Vintage-styled weddings have long held their place at the top of the trends, but their music unfortunately doesn’t always match their mood. Period standards obviously coordinate well, but aren’t always familiar to couples or their guests, and modern music clashes with a retro wedding vibe. The solution? Contemporary hits that have been cleverly reinvented via jazz, doo-wop, and ragtime arrangements.

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox has been dazzling fans with jazzy renditions of everything from John Legend’s “All of Me” to Miley Cyrus’ “We Can't Stop,” beautifully marrying modern lyrics with the musical stylings of an entirely different era. See if our eclectic playlist inspires you to match your favorite popular music to your thoroughly vintage wedding style, and be sure to give us feedback in the comments section below.
