To some, music is the language of the heart; it speaks to the soul in ways that mere words cannot, it creates ambiance and can relax or invigorate the mind. Whether you are a musician or a music lover, creating a music themed wedding can be fun and exciting for both your guests and the happy couple. You may like country or you may like rock n' roll, your sweetie may play in a hard rock band or may be a violin virtuoso in a classical ensemble, but whatever you musical background is, you can make your reception come alive with both music inspired decorations, sounds and even music wedding favors.

First decide on a musical style for your wedding. A country western theme could be designed around country music, cowboy boots, haystacks and even a live country band. A classical music wedding seems very elegant, black tie and upscale. Hire a pianist for the cocktail hour and a classical ensemble for the reception. If you decide on a rock n' roll theme, you can design your wedding around a particular band or performer - or even a particular decade of rock music. Riding in on a motorcycle as newlyweds and using electric guitar place card holders would be fitting for such a theme.

Whatever style of music you decide upon, incorporate it into every aspect of your wedding. The reception can be decorated like you are viewing a band in concert, or you can incorporate the instruments themselves as decorations. Centerpieces could be designed around sheet music on stands surrounded by flowers. Tables can be names of songs instead of the usual numbers. Ice or flowers could be sculpted into music notes. The dance floor can be highlighted with lights and even fog. Your wedding cake could be designed as an instrument of your choice.

For your escort cards, there are a variety of music inspired place card holders to hold your seating assignments such as pianos, guitars, violins, brass ensembles, music notes, or music stands. For wedding favors, why not offer a personalized music CD with some of the songs which played at your reception? Or for a universal wedding favor, why not purchase CD holders? The possibilities for designing a music inspired wedding theme are endless, but you may have to think outside of the box as this is a nontraditional and highly unique wedding theme.
