One of my passions is music - it evokes memories, it creates a great mood, it brings me personal joy.  So many wedding themes can come from music: a retro 50’s jukebox wedding, a 80’s cassette tape flashback, a classical surrender, or my favorite, good ‘ol fashioned rock ‘n roll.  What ever your favorite is, if your passion is music or you’re a secret musician at heart (like me) a music inspired wedding may just be your perfect melody.  I love how playing a certain song can bring you back to that first date, the first kiss, your first love or when you found the love of your life - from the moment you got engaged to every instance in between - music makes memories.

You’ll add touches of music to your wedding - from your walk down the aisle, to the first dance, to cutting your cake - each song you select will forever remind you of your day.  You can incorporate these elements into your wedding from the very first instance, and every where in between - from the moment your guests receive their invitations to your decor, centerpieces - even your favors and wedding part gifts.

Choose a music inspired venue.  Concert halls, jazz clubs, music & arts buildings of local schools, museums dedicated to music, hotels with music themes, record stores, or just your favorite venue you could easily decorate with music inspired touches.

Records make interesting touches, you can use them as bases for centerpieces (below) or hang them from the ceiling for a visual touch over the dance floor (above).
