10 Romantic First Dance Songs That'll Never Go Out Of Style

Choosing the first dance song for your wedding can be incredibly overwhelming. I mean how does someone pick one song out of millions available for their first dance anyway. As a bride once myself, this part of planning my wedding was a challenge but today I am thrilled to share some songs to help get you started. The first thought that comes to mind when I think of first dance songs is something that beautifully describes the couple.

The song you pick for a first dance should embody you and your financee together and define what you both like. The beautiful aspect of weddings is that no two have to be the same. This same notion rings true for your first dance song. You can choose to go moody and romantic to set the tone for the tears of your guests…. and yourself of course. However you can also choose something a little more upbeat but still romantic if that is your style as well. You want to pick a song that will always hold a beautiful sentiment to the both of you.

How to pick your first dance wedding song

Pick something sentimental

Choose something that has a special meaning to the both of you.

2. Think of your love story.

Consider the story of how you met. Do you have “your song” that you both love that describes your relationship in words.

3. Choose one genre

Narrow down the options of your first dance songs by selecting a certain genre. This will help get the ball rolling on the type of music you may want to dance to.

4. Think of the melody and your dancing style.

If you want to stick to traditions and dance to a slow song you want to pick a melody that reflects that tempo.

Don’t forget to have discussions with your entertainment vendor to decide what type of melody you would like the song played in. Will a live band be performing the song or will you play the original song.
