My colleague Jolene has a husband whose singing voice is often compared to Michael Buble’s, but I try (hard) not to be jealous. I tell myself that with the advent of iTunes, I can instantly have Michael and my own husband to keep me warm. If your fiancé can only muster a few off-key karaoke tunes, you might want to invest in some music downloads to get you through the winter. And if you’re looking for wedding music inspiration, Michael Buble’s updated covers of standards like “Wonderful Tonight” and “The Best is Yet to Come” are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, and also get high marks for a first turn around the dance floor.

I coordinated a wedding at Viansa Winery in May 2008 for my friends Lucy & Ross McClennan that turned out to be a really gorgeous event. I think the photos (by the super-talented Catherine Hall of Catherine Hall Studios) say it all. Click here to view their slideshow and be inspired.

The bride put a different spin on the father daughter dance: instead of having everyone simply focus on her and her dad, about 30 seconds into the song, they invited all fathers and daughters to join them on the dance floor. The guests were delighted to share in this moment.
