The first dance at a couple’s wedding is a sweet and memorable tradition. While so many songs have become staples in the wedding dance tradition and almost predictable, modern couples may want to mix it up!
Soft and melodic, “Bloom” by Paper Kites is a sweet song perfect for a couple’s first dance. The lyrics are touching and the slow folky beat picks up here and there making the song fun to dance and listen to.
For an electronic sound and unique first dance, try “Downtown” by Majical Cloudz. This retro-style love song is something out of a rom-com from the 80s in the best way possible. The beat is perfect for a slow first dance for the unconventional couple.
“Poetic” by Seinabo Sey is a great song for any couple’s first dance. Seinabo’s soulful voice is a bluesy, beautiful sound and with the tempo of the song, any couple could find meaning in the lyrics and enjoy making it their own.
This bubbly country song, “Die A Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett, is lyrically perfect for a couple’s first dance. The story in the song is basically wedding bait and is timeless for the country music couple.
“Coming Home” by Leon Bridges is a throwback to the swinging blues of time gone by. This song is truly the perfect blend of classic Rat Pack mixed with a young sound, spirit and appeal.
“Make You Feel My Love” by Adele has been around for a few years now, but it’s always a great standby. Her sound is timeless and the song is a classic.
James Bay’s “Hold Back The River” is an indie love song with a lot of heart. This song is not only beautifully written and played, but it is great for dancing. Its simple beat starts off slow and builds to make the emotional song fun enough for guests to enjoy as well as the couple.
