Stephanie and Brett tied the knot at the Mercury Hall wedding venue in Austin, TX. Their special day was tons of fun, very relaxed with lots of personality! The couple shares a love of music, so a customized wedding playlist for the ceremony and reception was a must! For their outdoor wedding ceremony, Stephanie and Brett chose the unexpected songs below:
The Party by St. Vincent
Ambulance by TV on the Radio
Only You by Portishead
Hate It Here by Wilco
When you Love Somebody by the Fruitbats
La Femme D'Argent by AIR
Meeting in the Aisle by Radiohead
Rose Parade by Elliot Smith

Pitter Patter Goes my Heart (by Social Scene) and Hoppipolla (by Sigur Ros) played while the large wedding party walked the ceremony aisle, and for the bride and groom's recessional, Weird Foshes by Radiohead was selected.
The crafty couple brewed their own beer (see how beer can be a budget-friendly alternative and learn 9 fabulous brews for your reception) for the wedding cocktail hour, and served this along with margaritas, while wedding guests played lawn games , munched on appetizers and listened to a playlist with music from all the concerts Stephanie and Brett attended together in Austin. This funky song list included:
The Black Keys
Sonic Youth, Pavement
The Flaming Lips
Feist
Wilco
Calixico
Kings of Leon
The Cure
Bjork
Radiohead
Fujiya & Miyagi
Broken Social Scene
the Wrens
Okkervil River
Theivery Corporation

In addition to the super customized wedding music selections, there were tons of DIY details at this rustic outdoor wedding. From mason jars hung from Shepard hooks for the wedding ceremony, to wooden planters filled with succulents, greenery and pebbles for the wedding reception tables, this fun-loving couple really thought of everything!
