Ah, the first dance. One of the most magical (and possibly nerve-wracking!) moments of your wedding day. With so many songs to choose from at your fingertips, how do you choose one that will perfectly encapsulate your vibe as a couple?
In this post, I'm sharing a few of my favorite first dance song ideas by style. Whether you're after something classic, unique, or something in between, I hope you'll find some inspiration.
