Wedding songs are in integral part of your wedding day celebrations and often provide a reference point for your guests as you move from one stage of the day to the next. Choosing your songs though can be a tough process as you try to find the perfect songs that will add atmosphere and ambience to your day.
The wedding songs you choose for your ceremony will depend largely on the type of wedding service you are having. A religious service will require traditional songs and hymns all of which will need to be run past your officiant first to get his or hers approval.
A civil wedding ceremony requires songs which have no religious references to them, but here the rules tend to be more relaxed and you can choose any genre of music you like. Many couples like to mix traditional wedding tunes with some modern songs.
Your reception is the one area of your wedding that will require the most work when it comes to choosing wedding songs. You will need background music for the cocktail hour and wedding breakfast, songs for the cake cutting ceremony, first dance and for your evening entertainment.
For background music considers classical or instrumental songs which are upbeat but not too lively or loud. Your guests will want to chat amongst themselves and not have to compete with the music. If your budget will stretch to it you could hire a harpist or string quartet to play during the cocktail hour and wedding breakfast.
Choose something joyful for when you cut your wedding cake as it is at this point that the formalities of the day end and the party really gets started. The first dance song is usually a track that has some particular meaning to the couple. It maybe a song has some significance to you both or simply a song that you both love. Recently couples have dispensed with the romantic trip around the dance floor for their first dance and have instead choreographed dance moves to wow and amuse their guests.
The evening party usually gets going after you have finished the first dance so this it the time to up the tempo of the music and have some classic disco tracks played. Your aim here is to get everyone up and dancing so create a playlist that your guests can’t resist and keep the dance floor full all night long.
At the end of the night you will need to find a way to let your guests know it is time to go home. It is considered bad manners to leave before the bride and groom so if you haven’t left already you will need to choose some wedding songs to either slow the party down or to have one last hoorah too.
