Some couples want a conventional choice, while others love the idea of a non-traditional one.

 

 

If you are one of those couples that are helpless romantic, you should look at some timeless, soulful tunes, that will make you want to hug each other and and sway every time you listen to it again after your wedding day.

 

If you just feel like this choice was just a little too sappy for you, then maybe something more upbeat it’s right up your street.

A song that will have the rest of your wedding guests wanting to get up and rock out too on the dance-floor!

 

 

Otherwise a song that defines your relationship or reminds you of a particular occasion, like your first holiday together, or a gig you’ve been to.

 

Do you still need help finding first dance songs that you and your partner will love? Take a look at some of my favourites!

 

 

“At Last” - by Etta James.

This is my always favourite within the older classics, just timeless and makes me dream whenever I hear it (and a crowd-pleaser too).

 

“1+1” -  by Beyoncè.

 

I hear you not a classic, but I love a good song for a first dance! Because it’s romantic and also a little sexy it’s definitely a tune..” And it's me and you
That's all we'll have when the world is through” 

 

 

 

“Thinking Out Loud” - by Ed Sheeran.

 

I mean no wonder why this song is one the current favourites: he played it at his own wedding. It’s about true love and being together forever with a modern twist.

 

 

 

“All of Me” – John Legend.

He dedicated it to his wife, which he so in love with..isn’t this just the ultimate couple goal?

And basically doubles up as Vows Exchange.

 

 

 

 

“If I ain’t got you” - by Alicia Keys.

 

 Modern and classic , the lyrics are clearly all about the essence of love.

 

 

“I can’t help falling in love with you” - by Elvis Presley.

What a perfect old-school feel timeless track for an unexpected first dance. Simple, sometimes works for the best.

 

 

“A Thousand Years” - by Christina Perri. 

 

 So popular that it has now officially taken over the podium as “the” first dance modern song.

 

 

 

 

 

“Falling like Stars” - by James Arthur.  

 

 Super romantic with truly lovely lyrics.

Those words couldn’t be more perfect for a newly married couple.

 

“Happy” – by Pharrell.

Is there any better song to dance on your beginning of your happily ever after?

 

“No one” – by Alicia Keys.

Yes I confess..I’m a huge Alicia’s fan but she has so many great songs right? How to choose just one?

 

“Video Games” – Lana Del Rey.

Only For the couples that want go out out…but it’s honestly a hymn to being deeply in love

 “I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you”.

Last but not least this song was chosen as Will and Kate’s first dance song: it’s actually a modern twist to a classic Elton John cover.
