Not sure how to go about choosing wedding ceremony music? If you consider the following as you plan your wedding music, we guarantee that you will end up with music that has real meaning to you as a couple and will help make the moments more memorable.
Your music choice – how does the music make you feel?
First consider what types of music you like. Thinking about the style or styles of music you like, take some time to think about, in general, what do you like about those styles? How does listening to those style make you feel? Energized, nostalgic, peaceful, spiritual, romantic, cheerful, or something else?
Given the types of music you like, with your fiancé, if you haven’t already, discuss how you want to feel at your wedding? Do you want it to be more like a lively, spirited celebration, highly romantic, spiritual or something else.
Once you have decided how you want to feel at your wedding and how certain types of music makes you feel, you are well on your way to making the perfect selections of music for your wedding ceremony.
What songs create a connection for you and your fiancé?
Now that you know what styles you like that fit with how you want to feel at your wedding, you can start looking at specific music and songs that suit your tastes. Listen to music in the style you like and identify songs that connect with both you and your fiancé in the ways that are important to you. If you envision a lively wedding, identify songs that both you and your fiancé listen to and feel energized by. If you’re looking for a romantic wedding, identify music that has special meaning to you as a couple – maybe the first song you danced to together, a mutual favorite song or a song with lyrics that perfectly describe your romance.
