What could be more romantic than a wedding brimming with white garden roses followed by a candle-lit dinner under the stars? Karson Butler Events worked their magic to create a garden party ambiance with help from talents like Laura Hooper Calligraphy and Windows Catering Company, and Amie Decker Beauty had the bride looking flawless! You can see all the lovely details captured by Abby Jiu right here.

From Karson Butler Events… Lisbeth and Dave’s wedding combined a romantic and ethereal feeling to the historic venue Decatur House on Lafayette Square – just steps away from The White House in Washington, DC. The perfectly manicured courtyard area was used for both the ceremony and dinner and provided the perfect backdrop for their desired elegant golden English garden party. A clear top tent beautifully draped with twinkle lights provided a gorgeous dinner under-the-stars feeling and also provided protection when a quick rain cloud quickly passed through. Sidra Forman created perfectly imperfect arrangements of white, cream, ivory hydrangeas, garden roses, and dahlias mixed with dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus, and lots of greenery texture. The asymmetrical chuppah with vintage lace was stunning. We loved Lisbeth’s bridal style (the Jennifer Behr headband completed the look perfectly!) and thoroughly enjoyed working with this lovely couple! The talented Abby Jiu captured the festivities beautifully.

From The Bride… Joyous, Ethereal, Romantic, and Fun- these are the words that come to mind when describing our wedding celebration. We loved the mixture of farm tables and round tables with an abundant of candles creating an ambience of an intimate candlelight dinner party. And, the asymmetrical chuppah with vintage lace, white garden roses, and greenery was one of my favorite details our florist Sidra Forman helped us bring to life. One of our favorite moments of the night was the boozy snow cone machine and the late night bar snacks we served including pigs in blankets, sliders, and soft pretzels (yum!)

Bride Lisbeth’s Favorite Wedding Detail: Sitting under the stars at dinner and enjoying the joyous moment with all of our closest family and friends.

Groom David’s Favorite Wedding Detail: The anticipation and then seeing Lisbeth at our first look. Then spending the whole day together, laughing and joking throughout pictures, which put me totally at ease before the ceremony.
