We’ve all seen the romantic, tear-jerking first dances. We’ve also seen the fun, perfectly choreographed dance compilations. It’s a moment that can really shine how you want it to. Picking the vibe you want and the music to match can be difficult though. So here are some tips to consider and a few suggestions of songs we loved from the 2022 wedding season.

First things first, settle on whether you want a classic first dance that is intimate and romantic or if you want to channel those dance skills with some fun moves. Feeling funky? Start romantic and transition into a fun choreographed dance to get the guests excited to join you on the dance floor! Next, pick some favorite artists and bands you both gravitate to. Is there a song that has been one that you listen on repeat with each other? One that channels your love for each other or has been a constant throughout your relationship?

Need some suggestions? Here are a handful of songs we loved from 2022 and think would be perfect for this year:

1. Take the World by JohnnySwim
2. Until I Found You by Em Beihold and Stephen Sanchez
3. One Life by James Bay
4. Fall Into Me by Forest Blakk
5. Sea of Love by Langhorne Slim

Don’t forget about acoustic versions, remixes, and instrumentals! Love the lyrics to a fun pop song but want to slow it down? Talk to your band or DJ for help on different ways to get the sound you want. Once you have the song picked and the edition, it’s time to practice your dance!
