Here Comes The Bride: 10 Songs for your wedding playlist
Beyond the traditional Wedding March, have you given thought to the rest of the tunes that will set the mood for your wedding? Read on for musical inspiration of the romantic kind.
A party without music is just a meeting. The same could be said about weddings. What’s a celebration of the most significant day of your life if there’s no music to set the mood and mark the occasion?
Your choice of music should reflect the style of your wedding, so choose a mix of tunes that will set the mood for the event and keep even the most traditional of guests pleased at the same time. You could choose songs that have significant meaning for you and your other half or tried and tested favourites that have been doing the wedding rounds for the last few decades. Ideally, the music should just flow and get everyone, (even grandma) grooving on the dancefloor.
If you’re in need of musical inspiration, we’ve compiled 10 songs that run the gamut from romantic ballads to heel-kickers that will take have you and your guests singing along or pulling all the right dance moves throughout the special occasion.
