Mallorie and Logan’s glam, vintage inspired Downtown Boise Idaho Wedding at The Lively felt like it belonged on the pages of a 90s Vogue magazine. No, seriously. I am not kidding. The moment I saw Mallorie’s Chantilly lace gloves and matching Chantilly lace veil, I swooned. Not to mention the corset on her all silk wedding dress. Texting Mallorie for weeks leading up to their wedding celebration felt just like texting my best friend. Between the two of us, we were bouncing ideas off one another about location ideas, wedding day accessories, detail photos, and more. My favorite weddings feel like this: a perfect collaboration of creativity. And this was exactly that!
A fresh, modern wedding venue: The Lively in Boise Idaho
As soon as The Lively in downtown Boise opened, I had a hunch it would be a hit Boise wedding venue. Unlike a lot of the rustic, country wedding venues outside of Boise, The Lively offers a modern, clean aesthetic that makes it stand out. There are so few options in Boise for couples searching for modern Boise Wedding Venues. For couples planning a Downtown Boise Idaho Wedding, The Lively is a one stop shop. What makes The Lively so special is their exceptional service, luxury feel, incredible food, and true authenticity. Every member of their service staff truly cares about their guest experience and the product they deliver. The Lively offers a full buyout of the entire multi-story restaurant. A full buy out includes the downstairs bar, the secret Bar Gibbons speak easy bar, the upstairs dining room, and the grand staircase. Imagine having free reign of an entire restaurant for your wedding! Also, I can confidently say that if you are a foodie, getting married at a restaurant guarantees the best wedding meal you’ve ever had. A full buy-out of the entire restaurant fits up to 120 guests and includes an event coordinator!
Bold Wedding Fashion & Design: Brown, Rust, and Red Hues
The top 2026 trend of the year? RED! Vibrant pops of red hues such as burgundy, rust, and brown have made waves. If you are a bold couple and want to make a statement, red is the perfect color to do that. And at a wedding venue like The Lively with a modern, clean interior, red definitely stands out. Mallorie and Logan chose a chocolate cake with brown frosting. They told me they didn’t want a “boring white cake like everyone else”. I loved the way their perfect vintage style complimented the pops of red within the elegant space! Planning a downtown Boise Idaho wedding doesn’t mean “settling”. Downtown Boise is COOL!
