Country music wedding ideas
It's interesting:"The best man at my own wedding told me that one and it worked - for 15 years anyway, before she left me for someone short, fat and balding, who happened to ..."
Brides and grooms who prefer a country music wedding genre are not alone in their preferences, and many disc jockeys or bands can accommodate your ultimate reception request. With a variety of both fast and slow, classic and current country music songs, there is an almost endless supply to play from the wedding start to the last dance.
Country Music Tempo
Vary the wedding song selections in the country music genre to include both fast and slow songs. Slower-type music is played during the dinner and cocktail hours- slow love songs are enjoyed by couples attending the wedding to share in a romantic dance. Fast songs are necessary for dancing but use caution as some country music selections are mid-tempo songs which may confuse guests as to what type of moves are required and they may clear from the dance floor.
Line and Partner Dances
Consider inviting a country line dance instructor to your wedding reception to take a break from the typical non-stop dancing to teach step-by-step line and partner dances to your guests. Specific songs are often used with specific dances so ensure that the list of songs is provided by the dance instructor to give to the DJ or band. The guests may appreciate the impromptu dance lesson as a break from the traditional wedding reception format.
Country Selections
When choosing a song for special dances from a list of country music, pick one that speaks to both you and your fiancé-e. Country love songs from classic artists like Vince Gill, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton as well as more current artists like Taylor Swift, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Trisha Yearwood can be appropriate for the formal dances. Include country songs during the cake cutting and the garter and bouquet tosses as well.
Tips and Warnings
Country music may not be the preferred genre for every guest attending the wedding and in spending the amount of funding to produce and decorate for the event, retaining guests until the reception's finish is often a priority. In addition to the country music selections, incorporate typical wedding songs in a variety of genres as well as interactive and fun dances such as the "Electric Slide" and the "Chicken Dance," which cater to all age groups. Consider allowing your guests to make musical requests during the dance portion of the wedding to be intermittently added between country songs.
Many country songs can be exciting to listen and sing to but not acceptable for dancing. Keep that in mind when choosing the dancing selections for the country music wedding reception.
