The age old wedding tradition of a first dance may seem simple enough, but creating an experience that you and your guests won’t soon forget takes a little more planning and inspiration to make it happen. Luckily, that’s where we come in. 

We’ve recently discovered a talented musician from the UK named Tom Walker. His latest single, “Just You and I” is topping our first dance playlist, and has inspired us to come up with a few ideas on how to make your first dance a magical, unforgettable experience! Keep scrolling to see all our tips below and to hear Tom Walker’s hot new single!

Twinkle lights

1. Adding strung twinkle lights above the dance floor is an easy way to create a romantic atmosphere.

2. Soft candlelight around the dance floor will certainly take the romance up a notch. Just make sure the candles are at a safe distance.

 4. Surround your dance floor with sparklers for a dramatic entrance or finale. You can also have your bridal party (and/or family) hold sparklers around the dance floor.
