Tons of unique and modern wedding song ideas that aren’t overplayed as well as different versions of the ones that are!
Don’t allow your wedding reception to be a cookie-cutter affair! Customize your cocktail hour and dinner music! Dance music should be left up to the DJ as much as possible so he can “read the crowd” and switch it up as needed. If you want to dictate a lot of the music selections, be sure to hire an ego-free DJ that will work with you to make it uniquely yours!
It doesn’t matter that the lyrics are a tad bit off for a first dance song…Sugarland rocks! and deserves to find a place in your wedding!
This song is sexy!

What I’d give to bring you flowers.
What I’d give to get you alone.
What I’d give to bring a smile across your face.
What I’d give to take you home.
What I’d give to make you coffee.
Find out how you like your eggs.
Wrapped around you in the mornin’.
A tangled lace of arms and legs.
[Chorus]
What I’d give to let you love me.
Find out everything that brings you joy.
Wake up to your face above me.
I’d be that girl and you could be that boy.
Find out why that feelin’ is…
Oh, what I’d give. What I’d give.
What I’d give to take you dancin’.
What I’d give to make you mine.
If you got questions, I got answers.
And my answer’s “yes” to you every time.
What I’d give for just one minute.
What I’d give to count all the ways
If your heart was dark with nothing in it.
I’d give you mine and take your place.
[Chorus]
What I’d give to let you love me.
Find out everything that brings you joy.
Wake up to your face above me.
I’d be that girl and you could be that boy.
Find out why that feelin’ is…
Oh, what I’d give. What I’d give.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard this song before! It is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!
Sarah McLachlan “Push”
“Push”
Every time I look at you the world just melts away
All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections
You’ve seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am
And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land
[CHORUS:]
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe in
You’re all the things that I desire, you save me, you complete me
You’re the one true thing I know I can believe
I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do ’cause you’re to good to fight about it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you’ll go
You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go
[CHORUS]
Your love is just the antidote when nothing else will cure me
There are times I cant decide when I cant tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I’d drown
But you pick me up and brush me off and tell me I’m OK
Sometimes thats just what we need to get us through the day
[CHORUS]
All rights are given to Sarah McLachlan and her dog, whatever his name is. Darn it…I should know his name. Her name. Whatever. I hope she isn’t pissed.
I love Sarah McLachlan! Biased! Anything she sings is gold! First dance song material, for sure!

What a great first dance song! I think I’d bawl my eyes out if I heard this playing at a wedding reception. This could be played for your cake cutting tradition as well.
Wedding Song Lyrics
Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
Others they got none, aw huh,..
Stay with me,..
Let’s just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..
Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.
Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one know this more than me.
As I come clean.
Nothing you would take,..
everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

“Magic in the Air” by Badly Drawn Boy
This is one of those songs that you just have to listen to twice.
Magic In The Air”
We laughed so much, then we cried all night
And you left your shoes in the tree, with me
I’ll wear them to your house, tonight
Magic in the air, tonight
Yes, I might just try her
How she made me feel
Today, today, today, feels right
We slept on leaves on my drive, all night
And you gave me no restime
Nothing in this life for me, tonight
But nothing ever seemed so bright
And if you should lose me
You will track me down again
Before the summer ends
If you’re looking for wedding songs that aren’t over-played, you’ve come to the right place, or shall I say? blog?
Let me know if you like my ideas. Or if you hate them… that’s fine, too!
I love those songs that have the absolute perfect wedding lyrics. Us brides have this perfect vision of our first dance with our new husband, and all of our guests looking on. It isn’t a feeling that can be explained, but it is most certainly accomplished with this song. It’s like Lady in Red, in a sense. The night is captured by the song.
A night like this
Kept you wishing
For a night
Like this again
So i’ll take your hand
And set you
Falling into the air
And oh, love
Chorus:
Take this night and
All it’s stars well
Could it be
Anyone else with you?
No, no, no
Take this time now
And all this charm well
Could it be
Anyone else here? Continue Reading »
