80 “Getting Ready” Songs [Wedding Day Playlist]
At last, the big day has arrived…IT’S YOUR WEDDING DAY!
And what better way to spend the day than hanging out in the wedding suite with your squad and rocking out to a wedding day playlist?
Whether you’ll be saying “I do” under a canopy of trees or a chandelier, you want to feel happy, beautiful, and loved on your wedding day. But the day doesn’t start when you walk down the aisle. You’ll be spending a good portion of the morning and/or afternoon in the wedding suite, getting your hair and/or makeup done, sipping champagne with your wedding party, and getting pictures taken.
As DJs, we understand that music is everything when it comes to setting the right mood. On your wedding day, you want to feel relaxed and happy while getting ready, which helps lessen your stress and prepare you for the party (and photo booth!) to come. So we compiled this Wedding Day Playlist for you and your besties to listen to.
Your Ultimate Wedding Day Playlist
When you’re selecting your wedding reception music, you have a lot of people to consider. You’ll also have to share the spotlight with your future spouse. But in that bridal suite, it’s all about YOU.
Throw on these tunes, sip some champagne, and let’s get this party started!
