Chelsea and Lindsey had a bit of Topsy-Turvy year with their wedding plans. Originally scheduled for the bride and bride was an intimate ceremony at a rustic cabin in Lewiston Idaho. Those plans changed due to the ongoing pandemic, but that did not stop their wedding. A change was made to shift the wedding venue to Lindsey's mom's beautiful backyard.

The makeshift venue did not seem as such with all of the trimmings you'd expect from a modern wedding venue: a gazebo for the ceremony, a large backyard area for the reception, separate bridal rooms, handmade floral arrangements (by Lindsey's mom), a private room for catering, and a picturesque hedge-lined aisle for the brides to be walked down the aisle with their mothers. This is the embodiment of a DIY wedding with everything created literally in-house for their backyard wedding.

Prior to the wedding, the couple had a wedding session at a local park along the Snake River with beautiful greens and blues providing a stark contrast to their white gowns.

Following their wedding couple's shoot Lindsey suprised Chelsea by inviting Chelsea's aunt to their wedding without Chelsea being aware she was coming. This moment brought excitement, tears, and joy to both Chelsea and Lindsey.

Following the surprise, the ceremony began with the brides being walked down the aisle by their mother or aunt. The couple recited tearful vows, exchanged rings, and was sent off as wife and wife with streamers flaring by the excited guests and family members. Their love is a monument to the foundation their love was built on: steady enough to weather any storm (or pandemic).

Twin Creeks Farm

Twin Creeks Farm is located in Princeton, Idaho - just a couple miles away from Potlatch. The venue is run by Tiffany Corrao and her Husband Mark. The venue is a rustic, outdoors wedding venue with a contemporary charm. This picturesque venue has two main features, a rustic barn to be used as a reception hall and a wonderful heart shaped pond with a dock. Accompanying these features is a large bridal suite and an garden. Arriving at the venue leads you to a fork in the road. The left path takes you to the large magnificent barn and a bridal suites with lovely wood tones. The right path to a heart shaped pond suitable for an outdoors ceremony.

Bridal Suite

The bridal suite is in a building located near the barn. The bridal suite features a magnificent full wall length mirror which allows the bride and the bridal party plenty of room to get ready and inspect themselves.

Barn

The barn can host a medium sized reception with overflow into the garden behind it. Each side of the barn has large, spacious doors which adds to open airy atmosphere of the venue. The barn hosts a bar area where libations can be prepared for your guests.

Lakeside

The crowning feature of twin creeks farm is the beautiful heart shaped lake. Jetting off into the lake is a short wooden pier which gets decorated with wooden barrels and lace to fit your wedding theme. The reflection of the lake makes for an excellent spot for shooting couples and solo guest pictures. 

In Closing

Twin Creeks Farm is a wonderful rustic venue with a beautiful open aesthetic analogous to the openness of the inland northwest. If you are looking for a lovely venue in a beautiful area, I'd recommend Twin Creeks Farm.

The Palouse is home to breathtaking landscaping filled that attracts people from around the world to enjoy the nearly one-of-a-kind scenery. This blog post is designed to help you select a theme for your wedding in the Pullman / Moscow area!

Rustic

A rustic style wedding focuses on earth tones and take place in typically wooden structures like barns or cabins filled with warm incandescent light. The barns in the Palouse frequently appear in landscape art and a good location for receptions as it is a large open space to allow for seating of your guests.

While the choices for a wedding color palette is largely up to personal preference of the couple being married, I will suggest either an analogous theme that enhances the natural browns or a complementary color scheme that contrasts the wooden / rustic vibe of the venue.

For the analogous color scheme, I would focus on the colors of nature seen often in the Palouse: yellow, green, blue, and magenta.

For the complementary colors, I would recommend a split complementary color scheme of sage and sky blue.

If you’d like to play with color ideas for your wedding, I recommend on heading to color.adobe.com and experimenting. Simply put in your color your are designing around in the middle color of the wheel and you can select the color palette type you’d like to experiment with.

Twin Creeks Farms was a beautiful venue that I had the pleasure of shooting at this past weekend. If you are looking for wedding venues that are in the Palouse, check them out at:
