>After your traditional first dance as husband and wife, it\u2019s customary for the bride and her father, or step-father, to take to the dance floor to perform their Father-Daughter Dance. During so many years as home to beautiful New Jersey weddings<\/a>, we\u2019ve seen thousands upon thousands of sentimental moments between fathers and daughters at the wedding reception, and some of their first dances took our breath away. The songs they chose were so lovely, such a heartfelt tribute to the special bond between father and daughter on the wedding day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since so many of our wedding couples have inspired us with their Father-Daughter dance songs, we thought we\u2019d share some of the most memorable ones, as well as songs you may like to consider for your own father-daughter dance:<\/p>\n

“My Girl” by\t\t\tThe Temptations
\n“Unforgettable” by\t\tNat King Cole
\n“Wind Beneath My Wings” by \tBette Midler
\n“My Dad” by \t\t\tPaul Petersen
\n“Because You Loved Me” by \tCeline Dion
\n“Isn’t She Lovely?” by\t\tStevie Wonder
\n“Have I Told You Lately” by \tVan Morrison
\n“What A Wonderful World” by \tLouis Armstrong
\n“Butterfly Kisses” by\t\tRaybon Brothers
\n“And Then They Do” by \t\tTrace Adkins
\n“There You’ll Be” by\t\tFaith Hill
\n“In My Daughter’s Eyes” by \tMartina McBride
\n“A Song For My Daughter” by \tRay Allaire
\n\u201cYou Raise Me Up\u201d by\t\tJosh Groban<\/p>\n

We\u2019re seeing a wonderful trend in Father-Daughter dances \u2013 father and daughter are picking out Their Song together, using a song from the bride\u2019s childhood. So in addition to the most popular songs listed above, we\u2019re also seeing fathers and daughters dancing to unexpected songs with great memories attached, like You Are My Sunshine and My First, My Last, My Everything by Barry White \u2013 the song the father always danced with his little girl to at other weddings they\u2019ve attended over the years.<\/p>\n

Whatever your Father-Daughter song, consider the other new trend: brides and fathers are practicing their first dance ahead of time, perhaps even having a dance instructor choreograph it. It\u2019s their moment in the spotlight, and they make it special.<\/p>\n
