A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Kim & Jarod’s Vinyl Vision
Oooo-la and la!!! This wedding is absolutely wonderful – from the decor (yay records), to the couple’s style, to the carefree and love-filled day! I can’t wipe the smile off my face while scrolling through these images, and I hope you enjoy this sweet celebration of love!! Also, the music for the day was absolutely perfect and such a musical representation of their day! The lovebirds are in a band called Tape Waves and are avid vinyl collectors, so a musical theme definitely surfaced in their wedding!
Their photo booth backdrop was made of vintage 45’s strung together with fishing line. And instead of a traditional guestbook, they had guests sign records so Kim and Jarod could frame them and enjoy them in a unique way. Finally, the wedding favors were mix cds with a custom couple portrait stamped on the front. The wedding mix cd was as followed:
1. beach house – wedding bell (processional)
2. real estate – it’s real (recessional)
3. seapony – i really do
4. yo la tengo – stupid things
5. bright eyes – first day of my life
6. nada surf – i like what you say
7. beach house – take care
8. seapony – dreaming
9. yo la tengo – today is the day
10. colleen green – number one
11. the beatles – i will
12. the queers – the sun always shines around you
13. rogue wave – eyes
14. yo la tengo – is that enough
15. best coast – when i’m with you
16. weezer – only in dreams
