With so many elements to plan and choose before your wedding ceremony, the choice of wedding music and songs can be one of the most significant or memorable to get right.
According to brides.com, the predicted trend for 2023 is to see the use of new tracks from artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Burna Boy, set to be played on every reception dance floor.
2023 is a year to see a lot more individuality in song choices as weddings become more relevant for the Gen-Z age group. This generation really likes to express themselves through their music choices and will have a focus on new and emerging songs. Many first wedding dances will be to new tracks from the likes of Taylor Swift (‘Sweet Nothing’) and Harry Styles (‘Love Of my Life’).
Another trend however is nostalgia whether that’s honouring past classics, rediscovering the music of the 80’s and 90’s or pieces that are sentimental to the couple.
