You did it! You made it through your ceremony and now you’ve moved onto reception. Maybe you just got introduced as a newlywed couple for the first time, or maybe the sweet & sentimental toasts have wrapped up and you’re ready to step onto the dance floor and kick things off. But how do you choose your first dance song for your wedding? Do you want something current and trendy? Something timeless that you can listen to over and over and still love in 10 years? Here are some of our favorite first dance songs:

Are you stuck between a couple of songs for your first dance? One thing we suggest is using your second option as your last dance song – whether you choose to do so in front of all your guests or as a private moment together. This way you start and end the night with two very special songs that will be a part of your love story forever.
