Wedding Inspo - First Dance Songs We Heart

Even though we adore every aspect of wedding days, there’s something that hits us extra hard in the feels when it comes to first dance songs. Whether they’re sweet and lighthearted, slow and romantic, or absolute tear-jerkers, a first dance song not only sets the tone for the reception, but also says so dang much about a couple!

For us, we’ve heard about ten million love songs, but here are some of our faves from last year’s weddings, a few from our 2020 couples (!), and some songs that we can never get enough of:

Peter + Jacquelyn, a Hyatt Tamaya Resort Wedding

Peter and Jacquelyn's beautiful Hyatt Tamaya Resort  wedding was on a perfect Saturday, September afternoon! Jacquelyn is one the absolute sweetest brides i've ever met and Peter is as equally amazing, so it was no surprise that their wedding was a darling celebration. During their reception, they honored their Polish roots with the sharing of the bread, an old Polish tradition. Their parents welcomed the newlyweds by presenting them with this blessed bread!

It was such a sweet wedding and I was honored to be a part of their special day! Congratulations to Peter and Jacquelyn, have a blast in Hawaii!
