Wedding Songs - Wedding Songs

Since I was a little girl, I was dreaming on my wedding day, that big day when everything is pure, white, fresh and absolutely lovely. I am lovely, my man is perfect and all of my dearest ones are close to me, drinking from the same coup of happiness. And guess what moment from the entire wedding was the most elaborated in my mind? Exactly the first dance. Since I was just a kid, I imagine how beautiful I’ll look wearing a long white dress with big train dancing with my man while an angelic melody is played. This was my dream and I’m so happy that  now few months, it became true.  I’m absolutely sure that lots of women were dreaming at their first dance since were just children and now they are planning this formidable moment. Well, for these Misses, I have some tips that I hope to ease their work.

The music is the most important element of the first dance that simply highlight this precious moment. You must dedicate 100% in planning the first dance and also don’t forget to ask the opinion of your future husband. This is a moment only about you and he and your feelings must be manifested through music. How can you choose the music? Well, is very easy. There are lots of musical genres that can charm you and your guests and you can choose a musical genre that simply defines you and him, or speaks volumes about your relationship. Also, I’m very sure that as every other couple, you also have a melody “only of you and him”, the melody of your couple.

Choose the song that has a meaning for you and the feelings will get revealed in matter of seconds. You also can choose a movie soundtrack that impressed you or simply a certain melody that both of you adore it. Now you have the freedom of choosing what musical genre you like the most, because it had passed the times when the couple dance while a waltz was played. Now you can choose what song you like the most like: rock and roll, reggae, Latino, polka, disco, oldies, dance or country. And, yes…here I’d like to stop for a while because in my opinion, country is an amazing musical genre and there are many country wedding songs first dance.



Country music is very cheerful, hopeful and just perfect. The rhythm is incredible and the lyrics are also heart touching. I sincerely recommend you to choose country music for your first dance. Here are some suggestions of country wedding songs first dance: “Amazed” performed by Lonestar, “Bless The Broken Road” performed by Rascal Flatts; “Could I Have This Dance” performed by Anne Murray; “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” performed by Dwight Yoakam; “Crazy Love” performed by Poco and “Family” performed by Dolly Parton. Talking about the dance, well, if you’re not a very talented dancer, then it’s ideal to subscribe to some dance courses with three months before the big day. In all this time, you’ll learn some new steps of dance, and why not, maybe you’ll have even enough time for a personalized choreography!

The dance between father and daughter is a delicate moment of the wedding party which must be planned with lot of attention and dedication. The bride-to-be must assume the responsibility of planning this moment, and at least now they must give up in asking for help from their friends, parents, cognates or event planners.

This is an important moment which must be planned with your soul, not with your mind. You must listen to your heart and you’ll know what you must do in order to have a wonderful memory, because finally, the dance between father and daughter is not only a dance or a well known tradition, but is about feelings, personalities, relationship, love, respect and unconditioned love. The dance between father and daughter is same important as the dance between mother and son, that’s the reason I disagree with the idea of performing these special moments in the same time.

I know lots of couples who danced with their parents in the same time, making a single important moment instead two delicate moments. Of course, both dances have the same meaning, but still is recommended to give up in modernizing so much your wedding and better opt for traditional way. How you must plan this important moment? (And now I’m talking with the brides-to-be who are extremely impatient, quite stressed and dreaming). The most important thing you must do is to choose a great song for this dance, a song that helps you in expressing your feelings, a song that speaks volumes about your personality, but also about the personality of your father.



You must choose that song that is like a history of the relationship with your father. Of course, you won’t find a melody that says word with word everything that happened between you and your father, but are enough songs that are like speaking from your shoes and you must look for it. In this article I’d like to suggest you some wedding songs father daughter dance, but I’ll do this thing after I tell you other few tips about planning this sensitive moment.

Once you have chosen the song, you must set the choreography. Of course, the dance between father and daughter is about feelings and the way they are expressed, but you also can learn some new dance steps to improve the moment, to even offer a great performance to your guests. I know some brides who chose two songs, perfectly edited by their Dj and together with their fathers, invented a funny choreography. That was their manner in telling to everybody that she and her father are hilarious, creative and hopeful personalities.

And the third thing, don’t be worried if some tears will appear in this moment. This is the most beautiful proof of your vivid feelings! And here are my suggestions of wedding songs father daughter dance: “Cinderella” performed by Steven Curtis Chapman; “Daddy” performed by Beyonce; “Daddy Let's Dance” performed by Jamie Tate; “Daddy's Hands” performed by Holly Dunn; “Daddy's Little Girl” performed by Mills Brothers; “Dance With My Father” performed by Luther Vandross; “Daughters” performed by John Mayer; “Father And Daughter” performed by Paul Simon and “Gracie” performed by Ben Folds.

The wedding reception is a very affective moment, full of emotions, but also very funny. The reception is also called the grand or the big entrance. It’s the first moment of the wedding party and requires lot of attention for planning it. There are two ways in which you can plan the wedding reception: the newlyweds can wait their guests at the local (restaurant, the certain place of the beach, in the backyard, in the mountains, in vineyard and so on…how many wonderful places are perfect for your love celebration) and also the guests can wait at the local the newlyweds.

The wedding reception is an affective moment because, now, the newlyweds will see their other guests who couldn’t come at their ceremony; they’ll receive many congratulations and the best whshes. As you can notice from my words and also from the others weddings that I am sure you were present at, the wedding reception is an important part of the party, the moment that sets the tone of the party.

This is also the reason for why you must set some important details like: who will wait for whom? (The guests will greet the newlyweds or the newlyweds will greet the guests?), and also you must set the music that the Dj or the choir will play during your wedding reception because music is that element that set the tone of your party. The wedding reception is also like a warn for your guests. If you’ll decide to choose romantic slow music during your reception, then all your guests will know that you’ve planned a romantic and heart melting wedding. And vice versa: if you’ll decide to choose funny cheerful music during your wedding, then your guests will know that they won’t sit on their chairs neither for a second, their place being on the dance floor.

The music chosen for wedding reception must speak volumes about your personality, but also about the party. There are couples who choose music “assorted” to the wedding theme. This is what I call a very modern wedding. Since now, I can say that I was present at three modern wedding. Probably you are asking what means modern wedding. Well, it’s about weddings that are planned after a certain idea, a certain theme like: reggae theme, vintage style, country theme, flower theme and so on. The theme is the predominant idea in the entire wedding, speaking in auditory and visual terms. I have an idea for you. Why not planning your wedding in dance style?



The dance music is incredible hot, funny, perfect for having great time on the dance floor and also the atmosphere of the years when dance music appeared can be easily recomposed in your wedding. Here are some dance songs suggestions for wedding reception: “Baby One More Time” performed by Britney Spears; “Beat It” performed by Michael Jackson; “Believe” performed by Cher ;“Billie Jean” performed by Michael Jackson ;“Bizarre Love Triangle” performed by New Order; “Boom Boom Pow” performed by Black Eyed Peas; “Bye Bye Bye” performed by 'N Sync; “Candyman” performed by Christina Aguilera.

I think that few couples who will get married are thinking that their marriage is an important and special event not only in their life, but also in the life of their parents. Being so caught in planning the wedding, the brides-to-be and their future husbands are barely speaking with their parents, even that we should express our worries, our feelings and even our fears and our parents are the only ones who are the best listeners.

As for me, my parents always knew what piece of advice to give me when I was in serious need. Maybe you’ll think that what I’m writing are just ordinary words, but during wedding planning, I recommend you to speak with your parents about every decision you want to take, about your feelings and desires. In this manner, you’ll get relaxed; you’ll feel their support and their attention.



I think this is the best advice I can give you, and applying it, I’m sure that all the wedding planning tasks will be much easily fulfilled. And this is how the big day arrives, that grandiose day we were dreaming at since we were just little girls, playing with dolls and imagining what a beautiful life we’ll have close to our dearest man. The wedding is the perfect occasion to appreciate once again the support and the unconditioned help of your parents, to say them “Thank you for loving me and because you make this day become realizable.” I also think that dances between parents and children are amazing traditions of the wedding party.

I don’t know what means for you, but for me the wedding dance between mother and groom or between father and daughter are special moments, very affective, full of emotions and feelings. Watching the parents dancing with their children is like watching a surreal waltz of past, present and future.

There are couples who are embracing the idea of performing a show through the dance with their parents, that’s the reason they are choosing two different melodies: a slow one and other one very cheerfully. The guests are impressed seeing their efforts in performing certain choreography, but still the emotions expressed through the special dance are the most important. In this article, I’d like to offer you some father/ daughter wedding songs suggestions: “A song For My Daughter” performed by Ray Allaire; “Butterfly Kisses” performed by Bob Carlisle;“Cinderella” performed by Steven Curtis Chapman; “Daddy” performed by Beyonce;“Daddy Let's Dance” performed by Jamie Tate and “Daddy's Hands” performed by Holly Dunn. Of course, there are many other beautiful father/ daughter weddings songs you can play during this gorgeous moment, the only thing you must do for taking a perfect decision is to listen your heart and do what she tells you. Now tell me, please, what are in your opinion the most formidable father/ daughter wedding songs?

Music is such an important element in our life, even that sometimes we don’t realize how much it helps us in expressing our feelings or in improving our health or our mood. We should be glad that nowadays churches approved to introduce music during our ceremony. You can ask your mother if she could introduce some songs when she got married, but I tell you that in ancient times, churches didn’t allow brides to play songs during their ceremony.

For having a wonderful wedding, you must pay some attention to your ceremony, especially that now we are “attacked” with all types of musical genres, with new bands and songs after songs. In this article about wedding church songs, I’d like to offer you some suggestions about how to choose ceremony songs and also I’d like to inspire you with some melodies perfect for your marriage.

Classical songs always were and still are a good choice for those brides-to-be who are running out of time or for those couples who believe that classical songs are perfect for ceremony: once, because they were created by important musicians, and second because their sound simply highlight such a precious and unique moment in your life. And if I talked about classical songs, here are some suggestions for you: “Complete Wedding Ceremony Music Package” produced by T Carter Music; “Sheep May Safely Graze” produced by T Carter Music, Serenade Classical Collection;“Highland Serenade” produced by  T Carter Music; “Greensleeves” produced by T Carter Music and “Ave Maria” performed by JS Bach. Other couples opt for other musical genre such as melodies performed by Enya like: “Book of days” or  “Caribbean Blue”, Celine Dion with her marvelous songs like “The power of love”, “Because you loved me”, but still my favorite “band” (what a modest name, in my opinion, the composer Karl Jenkins is a genius) is Adiemus.

Their motto is “We will draw near” which means that music will make people be more unity. All Adiemus albums aren’t about amazing lyrics, but it’s about gorgeous and touching instrumental sound. Karl Jenkins invented the words for all the songs and the result is amazing. “Yuna” is my favorite masterpiece song and I think it fits perfectly with such an important event like a ceremony.



Secondly, when you are creating the playlist for your ceremony, you must cater for all its parts like: prelude, the processional which also include other moments like prayers, readings from Bible or from literature, certificate of marriage license, the declaration of marriage, the exchange of rings, the vows, the first kiss as married couple, a unity ritual (Unity Candle, Sand or Water Unity) and the recessional moment. There are two options for enjoying the most wonderful wedding church songs: you can play recorded music during your ceremony and choose some songs that fit with this moment or you can hire a talented choir to live sing what songs you’d like to hear. You also can ask the choir’s opinion or even listen or watching a DVD where they’ve sang before. Express your emotions through the most beautiful songs because now you have this opportunity!
