Wedding receptions are so much fun! There are so many highlights to look forward to. Introductions, cake (yum!), and of course, first dances. Part of having a fun reception is taking the time to choose songs carefully, and today I have some first dance wedding songs for the bride and groom. Whether you are looking for modern first dance songs or something more classic, check out these 30 recommendations. So fun!
Finding Perfect First Dance Songs
It’s important to choose something meaningful to you as a couple, so anything goes, including unexpected first dance songs. Country and upbeat first dance songs are appropriate, too. Pick something that reflects the style of both you and your groom, and don’t be afraid to consider offbeat, unique first dance songs.
My favorite? Well, I’m really into Queen right now, so I’d have to say Love of my Life – it’s the sweetest tribute by Freddie Mercury to his lifelong friend, Mary. I hope you have fun choosing your first dance music! Here are thirty favorites with the classic first dance songs title first and the artist beside it.
