When the wedding party was ready, EcoStyle picked everyone up to bring them to Melrose Knitting Mill for pre-wedding photos. The bride and groom chose to do a first look and we loved the photos that came from it. A first look can be a great way to get rid of those pre-wedding jitters and to knock out some photos before the ceremony begins.

This group sure knew how to have a good time! They sipped signature cocktails, danced the night away, and enjoyed the delicious catering from Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar and cake from Cinda’s Creative Cakes. Bunn DJ Company provided the music for the evening.

We loved the songs they chose for their first dances. If you are looking for a little inspiration for yourself, we have listed them below.

First Dance: Die a Happy Man – Thomas Rhett

Father/Daughter Dance: It Won’t Be Like This for Long – Darius Rucker

Mother/Son Dance: Never Alone – Lady Antebellum
