Best First Dance Songs For Each Type Of Bride
It’s time to choose the perfect song for your first dance with your beloved! This can be a tricky task. It’s all about finding that one song that best reflects you and your partner. You can go about it in a couple different ways. Some couples pick something sentimental – a meaningful song that somehow relates to their relationship. Perhaps it was the song that played on the radio during your first kiss, or the tune that you blasted and sang aloud to during a memorable road trip together.
However, if you don’t have a particular song that is meaningful to your relationship, try considering genres that best fit your unique wedding style as a bride and go from there. Are you more of a timeless classics kind of bride, drawn more to the likes of Frank Sinatra? Or are you an indie bride who would rather find a song that isn’t overplayed or overused at receptions? This can help narrow down your search for the perfect tune!
Browse our fave picks below, as our DJs and event hosts weigh in on their top song choice for every type of bride, including the indie/alternative bride, country lovin’ bride, and more!
