Perched high above the Seattle skyline, NEWCASTLE GOLF CLUB provided a spectacular setting for Lincoln and Alec’s elegant spring wedding. Captured beautifully by JANET LIN ANDERSEN, the day combined breathtaking views with romantic floral design, thoughtful details, and an atmosphere that felt both refined and deeply personal. With planning by EVENTS BY GENEVIEVE and lush florals by EMERALD CITY FLOWERS, every element came together seamlessly to create a celebration that was timeless, sophisticated, and full of heart.
The Bridal Style
Lincoln’s bridal look struck the perfect balance between classic elegance and modern romance. Her off-the-shoulder satin gown featured softly draped detailing across the neckline and a full skirt that moved gracefully throughout the day. A cathedral-length veil edged with delicate floral appliqué added a layer of softness while preserving the gown’s clean silhouette. The result was effortlessly refined and beautifully suited to the romantic tone of the celebration.
The bridal party complemented the aesthetic perfectly. Bridesmaids wore flowing champagne-toned gowns in varying silhouettes, creating a cohesive yet individual look. Alec and his groomsmen embraced timeless black-tie style in classic tuxedos, their formal attire providing a striking contrast to the wedding’s soft spring palette.
