One of my favorite wedding moments is that special time when a bride gets to dance with her father.  It’s usually immediately after the “first dance” a married couple shares (which can be an extremely emotional event in and of itself!).  I know I have envisioned my own twirl around the dance floor with my father ever since I started thinking about what my wedding will be like… I know exactly what song it will be (sorry, it’s a secret! But really special to both of us!), and I know I’ll be crying the whole time.  It’s hard for me to get through a client’s daddy-daughter dance without crying, so you can only imagine!

Here are some popular Father-Daughter dance songs:

In My Daughter’s Eyes – Martina McBride

Greatest Love of All – Whitney Houston

I Loved Her First – Heartland

Stealing Cinderella – Chuck Wicks

Landslide – Fleetwood Mac

My Father’s Eyes – Amy Grant

My Girl – The Temptations

The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra

Unforgettable – Nat King Cole

Isn’t She Lovely – Stevie Wonder

There are so many good options! And yes, just thinking about them is reducing me to tears… haha. Did I leave yours out?  Leave a comment and let me know!

One sweet Southern custom is to monogram… everything! From towels to tote bags to polos and stationery, those three (or two, or one!) letters make everything look so much classier and personalized. Weddings are the ultimate place to custom-design and add personal touches; think of the boundless opportunity to monogram!!!

From top left, clockwise:  cookie, grooms’ cake, bridesmaid gift, wedding cake, J cookie, initial cake options, linens, pin, ribboned monogram, invitation, pretty A, cupcake liner, framed K, soap favors, initialed wreath, heart letters, cupcake liner L, K cakelette, paper, seal.

Inspiringly yours,
