A wedding is such an important social event that some brides sometimes even become ‘bridezillas’. It is indeed an enormous pressure to hold a wedding that will run smoothly and according to plan.
From the preparation, to all the necessary reservations, to presenting the wedding favors, there are certain expectations that brides and wedding planners have to comply to. As much as there is order when the entourage enters the church, there is also an order and a set of guides that must be followed when playing wedding songs. Just because a song is a love song or because it is an important song in your relationship (even if it is a sad love song) doesn’t mean that it should be played during the wedding. Here is your quick start guide in preparing the music for your wedding.
These important notes will ensure that most major parts in your wedding will be accompanied by the right music that will set everyone’s mood, heighten the romantic ambience, and meet everyone’s expectation as well.
During the ceremony, depending on the kind of religious ceremony you will be having, the songs played are generally the ones approved by your church. In Catholic weddings, for example, while some local churches would approve playing modern love songs, traditionally, Catholic wedding songs are the only ones that are allowed to play during the ceremony.
At the start of the reception, play soft music in the background. At this point, you will be expecting the guests to be arriving and instead of just hearing the people chatter (as if it’s the Sunday market), play music that’s soft to the ears. The couple’s first dance should be to the tune of a special love song, preferably a song that has a special significance in the couple’s relationship.
While there seems to be no rule when it comes to the reception party, you can indeed choose any song but bear in mind that your guests may be across age brackets. Do not just include music from your generation, but rather, if you may, include music across all generations, starting from the music during your parent’s time (and they would indeed appreciate that too), up to modern day dance tracks.
From the ceremony, to the distribution of wedding favors, make sweet music not just with your loved one, but literally share sweet music with your guests. Your wedding ideas for wedding music will surely be appreciated with these simple guidelines.
