Weddings should be the most magical day. But to create this magic, it means that you really need to focus on the details of the day too. Everything from the color palette of the event theming to the gifts you give guests as a thank you for attending, you should put your true personality into this day.

So when it comes to your wedding playlist, the same type of effort should be put into this too. You want to have the best wedding songs for every single moment so that the atmosphere and mood can be perfectly captured. From the song you choose when you are walking down the aisle to the song, you pick for your first dance, the personalization of your wedding playlist really matters.

Not only should you be enjoying it, but so should your guests. The last thing you want is for all your guests to be bored sitting down instead of busting a move on the dancefloor by the end of the night.

So once you pick your wedding venue, say yes to the dress, and send out your wedding invitations, the next step on your wedding to-do list is to create the ultimate wedding playlist!

To help you figure out exactly how you can achieve this, we have put together the best tips and tricks so that every single song helps create the dream wedding you worked so hard to make happen.

Tip 1: Visualize the Wedding

It all starts with a dream. So, visualize all the details of your special day. From what you plan on wearing to how happy your guests are when you walk down the aisle, close your eyes and imagine what every moment will be like. Now, when your eyes are closed, try to figure out what you are hearing. What typ[e of music are you imagining when you walk down the aisle? What type of music are you imagining when everyone is having the time of their lives on the dance floor? Visualizing your wedding is the best way to start curating the ultimate wedding playlist.

Tip 2: Decide on the Wedding Ceremony Vibe

Next, figure out how you want the vibe of the actual wedding ceremony to be. Do you want it to be super traditional and serious? Or do you want it to be a bit fun and goofy? Once you figure out the vibe, try to decide what kind of song speaks to you when it comes to defining your relationship. For example, is there a country song whose lyrics really strike a chord every time you listen to it? Or is there a traditional classical song that you have always wanted to be playing when you walk down the aisle?

Tip 3: Think Cocktail Hour

After you say “I do” the next step of the day is for you to go take pictures and your guests to start drinking. You want the atmosphere to feel celebratory and to distract the guests from the fact you and your partner are gone for a bit. Consider the tone you want to set for the rest of the night. Do you want relaxing reggae? Do you want people to get into the dancing mood already? This part of the day often gets overlooked but is super important when it comes to building your wedding playlist.

Tip 4: Mood Booster Music

Once it comes time for the reception, there are a lot of things to consider. First, people will be eating and drinking a ton. So you want to pick music that energizes them and keeps them from falling asleep under the table. But you also do not want to wear everyone out too early. The last thing you want is to exhaust everyone an hour into the actual party.

But it is also important to remember that your wedding guests are all likely from different generations, meaning different songs will speak to them. So do research and find songs that cater to each generation so that grandma and grandpa get inspired to dance for a while too.

In the end, though, the party is all about you and you want to have the best time ever. So pick songs that you love and will put you in a great mood.

Tip 5: Ask a DJ for Help

If you are struggling to create your own wedding playlist or do not really know where to start, then you should definitely seek the support of a wedding DJ. They will have had enough experience at other weddings to know what songs are a hit in general and what ones are a flop. They can also help read the room at the night and shift up the playlist a bit if needed, based on what the overall energy in the room is.

 

Conclusion

Making a playlist is fun, especially for your wedding. So use these tips to get going.
