Father and Daughter Wedding Songs
The Father and Daughter Dance has become a tradition only in recent times and represents a last dance of the Father with his Daughter (The Bride) before he “gives her away” to her new found love.
The Father Daughter Wedding Song is usually played directly after the First Dance / Bridal Waltz at wedding receptions. As most of your guests are itching to party at this stage it works well to only have up to 2 x Slow dancing songs directly after the First Dance.
When you choose your song don’t be concerned if it is not on the latest hit list or the beat is not hip enough. This song is just for the Bride and her father!
Optionally, the mother and son dance can replace or follow the father and daughter dance. This is where the mother of the groom and the groom dance to their favourite song too.

More about the Father Daughter Dance
It must be one of the most exciting yet emotional day in a father’s life to see his precious daughter getting married. He offers his arm to his daughter to lean on while he walks her down the aisle. His opening speech is a trip down memory lane of their lives together so far.
The Father and Daughter dance usually comes after the bridal waltz and this is your special and intimate moment you will have with your Dad alone. Try to find a song where the words and the music have a meaning to you both. Something from your childhood perhaps, a song where you both use to hum to or a song which you both danced for the first time together.
Even if is only a rhyme which you both hopscotch to. Go ahead and hopscotch again at your wedding day, it meant something to you both a long time ago and it will never be forgotten. Make it special, after all he is, apart from your husband, one of the most important man in your life!
