Hi girls!

  My FI and I really enjoy indie/folk music (ex-regina spektor, Ingrid Michaelson) and were hoping to find a wedding song by these artists or anyone in the indie/folk genre. We really loveee Regina Spektor but the songs I know of are either to up tempo or not appropriate for a wedding song.  I was wondering if you girls had any ideas. Thanks!! xoxo

    love love ingrid michaelson! since you want to stay away from uptempo regina spektor, i assume the same for ingrid? because i love "the way i am"..i think it would make such a perfect, cute wedding song!

    i would also recommend checking out this amazing singer-songwriter aslyn. she's incredible - vocally, lyrically and i love all of her songs. you should absolutely check out are "that's when i love you" -- if i hadn't had my song picked for years, this would have been it.

    another amazing folky singer-songwrite is tyrone wells. everything about his music is gorgeous. listen to "sea breeze" and "enough"

    also, green river ordinance - "endlessly"...a BEAUTIFUL song that was written for one of the members' friends' wedding.

    i could go on for days about others (i listen to A LOT of non-mainstream musicians, :)) but i don't want to take up too much space..haha. but please do check these out! :)

    dawn, no problem! i love sharing my musical finds with others.. :)

    similar to those i listed, you should check out stephen kellogg & the sixers (my personal favorites!) we're using "diamond" as our song. :)


    -will hoge: "babygirl"
    -wideawake: "so simple"
    -emerson hart: "when she loves you"
    -hanson (yes, the mmmbop brothers. lol. they've made some AMAAAAZING music since 1997!): "deeper"
    -matt nathanson: "wedding dress"


    these are some lovey/weddingy songs but i would check out so much more from all of them!

    enjoy~! :)

    Great song suggestions! I have a few of those on my list of possibles, too! 

    I am thinking about using Ingrid Michaelson's version of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" for either the BP processional or my processional if my DJ can't get a clean instrumental copy of "Keep Breathing" (I just love that piano intro so much). Every time I hear either of these songs I freakin lose it crying like a weirdo. Ugh! 

    Other songs on my list: 
    Meaghan Smith "I Know"
    Meiko "How Lucky We Are"
    Rachael Yamagata "Be Be Your Love"
    The Fray "Look After You"
    Regina Spektor "Real Love" (John Lennon cover)

    Good luck!
