Alternative first dance song ideas
A handy playlist for original, quirky and alternative first dance song ideas!
So you're planning a kick ass wedding, you've got a whole host of awesome suppliers, you've decided to throw the rule book out the window and do what you want, aaaaaand then you get to the part where you have to:
A) Decide if you're actually going to have a first dance (let me be super clear here, it's TOTALLY fine if you don't want to!)
B) Decide what song to have (now, if you Googled and somehow found your way here then you know there's shit loads of playlists or articles and blog post that suggest some "super beautiful/lovely/romantic/'insert some other word here' but you've looked through and they are all SUPER cheesy and/or cringey. Ed Sheeran was probably featured 200 times in the list, and no disrespect to Ed but having Thinking Out Loud or Perfect is really not that original...
SO, anyway, chances are you ended up here 'cos you're trying to think a little outside the box, you may want something that not many people have heard of, reassurance it's okay to have a song that may be a little unconventional, or you simply have no bloody clue where to begin and want to pick a random number on a list and go for that one (hint pick number, it's a tune!)
So here's my top "insert however many songs I actually include because no doubt I'll keep adding to this" ideas for alternative first dance songs!
AND because i'm totally helpful I've added as many as I could/that were available to a Spotify so be sure to scroll right down for the link to that!
