Jewelry shopping can be intimidating. That’s why we started Ask Holden, our blog where we answer your FAQs, break down scary industry lingo, and guide you in finding the perfect piece of jewelry.
Picture this: you and your partner are planning songs for your wedding. You know you want to whip out some Prince and/or Beyonce to get people out on the dance floor, but when it comes to your first dance, how do you choose? Your cousin Sarah played Ellie Goulding (or was it Alicia Keys?) at her wedding, what about that? A country first dance song? Oh right, your partner doesn’t like country music...scratch that idea. Back to the drawing board: do you want to go with a modern first dance song or something more classic, like Ella Fitzgerald?
Whether you have a DJ or a wedding band (although, of course, your wedding bands are taken care of thanks to Holden), picking out your wedding’s first dance song can be stressful. In order to make the decision process (and your wedding planning) easier, we’ve created a list of popular first dance songs suggested by real Holden couples. Maybe one of these love songs will be the perfect fit for your wedding day.
