.
Lakefront
Ceremonies on the lawn and stone terraces open right onto the water. Design has to live up to that light and leave it unobstructed.
Intimate
The estate hosts smaller, exclusive celebrations, so florals can be detailed and architectural and still read up close.
Stone, timber, and craftsmanship define this estate. We design florals with the same sense of permanence, structural, material-forward, and built to belong to the place.
The water is the centerpiece. We keep sightlines open with height, transparency, and negative space so arrangements add to the view rather than compete with it.
Granite gray, pine green, and the deep blue of the lake. We bring whites, soft neutrals, and moments of depth that feel native to the shoreline.
No flowers flown in from overseas. Every arrangement uses blooms grown in California, from our own farm and the growers we've worked with for years.
$18,000–$32,000+
