Your Aloha Wedding Blog
There is no right or wrong when it comes to the wedding ceremony music. The good news is weddings have become so personalized that sticking with the traditional assortment of songs, such as "Canon in D" and "Here Comes to the Bride," is entirely appropriate, but so too, is selecting a song that has special meaning to you and your finance.
If you’re about to tie the knot, congratulations are in order. But, before you walk down the aisle and say “I do,” give some thought to the soundtrack for your big day. Whether you’re hiring a band or a DJ or just breaking out the old CDs, the right music is essential.
You might be a big music fan with knowledge of hundreds of songs. But, if you’re not, there are plenty of ways to get inspired. Listen to the soundtracks of some of your favorite romantic movies, and pull a few songs that you like. Ask your friends and family members for musical recommendations, or explore My Wedding Songs, a fun website that features romance-inspired playlists.
Weddings are all about love, so you’ll definitely need a few good love songs in your arsenal. Consider choosing songs that have special meaning to you and your partner, and be extra selective about the song for your first dance. You can also ask loved ones to contribute sweet song ideas that remind them of you and your special someone.
While lovey-dovey songs are a necessity, you also need songs that will get people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor. You can use your setting for inspiration, like choosing tropical, breezy songs if you’re getting married on the beaches of Maui. Or, you can go for the most popular hits and/or songs from your favorite decade or musical era. As long as the music gets people moving, you can’t go wrong.
You may not remember every single song that plays on your wedding day, but the music will help set the tone and mood. So, choose your playlist with care and have a little fun with it. Then, you can dance, sing, and have an amazing time from the first moment of your wedding to the last.
