Wedding Songs for First Dance
– Based in Norfolk, Virginia –
If you are totally lost on what song to use for your first dance, I’ve pulled together a list of amazing song suggestions; all being very romantic but not overplayed. With so many amazing songs out there to choose from, deciding on a first dance song that you both like and that is true to your relationship can be a struggle.
HERE’S 3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELVES WHILE ON THE HUNT FOR YOUR FIRST DANCE WEDDING SONG:
What song genre do you enjoy the most?
Can you relate to the lyrics? Do you want lyrics or instrumental?
Would you be able to dance to it organically? (Try it out!)
