First Dance Songs of 2014 - John Legend

John Legend Wedding First Dance Song

“Cause all of me / Loves all of you / Love your curves and all your edges / All your perfect imperfections”

— John Legend

With the summer wedding season in full swing, we thought we share some of our favorite first dance songs we have hearing for 2014. We've created a playlist on our Youtube channel where we will be updating as we hear more favorites.

The first video we are going to share from the playlist is John Legend's 'All of Me', this a billboard top 100 song and has really taken off with brides in 2014. It has some of the most romantic lyrics in a song today, and you can see why so many couples are falling in love with this song. It's also been reported that John Legend performed his hit live at the Kim & Kanye wedding.

I don't think we have ever shared how big of fans we have been of John Legend for years. This started in about 2006 when we were working at the award winning Marriott Shoals Hotel & Spa, and the 360 Grille Restaurant in Florence, Al. 360 Grille Restaurant sits high atop a tower in Florence and rotates to give you a panoramic view of the skyline and sunset, there is nightly entertainment with a piano player / jazz combo and we would request that they play John Legend's 'Save Room' each night:)

Rentals at Wedding Reception in Orange Beach Al

Wedding Rentals in Orange Beach, Al

As we have said before, one of the many things we love about working in the wedding rental business is the many different wedding venues that we get to visit and see. We also love to see the whole wedding inspiration come together between the wedding planner and client. Finally, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle is the wedding photographer that works the event. We generally try to take photos of the different weddings and events, and undoubtedly when we see the professional photographers work, we are blown away and always think one day we are going to do a blog post showing our photos vs. their photos - hint, it wouldn't be good for us:)

Wedding Arch Rental

Wedding Arch Rental

Wedding Arch Rental Pensacola Beach

Wedding arch rental is one of the most sought after wedding rentals on the gulf coast. We have clients contact us all the time for a wedding arch or wedding arbor, particularly for a beach wedding. The beauty of a wedding arch is in its simplicity. For instance with a bamboo wedding arch we use 8 natural bamboo poles to build the arch and tie it together at the corners. We dig 4 holes in the sand to give a base to the 4 posts, and once we have secured the arch  we then begin the decoration process.
