Music Monday: Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

Today's Music Monday is brought to you by our friends at Sam Hill Entertainment. We love working with them and pairing their bands with our couples.

The Georgian Terrace in December 2011.

From Sam Hill Entertainment's vantage point as the link between the couple and their wedding band, we put our eyes on a lot of special song requests. From the traditional to modern, tried-and-true to out of left field, we've seen them all -- and our bands have learned and performed them.

A newly married couple's first dance is a beautiful moment, one that everyone in attendance will remember. It can reflect a special meaning to the couple, or just be a classic love song. Here are some suggestions for first dance songs that are cool, aren't cheesy…and are easy to dance to.

Something old: Van Morrison's "Moondance" never disappoints. It's simple, beautiful & timeless.

Something new: Jack Johnson's "Better Together" is a laid back favorite.

Something borrowed: The President's impromptu rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" has given this classic new life.

Something blue: Brad Paisley's cover of Ryan Adams' "When the Stars Go Blue" has always been a big hit as a first dance number for the Jangling Reinharts. 

StudioWed Atlanta Open House

Come see me this afternoon from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. at StudioWed Atlanta for this month's Open House. It's a free event for engaged couples to get one on one time with some of Atlanta's top vendors and inspiration for their upcoming wedding. Would love to see you there!


StudioWed is located at 1000 Marietta Street, Suite 216, Atlanta, GA 30318. We're located in the same building as 5 Seasons Brewery in West Midtown, just across the street from Octane Coffee. Park on the upper deck and walk down. 


Can't wait to see you there!

Real Atlanta Wedding: Gudrun and Todd

Weddings are sad for me.

I know... I know... Yes, they are amazingly happy occasions when the couple starts their new life as a married couple. That part is happy.

But I am often sad because that means I don't get weekly or monthly check ins with them anymore!

So, I find myself watching the slideshows of weddings past as a reminder and connection to the people who have touched my life during their wedding planning process.  This week I am remembering Gudrun and Todd.
Their wedding was at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center in June 2011. As we approach the one year anniversary mark for Gudrun and Todd's wedding, I find myself viewing their wedding video again.

Here it is. What a fantastic, and fun group. I miss them. I hope your first year has been amazing.
