Music is an important part of any ceremony including a wedding. So when planning for your big day, you and your partner need to choose the perfect tracks which will represent your best while taking into account the preferences and tastes of all your wedding guests. In this article, we have put together a few tips to help you choose the perfect wedding music that will make your day fun and memorable.
Wedding Music Tips
1. Know the Basics
Before you embark on choosing your wedding playlist, it’s important to know the basics. All wedding ceremonies have three big moments that you should pick the music for Groom’s processional, bride’s professional, and the recessional. The song you’ll choose for the groom’s processional could also be played when you’re walking down the aisle, or you could give your man a tune of his taste own, whatever you decide.
2. Check with Your Venue
Are you having your wedding ceremony in a church or any house of worship? If so, then it’s important to talk to your officiant before choosing any songs to see if there are any restrictions to songs to play. Some conservative wedding venues such as churches will have a specific playlist (often religious) for you to pick from while others will allow anything as long that is instrumental and has lyrics. So, find out if there are any rules of the venue you need to follow and start from there. Also make sure you select music that is right for the time, i.e. background music for dinner or walking down the aisle.
3. Consider Your History
Regardless of how long you’ve been dating, both of you will probably have an artist, a song, or music genre that you really connect to. So, try to think: Is there any song that you both love to play or sing along to in the car? Or a tune you love to dance to in the living room? Or even a special song or artist that makes you think about the other? Asking yourself any of these questions will help you select songs that are really meaningful to both of you.
4. Read the Songs’ Lyrics
This may seem unnecessary but it’s vital that you and your partner read the songs’ lyrics before putting them in your playlist. Make sure that the lyrics are actually about romance and love and not about heartbreak and breaking up. Also, ensure that the songs are telling the story you want your wedding guests to hear.
5. Choose a Theme
For cohesion, choose a music theme that ties your all your wedding songs together. It could be a playlist with similar tempo, same genre, or from the same era. Choosing a theme will lead to an even flow between the songs and will keep your guests wanting to hear more.
Hopefully, these wedding music tips will help you choose the perfect music to play during your wedding ceremony. Choose wedding songs that will entertain both you as a couple and your guests.
