Vinyl Wedding Inspiration in Honor of Record Store Day

Music has always played an important role in weddings. From Mendelssohn’s distinguished “Wedding March” to the emotional notes of the “Bridal Chorus,” a carefully curated selection of music can set the tone from when guests first arrive at the ceremony until the last groove on the dance floor. So it’s no surprise that for some music-loving couples, the tunes take center stage.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of Record Store Day this Saturday, a day dedicated to the shiny round discs and independently owned record stores across the world, we’re taking a look at some of the fun and creative ways couples have incorporated vinyl details into their wedding. We’re loving the turntable wedding cake that looks real enough to spin a record and the tablescape inspired by “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” that proves music is a beautiful inspiration for just about anything. So steer clear of Urban Outfitters on your record hunt this weekend, and delight in these 12 lovely displays of vinyl wedding decor.

Time for Reflection …

This DIY wedding was designed by the bride herself, a stationery designer who wanted to incorporate her husband’s love for music into the tablescape.
