A MILLION thanks to Dana for sending me this fantabulous wedding she so beautifully captured!

Frank Sinatra is a household name…but could you imagine getting married in his house?! Jessie and Colin not only dreamed it, they did it! These two incorporated their passion for music throughout their wedding…here’s a lil’ something Jessie had to say about it:

“Being as we were at the Sinatra House, we went with what we considered a “soft” music theme. The invites were CD booklets with a custom mix of wedding jams for the guest to get on board for the big day. For the Wedding itself we wanted each guest to get an album cover that reflected our relationship to them. We used the Album booklet as our program, complete with crosswords and the history of the house. The Albums themselves we used as seating charts and menu.”

Here is the playlist that was on the CD’s mailed out with the invitations:
