With so much planning in preparation for the big day it is important to pay attention to the details to make your wedding super special. One of the most memorable moments in most weddings is the newlywed’s first dance. In the hectic jumble of the busy wedding day this is a moment to take your groom and just be in the moment. Before you get there, you must choose the perfect song.

Some couples are lucky enough to have a song that they made theirs after an anniversary date, or during a concert this would be a perfect moment to put that love song to use and share it as your first dance, but if you have not yet found your song the search is on! First, consult your spouse; see if he has any great ideas of a song he heard that reminds him of your relationship. You might be surprised with the tunes he picks that might actually work.

Go back to the classics. Classic love songs have a way of tugging at the heart strings and taking you back to the moment when you first fell in love. Listen to some oldies and get a better feel for exactly what you are looking for. Also, modern artists have gone back and redone classics that put a modern spin on the romantic tune. Check out modern versions of your favorite love songs to see if it will work for you. My suggestion: Ingrid Michaelson “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” originally by Elvis Presley.

Switch it up! If you and your hubby to be tend to steer clear of the norm, try an upbeat tune. A first dance doesn’t have to be a traditional slow dance. Try something upbeat. You can also prepare a choreographed dance including your wedding party. It’s a fun way to experience your first dance with your husband and shock all your guests.

Make it your own. If you are still having trouble consult your DJ or wedding planner. They are professionals and usually have great suggestions. Your DJ can put a spin on it if that’s what you are looking for, or find a unique classic that you will both love. It’s your moment, enjoy it the way you would like to!
