Music connects us all. From a simple hum to that excitement when the DJ plays your song; music gives us a sense of comfort, love and belonging. Although I haven’t planned my wedding (yet), music will definitely play a huge part! If you’re having a wedding in 2014 – these songs HAVE to be played!

How to Incorporate Music Into Your Wedding
- Have your guests request a song in your wedding invites. Bring your song cards to together and email them to your DJ. When your guests hear their favourite jam they will go crazy on the dance floor!
- Use Vinyl Covers as décor in your wedding. From Table numbers to guest books; there are endless ways to incorporate them into your day!
- Use cassettes as name cards! Decorate them with a little DIY and glitter – they will easily double up as cute wedding favours!
- Give your guests a wedding playlist in your ceremony booklet. As they listen to it from the ceremony to reception, they will be excited and ready to party! Also, it will serve as a great keepsake and reminder of how great your wedding was the day after.
