The Lightmen<\/p>\n
Music has the power to crystallise a moment, instantly bringing back special memories every time you hear that song in the future. So of course, you’ll want your wedding day to be filled with the music that means the most to you.<\/p>\n
While your daytime wedding songs may not be the most important songs you choose for your wedding (we’re sure you’ll agree they rank somewhat below your wedding ceremony song<\/a> or your first dance song<\/a>), they’re still essential in creating the right atmosphere during those hours between your vows and the evening party.<\/p>\n There are no rules for your daytime wedding music<\/a> choices; the music you pick depends upon your personal taste and the vibe you’re going for. We’d suggest opting for songs that sit nicely in the background, gently setting your desired mood and subtly keeping a smile on guests’ faces. We’d also suggest saving any absolute bangers for your evening reception when you can let loose on the dance floor.<\/p>\n You’ll probably have a good idea of the sorts of songs you’d like to be played during your afternoon drinks and wedding breakfast but take a look through our curated list of daytime wedding songs and you’re sure to find some inspiration.<\/p>\n We’ve divided the songs into styles and moods, so you can start to construct a themed playlist – or pick and mix from a range of categories. We hope you have as much fun planning your daytime wedding music as we had putting together these 101 amazing tunes!<\/p>\n Smiley and upbeat or raw and heartfelt, folk and acoustic wedding music<\/a> captures a range of moods, while being light enough to be perfect backing music.<\/p>\n Jazzbox Dukes<\/p>\n \n Ho Hey – The Lumineers<\/a><\/p>\n Hopeless Wanderer – Mumford and Sons<\/a><\/p>\n Better Together – Jack Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n Wild Horses – The Rolling Stones<\/a><\/p>\n Wings (Acoustic Version) – Birdy<\/a><\/p>\n Here Comes The Sun – The Beatles<\/a><\/p>\n Wake Me Up – Aloe Blacc<\/a><\/p>\n Everlong (Acoustic Version) – Foo Fighters<\/a><\/p>\n I’m Yours – Jason Mraz<\/a><\/p>\n Little Talks – Of Monsters and Men<\/a><\/p>\n Timeless and beautiful, classical music adds elegance and refinement to champagne on the terrace.
