As you know, I am a wedding planner with a serious love for music.  Celebrate YOUR love, your upcoming wedding, and last night's Grammy winners with these love songs: The Arcade Fire (Congrats indie faves!  Let's hope your fans can still afford your concert tickets!) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ZenaNpN4g&w=425&h=349] Muse (I already can't get tickets to see these guys, but my love with this band is an everlasting love.) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQuOkQyezU&w=425&h=349] And last but not least, Philadelphia's favorite son, John Legend! (When he's talking about "the park" in this song, do you think he means Rittenhouse or Washington Square?) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbNesQeods&w=560&h=349] These...

I periodically like to write about alternative wedding songs – new, independent artists, forgotten gems, lesser known cover songs, and quite a bit of Springsteen. If you’re an alternative bride and music aficionado and have suggestions, please e-mail me at natalie (at) nataliediener.com. I’m always looking for new music! Wonderful Tonight Eric Clapton, 1977 The original really has it all – Clapton’s guitar prowess, beautiful lyrics, and a tempo that anyone can dance to, even if you have two left feet. If you love this song, but would like an...

This past Sunday was the Lovesick Wedding Expo.  Tom and Jon from Hi-Society Entertainment promised a fun, bridal show extravaganza like no other, and boy, did they deliver!  Venue host, World Cafe Live, was full to the brim with alternative vendors, young upstart companies, unique ideas, beautiful displays, and - best of all - the raffle produced over $800 for the local non-profit Children Can Shape the Future. The theme for my little 4-foot space was "Recycled Music Thrift" - playing off the rock and roll location and the day's ecofriendly...

If you’re an alternative bride and music aficionado and have suggestions, please e-mail me at natalie (at) nataliediener.com. I’m always looking for new music! I love Bruce Springsteen. Not quite as much as I love my fiancé or my father, but as a closer runner up. As a bride in Philadelphia myself, I am inexplicably drawn to the Jersey Shore when selecting music for my own...

I'm periodically going to write about alternative wedding songs – new, independent artists, forgotten gems, lesser known cover songs, and quite a bit of Springsteen. If you’re an alternative bride and music aficionado and have suggestions, please e-mail me at natalie (at) nataliediener.com. I’m always looking for new music! Some songs are timeless… which means that they will be popular first dance songs until the end of time. You cannot deny the appeal of those romantic melodies and beautiful lyrics. If you are planning a unique wedding...

[caption id="attachment_39" align="alignright" width="198" caption="Let the music play"][/caption] iAM currently planning an "iPod wedding" - a wedding that will feature a portable mp3 player instead of a disc-jockeying, announcement-making, dancefloor-shaking Master of Ceremonies. Maybe you have an allergic reaction to the Chicken Dance, want an alternative music option, or simply looking to save a little money on your Big Day. An iPod wedding does have its benefits, but take a few tips before plugging in (and tuning out). 1) An iPod alone does not an iPod wedding make. You will still...
