Danielle Fishel + Jensen Karp Wedding Details

I promised a post on the Jensen and Karp wedding, so here you go. Their wedding inspires me in ways I cannot explain. This couple went to great lengths to please not only the bride, but every person who attended.  

A Custom Logo

It began with a custom logo created for the couple by Clark Orr of CODC Studio. CODC specializes in graphic branding, bringing their designs and illustrations to life for companies seeking a blend of clever fun and classic design. For Danielle and Jensen, Clark created a block-print graphic featuring a pair of intertwined wedding bands set in a modern knot surrounded by two fish. The couple used this personalized logo for all their wedding stationery.  

A Romantic Venue

When a venue cradles a wedding as beautifully as Carondelet House cradled the Karp wedding, words fall short. Exposed brick, Italian architecture with subtle Art Deco flourishes, an eclectic collection of grand chandeliers, large farmhouse windows, and a cabin-in-the-woods fireplace. Everything a couple needs to shelter their friends and family in warmth and love. Exterior courtyards and rustic interiors provided effortless backdrops for frameable photos. Cozy table settings featured sliced pomegranates, green pears, citrus tree foliage, and gorgeous rose blossom bouquets. Gold tumblers, smoky purple wine glasses, and rose gold tableware exuded rustic romance. Customized cowboy napkins featured place cards and fun facts about the couple.  

Karp Wedding Flourishes

Danielle offers solid advice in her interview with GWS*: "Make as many details specific to the two of you as you can...those were the details that people commented on the most because they were unique to our wedding." The couple dispensed with several traditions, including toasts and speeches, parent dances, cake cutting, and obligatory photo ops. "...I just wanted everyone to have an amazing time and not be interrupted with more words and photo opportunities I don’t love anyway..." she told GWS. In addition to these personal touches, Danielle set her vendors free. Rather than micromanaging her florist and caterers, she gave them a few guidelines and let them run wild. For this reason, her bouquets and floral centerpieces included uncommon elements. Pampas grass plumes, vintage roses in shades of white, burgundy, and peach. Also, an elaborate hanging centerpiece over the nuptial altar featuring grasses, pampas blooms, fall foliage, and white roses. I could go on and on about this wedding.

I hope you are too. *Thanks to Green Wedding Shoes for the in-depth coverage of the Fishel-Karp wedding.
