tuesday tunes is a regular occurrence on this blog each week, so i thought i'd keep that consistent even within 31 days. so -- each tuesday will have something to do with wedding planning + music!today is all about the pre-ceremony. i am a firm believer that music can set the tone and mood of a space like nothing else, so it's important to think about what you are trying to create! do you want people to enter your wedding in a somber, quiet, reflective way? or do you want more of a social, festive gathering?
one of the first things we decided about our wedding was that we want it to be a CELEBRATION. we don't want people to feel like they have to be stiff or silent as they arrive (we're even putting "come early to mix + mingle" on our invitations!) we've got some surprises i don't want to ruin, but let's just say the mood we're trying to create is JOY.
i've got a hunch that sometime before everything gets started these songs will get played. it's a special ep one of my favorites (mumford & sons) put out under an alter ego -- "the wedding band"... you can't tell me this doesn't get you excited to celebrate some marriage vows!
*marisa's marks: think about the tone you are creating for your day. don't be afraid to give your guests a glimpse into your personality and musical preference as a couple, and pick songs that reflect who you are!
everything from 31 days to rachael ray cooking (yes!) to 31 days of yoga to 31 days to a no brainer wardrobe.

Hi Marisa! Thanks for the shout-out to my 31 days of yoga.
I'm loving your series and *so* wish I'd read something like this before I got married. Have a blast with your planning!!
