First Dance Songs

Kathryn Elise — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:29:09 +0000

The first dance is a moment of sheer celebration and happiness! After tying the knot, sway back and forth with your new spouse to a meaningful, heartfelt song. If you and your other have a certain song that you’ve often referenced throughout your relationship, it would be a sweet idea to use that song. If there isn’t a song that really stands out to you, try searching through some traditional and nontraditional songs that are often played as first dance songs. ( The beautiful picture above is from green wedding shoes ).

Think about the tempo of your dance. Will you be having a slow, romantic dance, or a more peppy, lighter groove? If you are having trouble selecting a song, consider your favorite genes and artists. If you are more inclined to country, but your spouse is a fan of hard core rock, try settling on a compromising tune that incorporates a little of both genres! Here are a few not-so-common first dance tunes that would be appropriate, yet totally personal!

Country:

These Country songs are very contemporary. There is a large selection of older country tunes perfect for old country lovers!

Crazier by: Taylor Swift

Crazier is a song that has a very young, peppy feel. If you are looking for a song that is all country and expresses true love, this may be your song.

History in the Making by: Darius Rucker

History in the Making is an extremely romantic song. If you and your spouse-to-be are looking for a very emotional, heart-felt tune, this might be the one for you.

Johnny and June by:Heidi Newfield

Ours by: Taylor Swift

Pop:

Better Together by: Jack Johnson

Better together is very lighthearted and simple, yet totally demonstrates what love is truly about.

The laid-back, Reggae tune would be incredible at an outdoor wedding!

I’ll be by: Edwin Mccain

Come Away with Me by: Norah Jones

Come Away with Me is a very romantic, sexy tune. This song would be perfect for a very intimate wedding, or even perhaps a destination wedding.

100 Years by: Five for Fighting

100 Years is a fantastic song for a couple of any age. This song is sweet and romantic, yet light enough.

For You I Will by: Teddy Geiger

I’m Yours by: Jason Mraz

I’m Yours is another tune that would be wonderful at an outdoor reception. It’s easy beat is natural to sway along to, and it’s lyrics are simple and beautiful.Rock:

For all the rock fans who want to tone down the hardcore ratio just a tad, but not lose the drumline, these songs might help you!

Beautiful Day by: U2

Beautiful Day is a fabulous song for any wedding. The sweet, emotional lyrics have such meaning for any special event. This sound would be particularly deserving of a wedding of two people with an extraordinary story.

Hold My Hand by: Hootie and the Blowfish

Iris by: Goo Goo Dolls

Iris is becoming very popular in the world of wedding songs. This catchy tune is romantic and has a killer rock feel.

Never Going to be Alone by: Nickelback

R & B:

Forever by :Chris Brown

Forever is perfect for the couple who wants to forego the slow dance.

Dangerously in Love by: Beyonce

We Belong Together by: Mariah Carey

If I Ain’t Got You by: Alicia Keys

Like You by: Bow Wow and Ciara

Oldies:

L-O-V-E- by: Nat King Cole

Love Will Keep Us Alive by: The Eagles

Maybe I’m Amazed by: Paul Mccartney and the Wings

What song will you use for your first dance?! I’m having a hard time deciding between: Better Together and 100 years!

Why, hello! I'm Elise and it's lovely to meet you. I am a southern brunette who enjoys steaming hot cups of tea, long, chilly, bike rides, and writing about almost anything. I am obsessive about anything "wedding". I feel a strong sisterhood-like bond with all brides-to-be, and could literally sit and talk to another engaged stranger for hours! My dear fiancé´ endures my constant wedding chatter, and occasionally even gives me a nod or eyebrow raise :). I am thoroughly looking forward to knowing you better; please feel free to jump into the site and share your ideas! xox Kathryn Elise
