On May 1st, Carl House was transformed into Laura Schwarb and Ed Phillip’s own private oasis. Standing in front of a dimly lit exotic garden complete with an atrium draped in delicate peonies, orchids and freesias, the couple stood hand-in-hand as they recited their vows and professed their love for one another. As man and wife took their first kiss as a married couple, guests watched in anticipation as Ed gently slipped Laura’s arm into his own and lead his wife down an aisle scattered with white and pink petals; everything about this night was truly special.

Although intended as an indoor ceremony due to the uncertainty of the weather, the bride was so inspired by the garden and beautiful spring weather, with only minutes to spare, the wedding ceremony was brought outside, the Carl House team showing that no detail was too small to create a bride’s perfect evening.  From the unique shade of the floor-length bridesmaid dresses to the raspberry and pink floral arrangements, Laura made this wedding her own. The beauty of the wedding’s decor made it even more apparent that Laura approaches all projects with dedication and compassion, a sure sign of a successful marriage.

Tables garnished with three-feet tall centerpieces made up of hydrangeas, orchids, roses and hanging candles courtesy of TruSo Weddings allowed the mood from the outdoor ceremony to continue into the ballroom with elegance and grace. Dozens of small dimly-lit candles placed carefully around the reception created an intimate feel to celebrate the new bride and groom. The beaming couple and guests dined on herb grilled chicken and honey glazed ham, danced to the tunes of A Sound OccasionDJ, sipped on peach martinis and finished with a three-tier white cake created by Bill Rhodes bakery.

Overall, Laura and Ed made their celebration at Carl House unique and personal as demonstrated by the poem that accompanied a small silver bell for each guest:

“Let wedding bells sound a chorus, They ask the bride and groom before us, To share a kiss of harmony, And bring true joy to all we see.”
