Your First Dance at Milton Ridge
Finding the Perfect Song for Your Special Moment
Ah, the first dance! It's that magical moment at your wedding where the spotlight is on you and your partner, surrounded by the love and cheers of family and friends. At Milton Ridge, we’ve been lucky enough to witness many such heartwarming dances, each one unique and unforgettable. So, how do you find that perfect song, the one that not only gets your feet moving but also tugs at your heartstrings? Let’s chat about it!
It’s All About You Two!
Think of your first dance song as the theme tune to your love story. It’s a chance to share a bit of your journey with your guests. Maybe it’s that song that was playing when you first met, or the one you both can't resist singing along to in the car. Your song should make you both look at each other and go, “Yep, that’s our song!”
Dive Into Those Lyrics
Words matter – especially when they’re setting the mood for your first dance. You want lyrics that speak to your heart. Whether it’s a line that always makes you think of your partner or words that echo your promises to each other, the right lyrics can make your first dance even more meaningful.
Let's Talk Dance Moves
Are you a twirl-and-dip kind of couple, or more of a 'hold each other and sway' pair? Your dancing style might help you decide on the song. A slow, romantic ballad is perfect for a close, intimate dance, while something a bit more upbeat might be the ticket if you’re planning to surprise your guests with some fancy footwork!
Be Uniquely You
There’s no rule that says your first dance has to be a classic waltz or a top 40 hit. Your song should be one that you both love, regardless of the genre. If it means something special to you, it’s the right choice.
Practice Makes Perfect (and Fun!)
Spending time dancing together before the big day can be a blast. Whether it’s giggling through missteps in your living room or taking a few dance lessons, enjoy this part of the journey. It’s all about building those happy memories.
We will let you in on a little secret though: If you prefer to not practice and just go for it on the day-of, that is just as fun, too!
Just Soak It In
When the moment comes, just breathe and be present. Forget about the perfect steps or what’s happening around you. This dance is about celebrating your union, so let the world fade away and just enjoy being in each other’s arms.
