A Weekend of Laughter, Love, and Unforgettable Memories: Elisa & Duy’s Lake Tahoe Celebration
September 4, 2022
On a breathtaking September afternoon, after two years of anticipation, Elisa and Duy Tran finally celebrated their dream wedding at the stunning Edgewood in South Lake Tahoe. The weekend was nothing short of magical—filled with laughter, heartfelt vows, and moments that perfectly reflected the couple’s vibrant love story.
Elisa’s gown, designed by Hayley Paige and purchased from Janene’s Bridal Boutique, was love at first sight. The very first dress she tried on turned out to be “the one,” effortlessly capturing her style and radiance. To ensure this treasured gown remains as stunning as the day she wore it, Elisa chose Elegance Preserved’s Wedding Dress Cleaning service. Elisa shared, “I’ll never be that skinny again!”—making the gown a perfect keepsake of a truly special time.
For Elisa, preserving the dress meant safeguarding memories of countless special moments, especially their vow exchange, which brought tears, laughter, and deep connection. Their guests were treated to thoughtful and creative favors: cassettes with handwritten notes of appreciation, a Tahoe-themed coloring book for the little ones, and a delightful coincidence when “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles played just as watermelon salad was served.
Breaking away from tradition, Elisa and Duy chose fun-filled games instead of dancing. Laughter echoed as guests competed in rounds of Beat the #TraShis, Cards About Matrimony, Family Feud, and TraShi Bingo—with winners earning gift cards to their favorite spot: Taco Bell. The couple’s unique hashtag, #TraShis, a clever blend of their last names—Tran and Shieh—added a playful charm to the day.
To keep her gown in flawless condition for years to come, Elisa trusted Elegance Preserved’s Wedding Dress Preservation and selected one of their Wedding Dress Preservation Boxes. Their renowned expertise, responsive service, and attention to detail gave Elisa complete peace of mind that her cherished gown would always remain a beautiful reminder of one of the happiest weekends of her life.
