This afternoon we played for a wedding at The Westin Riverfront in Avon, Colorado.
My favorite thing about this venue is the gorgeous backdrop of Beaver Creek mountain and the river. The Westin's staff is also always phenomenal to work with.
I have to say, lately, I've been seeing a lot of bridesmaids with "balls" of flowers. They can be worn almost like a bracelet and are so very cool looking. A couple of weeks ago we saw them with hot pink peonies, and today, they used red roses and were incredible.
Enough with the flowers and on to the music.
Today's wedding was a mix of classical and contemporary music and we pulled out several pieces that we really enjoy, but haven't played for a while.
We started out with a beautiful piece we've been using quite a bit lately. Bygone Day's by Ivers and Keane. It's got a Irish or Celtic lilt that really helps set the mood. We then played Vivaldi's "Winter", Webber's "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, John Denver's "Annie's Song", Delibe's "Flower Duet", Handel's "Entrance of the Queen of Sheba," Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro", Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell", and finally Handel's "Largo".
The bridal party entered to Bach's "Arioso", a piece which blends very nicely into wedding favorite Pachebel's "Canon".
As the ceremony ended, the bridal party exited to The Beatle's "Here Comes The Sun", followed by Coldplay's "Viva La Vida", Cohen/Buckley's "Hallelujah", and Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love".
