A continuing effort here at the "World" is to provide suggestions for wedding music: from ceremony to reception and from tradtional to way out there. Today's suggestions are inspired by our brilliant bride of this past weekend, Amber (who married Trevor at a gorgeous Williamsburg Winery ceremony followed by a delectable and personal reception). Amber infused meaningful, touching selections into the entire day, and brought this wedding coordinator to tears more than once.
If you're keeping track, you're right - that was our third bride named Amber this year. And we've loved them all!
The rest of the suggestions are from this month's Martha Stewart Weddings. It's a good list, and as always a great issue, so grab a copy!
Incidentally, by virtue of having the most and best reviews by former clients in our region on her new partner site, weddingwire.com, Williamsburg Wedding Design ranks first when you search for wedding planners in Williamsburg, Virginia on Martha's wedding site. See for yourself!
