Rachel and Josh faced a disaster less than a month before their Coeur d’Alene wedding: the main focal point at Settlers Creek, the huge historic red barn, completely burned down. This creative couple didn’t panic and their stunning outdoor celebration was rebuilt from the ashes, featuring a rustic gazebo, rural atmosphere, and elegant marquee setup. We love the bride’s incredibly fashionable wedding dress from BHLDN contrasted with the casually understated but sophisticated décor. Floral design by Briar and Bloom created a gorgeously neutral color palette of greenery and ivory florals heavily inspired by the bridesmaids’ mink grey dresses. Kat Skye Photography captured so many details and heartfelt moments from this elegant wedding, from the bride’s father serenading the couple on the dance floor to a cozy family-style reception dinner.

The Wedding:
Settlers Creek, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

The most important thing to us was to create a weekend that represented who we are as a couple and that we integrated our communities of family, friends, and loved ones into our lives as we became a unit. For us, that meant being intentional with selecting everything from who we wanted to stand by our side at the alter, to the music, to the decor. We wanted the wedding to be about celebrating our love, and we wanted to be able to be present in the moment during the entire day.
