80 Wedding Song Ideas For Every Wedding Moment
Wedding planning is full of difficult decisions. What style of wedding dress do I want? What will my color scheme be? How do I get the seating chart just right? Maybe you know exactly what you want or maybe you figure it out as you go. One part of the wedding day planning that always proves to be a challenge is the music. Here are some song suggestions for each wedding moment, drawn from my personal favorites as well as favorites from weddings I have worked, ranging from classically romantic to uniquely fun and quirky.
