Please Don't Stop The Music: Themed Weddings

The Center is mixing it up a little and revealing a "Please Don't Stop The Music" post on Friday instead of Wednesday.

These First Dance songs lend themselves to the themed wedding posts earlier this week. Enjoy, and tune in next week for another round of wedding inspiration spots!

Glamour

We recommend "Everything," by Michael Buble for your first dance at your glamorous reception.

Whimsical

 

Dance with your darling to "When I'm 64," by The Beatles at your whimsical wedding reception.

Rustic

 

In keeping with the "back yard" feel of your rustic ceremony, we suggest "Ho, Hey!" by the Lumineers for your first dance.

Please Don't Stop The Music - Recessional Songs

Last week, we delved into the topic of classical song choices for wedding ceremonies. And, just as the recessional song follows the processional song (and the procession), so have we decided to follow the classical music post from last week with a selection of celebratory tunes to play you out of your ceremony! Without further ado, please enjoy these three cheery choices for recessional tunes.

Katrina and The Waves - Walking on Sunshine

 

All You Need Is Love - The Beatles

 

I'm a Believer - Smashmouth

Please Don't Stop The Music - Processional Songs

We've posted several editions of "Please Don't Stop The Music," in the name of toe-tapping reception tunes, but this entry is a little different. One of the most important wedding tunes of all is the one playing your wedding party down the aisle on your big day. Please enjoy this guide to beautiful processional songs.

Classic

Pachelbel's "Canon in D"

Bach's "Air On a G String"

Offenbach's "Barcarolle"

and, of course, Mendelssohn's "Wedding March"

 

Tune in next week for a follow-up on ceremony recessional songs!

Please Don't Stop The Music

We believe that music and laughter are integral parts of any relationship. From your first joke and "your song" to your funny toasts and first dance as a married couple (and for many years after), you will listen and laugh together. The folks below were not satisfied with the separation of the two life-giving activities and brought them together to create these magic videos. Watch and be inspired!
