Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2742 I think it’s so important to create the wedding that reflects you and your partner.  Often times our clients will say, do we have to do this or that?

Your wedding is unique, and should contain elements that are unique to you.  It’s so important.  I am sure that you know there are many areas which can be personalized, probably so many that I cannot list them here.  Music is one area.  There really are no rules.  Use pieces that speak to you and your partner.

Here are just a few that speak to me

 

Only a few, Hahahahaaha!

Happy planning!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2672 After I take care of my kids and my client’s, there is no time for myself.

Well, that doesn’t make sense, so I got out my ipod (which was in the deep depths of hell, by the way) – I haven’t used that thing for so long.  I put on some tunes and started exercising.  Man, it’s amazing some of the songs I have on there.  As I was listening, I was like, perfect wedding song – one right after another.

So, from my ipod to yours…enjoy

A little Marvin Gaye

Con Te Partiro with kick

2006 Old School

Plain ole’ old school

Guess I was a Celine fan at one point in my life

Selena

A little Lionel

Man, I love that song. It reminds me of home

Go Lionel!

Little Mike always works

Happy planning!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2577 Being that I am a wedding planner – it seems that I should have something profound to say.  After all, it is Valentines day.

Alas, I am speechless

Cause, what could I say as a tribute to this great day

But

Happy Valentines Day!

Okay, a poet I am not.

But here is a little song to put you in the mood – and maybe a first dance song by Martina and Jim Brickman?

Happy loving!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2525 This is a beautiful cake cutting song.  Something to just go in the background, no fan fare.

Enjoy!

Happy cutting!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2487 Hey, I’m not perfect.  What can I say?  I usually write my posts in the morning because that’s when I’m most inspired.  Well, I wasn’t inspired yesterday morning.

But while driving in the car, I got inspired!  It’s funny – the strange places you can get inspiration from.  Any who, I was driving down 270 and some songs came on, and I thought, I could see couples dancing to them.

Check these two fabulous first dance songs out…


Maybe a waltz?

This one is a little fast, but I think it speaks to love.  I’d walk a  thousand miles if i could just see you tonight.

These days anything goes!  Many of our couples have chosen faster tunes for their first dance.

Happy music choosing!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2476 I think most people love a great Luther tune.  He’s romantic and all that.  So, here is an idea for a good first dance song.

Enjoy!

Think Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan did it better?  Check it out!

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan rendition

Happy planning!

Nelson http://eleganteventdesign.com/?p=2340 I’m really not dating myself, but I love old school music.  You know, from the days where there was actually something good on TV to watch?

Check these ones out.  A combination of things.

Spandau Ballet – remember them?

A-Ha – I remember this video – during the times when they had videos on MTV

Gloria by Laura Braigan – who is  that?  This one makes me want to dance.

Happy moving!

Such a beautiful song.
