“Where words fail, music speaks.”- Hans Christian Andersen

Thank goodness for the holidays—I finally had a few precious days to tackle some of our DIY projects, like this beauty here, aka the design for our CD Favors!

I played around with the filters and color levels in Photoshop long enough to be super happy with the cover design. It’s so cute! I was inspired by a record poster and designed my own version with a heart shaped record & a fun chevron background.

AND, after a little dance party in our living room, we picked our favorite tunes.

A little ’80s, a pinch of indie, a dash of soul and a lot of love & happiness, bees, here it is…”me + you” - The Ostrich Wedding Playlist!

{CD design by Miss Ostrich}

“me + you”

The Ostrich Wedding Soundtrack

• “Dreams” by The Cranberries
• “Stolen” by Dashboard Confessional
• “There She Goes” by The La’s
• “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
• “Cupid” by Sam Cooke
• “Someday” by The Strokes
• “In Between Days” by The Cure
• “Melt With You” by Modern English
• “The Promise” by When In Rome
• “Just Like Heaven” by The Cure
• “Only You” by Yazoo
• “By Your Side” by Sade

These tunes are not only some of our all-time faves, they’re also the soundtrack to our 10 year relationship. First dates, mix tapes we’ve made along the way, road trips and the many adventures in between. And, some of them will also make a special guest appearance at our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, too.

And similar to Mrs. Tiramisu’s sweet Escort Card CDs, we purchased our music from - where else? - iTunes.

From the iTunes site:

“You shall be authorized to burn an audio play list up to seven times. You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy (if applicable) products solely for personal, noncommercial use.”

Next up? Printing out these covers, designing the CD Labels and putting it all together…stay tuned!

Bees, what are some of your favorite songs that represent the soundtrack of your relationship?
