Effortless Elegance, Minimalist Florals and Dusty Blue Details at Alderbrook Resort and Spa

Star Fischer and Eli Craig’s love story began in high school, although it wasn’t until 20 years later at a holiday party that sparks flew. After the couple had dated for three years, Eli proposed poolside during a New Year’s celebration at Leavenworth’s Posthotel. Their wedding at Alderbrook Resort was thoughtfully designed to honor the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest as well as reflect their love for family. The day began with a touching waterside ceremony, for which Star’s children walked her down the aisle. Fresh, whimsical florals lined the aisle, and at the altar, a flourishing garden-inspired arch of white and cream blooms adorned with verdant greenery framed the couple as they exchanged vows. During the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed the venue’s scenic grounds, set up with cocktail and bistro tables for mingling, delicious bites and lawn games for the kids. Dinner was held under a clear-top tent strung with café lights that cast a warm, inviting glow as the sun set. Embossed dusty blue linens, wooden chairs and minimalist floral arrangements created an effortlessly elegant tablescape. Layered textures, including natural wood candlesticks, rattan candleholders, and delicate blooms, infused the space with warmth. The effect was both timeless and refined, perfectly capturing Alderbrook’s organic beauty, which feels both sophisticated and inviting.
