Tori + Cameron's Lake Tahoe Wedding

Tori and Cameron married at the beautiful Granlibakken Hotel in Lake Tahoe this past June. Their aesthetic was quintessential Lake Tahoe needing little to no additional decor to accent the beautiful evergreen forest surroundings.

Tori fell in love with the Jodene gown by Lis Simon. When asked to describe her shopping experience at LWD, Tori says, “My gown shopping experience was beyond amazing! Megan was my stylist and she knew exactly what I wanted! She was incredible and helpful from the day I booked my appointment. I felt like I knew her before I even got to LWD because of her communication and investment in helping me find my dress beforehand! The first dress I tried on ended up being my dress and we were all in tears (typical, but unexpected for me especially since it was the first dress I tried on!).”

Congratulations Tori and Cameron! Read on for more about their wedding day!

LWD: How did you end up deciding on your Lis Simon wedding dress? What did you love most about your dress?

Tori: My gown shopping experience was beyond amazing! Megan was my stylist and she knew exactly what I wanted! She was incredible and helpful from the day I booked my appointment. I felt like I knew her before I even got to LWD because of her communication and investment in helping me find my dress beforehand! The first dress I tried on ended up being my dress and we were all in tears (typical, but unexpected for me especially since it was the first dress I tried on!). I wanted a simple, classic gown with a detailed back and silhouette that showed off my curves. As soon as I saw the dress on the rack I knew it was the one. Putting it on only solidified my choice! My favorite part of the dress was the lace detail down the back. I'd never seen anything like it and I felt so confident and beautiful which was how I wanted to feel on my wedding day!

LWD: What was your favorite part of your wedding day?

Tori: My favorite part of my wedding day was a combination of getting ready with my girls in the morning, my first look with my husband and the ceremony itself. There was so much vulnerability, emotion, intensity and love that everyone felt so deeply. It's hard to put into words, but it truly was the BEST day of my life and the pictures help me relive it every time I look at them!

LWD: Do you have any advice for brides going through the process of finding their wedding dress?

Tori: Try a dress you don't think you will like, you never know!! Bring people who will be honest and supportive because you need the brutal honesty and the confidence boost! Ultimately go with your heart, you'll know when you know! Also, ENJOY the process! It's so much fun and you only experience it once!

LWD: Anything else you want to share?

Tori: It's true what they say: It really is the best day of your life. It goes by way too fast. It takes a village. You experience an immeasurable amount of love, gratitude and happiness that you will remember for the rest of your life
