Vinyl for your wedding? Out of the blue, like this? Well, wait ’til you hear the whole story.
About two weeks ago I spent an extremely lazy Saturday browsing through the vinyl market fair in the Mercantile on Dame Street. Ever since that I’ve wanted to do something for the site/magazine on music-themed weddings. Unfortunately, four times a year my head falls off and is attacked by little magazine monsters, so I’m unable to muster a thought for approximately 24 hours a day (don’t worry, I secretly love it). Anyway, I received a mail from a friend of mine that simply read ‘Please put this in B Magazine’ and linked to some vinyl-themed wedding invitations. And here we are. Check out this vinyl for your wedding for instant coolest-party-ever points.
The album cover invitation or STD
I came across this engagement shoot by Toast Photography on Ruffledblog.com. It’s is based on Bob Dylan’s Free Wheelin’ album cover and acted as the base for the couple’s wedding stationery. Now I know Irish couples aren’t generally the type to jump in front of a camera at any given moment (‘cides maybe after a few bevs that is) but think of what a gorgeous keepsake this would be when you’re both old and…wise?! And if you’re super shy, just hide your face behind a prop and badabing!
Music sheet themed decor
I’m into bunting. There’s something I’d never thought I’d say before but there you go. This bunting from Grace & Favour Home on Etsy would look really cute along an escort card table or on the wall behind the cake stand. Another way of creating that rustic, vintage and classic music theme when your guests enter is to use these little stave-printed pegs as escort card holders. They’re magnetic so you can stick them to a wall (made of some sort of iron) or just pin some thick twine to the wall and peg them on that. Small effort, huge results!
Vinyl details
The invites here are by Guestlist on Etsy and include a mixed CD inside with music chosen by the bride and groom. Found via DesignSponge.
Other really great ideas for old vinyls is to use one as your guest book and frame it later. Just provide gold/silver pens.

If you fancy something music related for your tables, print out the covers of your favourite albums, paste them onto coloured card and use them as table numbers. Table numbers by Kia Kreations via WeddingWindow.com
