Music is so important in many ways. It has the power to evoke emotions and bring you back to special moments as soon as you hear a song. This is especially true on your wedding day. If you are planning a wedding in and around Delaware, you will want to not only consider what songs you will play but also how they will be performed. A live musician for your Wedding Ceremony--like an acoustic guitarist paired with a violinist or strings like a cello or violin--can elevate your ceremony to a truly unforgettable experience.

Located in the Garden District, this elegant home is filled with opulent antiques, intricate architecture, and a sense of timeless romance.💖

💬 Let’s Talk About Ghosting! 👻

Whether you're a couple planning your big day or a vendor helping make the magic happen, one thing should always be a priority—communication! 💍✨

If plans change, a simple message goes a long way. Couples, if you've decided to go in a different direction, let your vendors (including your venue!) know. Vendors, the same goes for you—couples deserve updates and transparency.

A quick “thank you, but we’re moving in another direction” lets folks know what is happening and keeps good energy all around. 💕

Grooms attire: if your wedding ceremony is taking place outdoors--such as a scenic farm or garden--consider slightly more relaxed attire. A dress shirt with suspenders, no jacket, or a light vest can create a charming, laid-back vibe.

Groomsmen shouldn't be dressed in the same exact colors as the bridesmaids, but their outfits should complement them. Here's a great example: ties match the color of bridesmaid dresses. 💗
