Feast & Festivities

Here’s a wedding planning task I can’t do for you but it’s ok because it’s fun: get started now on building your playlist of songs you want to hear on your wedding day. From getting ready, to walking down the aisle, to your first dance and last dance (and all the moments in between), music sets the mood. And if you listen to those songs over again leading up to your wedding day, you’re bound to make them more memorable along the way. Remember the journey, not only the day 💫
