Music to Your Ears

One of the best things about music is that it can enhance or change your mood in an instant. You might feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster while planning your wedding – one minute, you’re exuberant as you envision your future together, but the next minute, you’re stressed, because choosing wedding cake flavors and trying to figure out how many bottles of pinot grigio your Aunt Barbara is going to want to drink at the reception is DIFFICULT, y’all.

So, to help you remedy these fluctuating emotions, we’ve crafted two playlists of (mostly) love songs on Spotify. One of them is intended to bring you a sense of calm amidst the chaos if you’re feeling jittery. The second one contains upbeat, catchy hits that you and your bridesmaids can sing along and dance to while you get your makeup done and prepare to walk – sashay like Bey – down the aisle.
