Are you in the midst of wedding planning and trying to pick out the perfect music to make your big day even more memorable? Finding the right songs for your wedding can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options to choose from!

To help you make sure your wedding songs are just right, here are 5 things to look for in the perfect wedding song:

1. An Emotional Connection

When you’re looking for the perfect wedding song, the number one thing to consider is how it makes you feel.

Think about an emotion you want to evoke in yourself and your guests. Do you want a joyful, upbeat first dance? Or maybe something more romantic and heartfelt? Choose a song that speaks to your love story, and will make your guests feel all the happy emotions of your special day.

2. A Timeless Tune

It may be tempting you to pick the latest chart-topping hit for your wedding song, but trust us — stick with something timeless!

After all, you don’t want to look back 20 years from now and cringe when you hear your first dance song on the radio. Instead, opt for a classic tune that will never get old.

3. Lyrics That Resonate

We know good lyrics always make a great song even better! When picking a wedding song, consider the lyrics carefully — do they truly represent your relationship and capture what it means to be in love?

If so, the song will have an extra special meaning on your wedding day.

4. The Right Length

This factor is important if you’re having a slower dance with a partner — like a first dance or father-daughter dance — because you want it to last just long enough.

When determining song length, remember that most song recordings last between 2–3 minutes. If you’re having a longer dance routine, make sure the song is long enough to accommodate it!

5. Your Personal Style

Your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple — so don’t forget that when selecting music!

Choose songs that remind you of each other’s favorite pastimes or traditions, or even mix up different genres to make it even more personal. Whether it is country tunes or rock and roll classics, pick music that represents you both!

Achieving perfect music for your wedding shouldn’t have to be hard — just keep these five tips in mind as you search for the perfect songs!

Your big day should be full of beautiful memories and great music — and with these tips in mind you’re sure to find the perfect songs for your special day.
