A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Steven & Allison – Timeless & Traditional
I first gave a preview of this wedding last Friday after reading about the kick-ass, traditional NOLA styled cake on Love & Lavender. Something hinted that this couple had some good music to accommodate their lovely wedding celebration, so it didn’t take long to get a list of tunes and the stunning images from the talented Jamie Clayton.
what a FUN bridal party!
And here’s the story behind the cake, as found on L&L: Allison found the bird for the cake topper on Etsy and Steven’s aunt made the wedding cake the traditional New Orleans way–with charms in it! Apparently, it’s a tradition in New Orleans for the unmarried female friends of the bride to simultaneously pull ribbons out of the cake, which have silver charms attached. The charms include a ring, a heart, a thimble, a button, a horseshoe, a clover, an anchor, a dime, and a penny. Each one has a traditional meaning (the ring means next to marry, the heart means true love, the thimble means old maid, etc.). How awesome is that?!
Some of the music that was played:
Don’t Stop Believin’ In Plant Rock – A plus D
Every Bleeding Breath – Divide & Kreate
Fire and Dynamite – Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors
Move On Up – Lettuce
Feel Me Now – E-603
