This intimate 50th birthday party was absolutely perfect. Robin walked into a pastel brunch dream and the look of surprise on her face said it all. From the flower bouquet bar, and special robin-themed touches, to the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, it was an afternoon I’ll be thinking about for years to come.

Let me start off by saying, there is no right way to have a wedding. Just like your love is unique, no two wedding ceremonies are the same. If you want to limbo down the aisle or ride down the aisle on a gorgeous white stallion (epic) that is entirely your prerogative. Just know that whatever you choose will be perfect because it is your wedding day! That being said, I do have some tips and tricks to help you figure out exactly how to pick your perfect ceremony songs. Let’s get to it.

Kendall + Reid are absolute beams of light and their wedding day was so reflective of their joy and love for each other. It was an honor to be a part of this day, sing them down the aisle, and plan out all the details with Kendall. They chose some really beautiful songs that were important to their love story, building a family and life together, and their faith.

I’ve got two words to describe this September wedding: elegant, and fun! It was truly the perfect combination of class, and lightheartedness. From the minimalist floral ceremony backdrop, to the cheery wildflower place cards, Meghan & Russel really let their personalities shine while also creating a timeless scene. I have no doubt that their grandchildren will look back on these photos and think “Wow, this wedding could have taken place 50 years ago or yesterday. Also my grandma is a serious babe.”

When I think of Brittany and Lisa’s wedding I think glam, romantic, and fun. I also think, “wow how lucky was I to get to play on two gorgeous grand pianos in one night?!”. Lisa and Brittany are huge music lovers and had a clear vision of the atmosphere they wanted to create from the beginning of the night all the way through the end. I began by playing soft welcome music inside the lavish parlor as guests arrived for the ceremony (grand piano #1). They walked through the parlor out into the courtyard for the ceremony to watch these two sweeties tie the knot! After the ceremony, I played some upbeat pop covers outside for the cocktail hour like “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn, “Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake, and “How Deep is Your Love” by The Bee Gees. The guests mingled and enjoyed a few drinks in the beautiful courtyard, then it was time to move inside to the ballroom for dinner.

This church wedding ceremony was the epitome of traditional romance with a touch of Christmas magic. Honestly, I don’t know what’s better than a Christmas wedding. They’re basically a Hallmark movie come-to-life and I am 100% HERE for it.
