Everybody wants to have the perfect wedding. From finding the right wedding dress/tuxedo to getting a beautiful cake, planning a wedding is not a child’s play. This article will help to make a very important aspect of your wedding easier: creating an amazing playlist for your wedding.

A wedding with a bad songs playlist is very likely going to be a boring wedding. But you don’t have to worry about your happy day being a drag. Just follow these guidelines to build a wonderful playlist of your very own.

Create A Playlist On Streaming Platforms

Perhaps the easiest way to create a playlist is to create an iTunes playlist and simply connect it to the sound system at your wedding location. The beauty of this is that you literally have thousands of songs at your fingertips, so you do not necessarily have to go through the stress of getting songs from different sources and then creating a potpourri of songs that may not gel well.

 

Have A Mix

A tip to keep in mind when creating a playlist is to mix in slow songs with faster-paced ones. You should not play a continuous medley of slow songs followed by a medley of faster-paced ones.

For example, you can play about a dozen fast-paced songs, then throw in a slower song. However, you should not go straight from a slow song to a fast one. You should try to add in a medium-paced song to build the momentum a little bit.

 

Search For Wedding Songs Online

If you are confused about what songs to add (let’s face it, we’ve all been at a wedding where a totally inappropriate sing has been played), you can simply search the internet for songs to play at the wedding.

This saves you from a cringe-y situation. An advantage of this is that you get to mix classic, old fashioned, and true-and tested songs with more modern songs to create a balance that will make your playlist a major highlight of your big day.

 

Avoid Long Pauses In-Between Songs

You know those few seconds it takes for a new song to come up when one song comes to an end? You should try to avoid that because it puts everyone in an awkward situation where they look at one another and don’t know what to do, and that could be a total buzz-kill on the dance-floor.

And that’s it! You're ready to create your own playlist to make your big day perfect!
