When it comes to first dances, there are a lot of things to consider. 


What type of song should you choose? How do you practice? What should you wear? We're here to help! In this blog post, we will discuss the 5 most popular first dance songs and why they are so popular. 


We'll also give you some tips for choosing the perfect song for your wedding and practicing your first dance. So whether you're just getting started or you're almost ready to take the stage, read on for everything you need to know!

How Should You Choose The Song For Your First Dance At Your Wedding?

The first thing to consider when choosing a first dance song is what type of music you and your partner prefer. If you're both fans of country music, then a country song might be the perfect choice. Or if you're both into hip-hop, then a rap song could be fun. There are no wrong answers here, so just choose whatever feels right for you two!


Once you've decided on the genre of music, it's time to start thinking about specific songs. To help narrow things down, we've compiled a list of the five most popular first dance songs:


"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran


"Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley


"Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles


"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole


"The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra


These songs are popular for a reason! They're all incredibly romantic and they'll definitely get your guests dancing along. If you're looking for something a little more unique , you can always choose a cover of one of these songs. 


For example, if you're a fan of Ed Sheeran but you want to switch things up, you could choose a cover of "Thinking Out Loud" by a different artist. There are tons of great covers out there, so take your time and find one that you love.

Once you've chosen your song, it's time to start practicing! If you're not sure how to get started, we recommend checking out some online resources or taking a dance class together. Once you have the basic steps down, it's time to add your own personal flair. This is your chance to really make the dance your own, so don't be afraid to get creative.


Finally, it's time to pick out your outfits! For this, we recommend something comfortable that you can move in. Wedding dresses can be beautiful, but they're not always the most practical choice for a first dance. If you want to wear your dress, we suggest pairing it with a pair of flats or trainers. And if you're choosing something else entirely, make sure it's something that makes you feel confident and stylish.


Your first dance is a special moment that you'll remember forever, so take your time and choose a song that feels right for you. And don't forget to have fun! After all, that's what weddings are all about. Thanks for reading! We hope this post was helpful!
