Let the Music Play!

22 October 2010

Whatever style of wedding you are planning, there is a music play list to suit. Browse our lists here for the perfect combination of tunes that will get you and your guests rocking the dance floor!

The Retro Bride

Retro is all about choosing songs that everyone knows the words to (or at least thinks they do!) — the kind of songs that are played at your high school formal. The kind of songs that entice your mad Aunty Beryl onto the dance floor. The kind of songs you quietly love to sing along to when you think no-one is watching.

Wedding song 13. My Sharona by The Knack

The Traditional Bride

Conservative and appropriate, traditional bridal music tends to be classical and elegant to reflect the importance of the occasion.

Wedding song 2. Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel

The Hopelessly Romantic Bride

This bride is in love with love. Candle-lit dinners and walks down the beach at sunset? You’re not alone. Sentimental and passionate, the hopelessly romantic bride needs a music playlist to match, which is emotional, intense and (most importantly) meaningful. Your first dance song will become “your song” forevermore, so choose carefully!
