The musical selections played at your wedding can really set the tone of the celebration, and none more than your walking down the aisle song and your first dance song, or bridal waltz song. It’s also a moment you will have to revel in the romance of dancing with your husband for the very first time!
If you don’t have a song that’s both meaningful to you as a couple and appropriate for this very important moment in front of all your family and friends, you might be lucky enough to find one to suit your particular tastes in this list.
We asked a bunch of brides which songs they danced their first dance to, and from the responses we discovered there are almost too many fabulous options in all kinds of genres. We hope you find something you like in this lot. If you have any more suggestions for Sunshine Coast brides, we would love to hear them, so please post in the comments below.
