Now traditionally, the father daughter dance hasn\u2019t really been a big thing in British wedding culture. It\u2019s long been part of American wedding celebrations, however, and that\u2019s how we first came across it – at weddings in the UK featuring a large American contingent. But more and more, we\u2019re seeing them crop up in British couple\u2019s wedding day plans, and we can totally understand the appeal.<\/p>\n

Although it has to be said that the \u2018Father Daughter Dance\u2019 is, in truth, a tough thing to get absolutely right. In a lot of ways, it\u2019s actually a harder task than choosing the first dance. Without really realising, it’s incredibly easy to choose a song that feels sincere in isolation, but on the day comes across as mawkish, cheesy, or perhaps even patriarchal and a little creepy.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, that when turned into a song, the subject of the father\/daughter relationship has tended to produce some pretty epic clangers over the years (see, for example, the toe-curling, painfully uncomfortable \u2018I Loved Her First\u2019 by Heartland).<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let that put you off! The father daughter dance can absolutely be done right. Choose the right song, and it can become a poignant, personal, and genuinely beautiful moment between a bride and her Dad \u2013 and a true highlight of the whole wedding day.<\/p>\n

Finding the right track definitely seems to be a bit of a minefield for many, and unsurprisingly there are quite a few blogs on offer out there hoping to point you in the right direction.

And who better to point you in the right direction than the UK\u2019s favourite supplier of live wedding entertainment?<\/p>\n

Here on this list, you\u2019ll find 18 genuinely great songs, all of which would prove an absolutely lovely choice for a heartfelt father daughter dance \u2013 and there\u2019s not a single cheesy American country track in sight!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get cracking, shall we?<\/p>\n
