These days we see a lot of couples resorting to many of the same songs and we figured why not make a list of songs that we don’t normally hear at weddings

10 (Sort Of) Non-Traditional First Dance Songs

The first dance is an important part of every wedding reception. Its one of those “first” moments aside from the first kiss, cutting the cake and other magical things that occur on your wedding day. Some dream of there first dance to a slow song full of emotion and build up and others … don’t! At North Park Films our whole mission is to create wedding films that are personal and timeless. In an effort to align with that ideology we think your first dance song should reflect your personality or the mood of your wedding day. Here is our list of non- traditional first dance songs that you may or may not of heard of (and don’t worry Ed Sheeran did not make the list). To be clear this is by no means what we consider the best list of songs. In fact I regret number 8 as I’m currently writing this but somebody else may feel different so I left it anyway. I wanted to create something straight from my mind without researching other blogs or sites and just be genuine. This video was meant to be a discussion, everybody may not agree and in that case lets talk about. These days we see a lot of couples resorting to many of the same songs and we figured why not make a list of songs that we don’t normally hear at weddings. We genuinely just wanted to give bride and grooms options when it comes to there first dance song. Let us know what you think and if you would select any of these songs. Check out the full list of songs down below.
