Father Daughter Wedding Songs

Advice on Father Daughter Wedding Songs

One of the best loved traditions in every wedding is the father daughter wedding dance as well as the mother son wedding dance. Every family has it's own history, and both the bride and the groom must give some thought to the songs that reflect those bonds. After the couple's first dance ends, the bride dances with her father to a father daughter wedding song she (or he) has selected. The father daughter wedding song selected should capture their feelings for each other over the years.

Popular selections for father/daughter wedding songs include 'Unforgettable' (Nat King Cole/Natalie Cole), 'Butterfly Kisses' (Bob Carlisle), 'What a Wonderful World' (Louis Armstrong), and 'Through the Years' (Kenny Rogers). You can find many father daughter wedding songs either online or at your local music stores.

The grooms' dance with his mother is another sentimental moment during the reception. The mother son wedding song selected should reflect different expressions of love between the mother and son. Popular mother son wedding songs include 'Unforgettable' (Nat King Cole/Natalie Cole), 'Wind Beneath My Wings' (Bette Midler), and more. You will also be able to find many mother son wedding songs to choose from either online or at your local music store.

Many times, the band you choose to perform at your wedding will be able to perform most father/daughter and mother/son wedding songs, but be sure you ask the band leader as far in advance as possible to give them plenty of time to rehearse. If you have a DJ during your reception, make sure (s)he will have your chosen wedding song selections on CD.
