11 modern waltzes for your first dance

The first dance is something I’m particularly excited about, but here is the issue — the groom only knows how to waltz in 3/4 time. So here’s the deal… I’d like to know your favorite modern songs in 3/4 time, ie, Waltzin’ Songs. My groom and I would like something sweet and peppy, and not too “classic.” Got any ideas?

A music-heavy Brooklyn wedding with dinosaurs, balloons, and a drumming bride

Meet Mary and Matt, two Brooklyn-based musicians who wanted their wedding to include their fave bands and tunes in a big way. Each table at the reception was named after a band (some local, some super famous) and both the bride and groom took turns playing with their band during the reception! The multi-talented pair’s creativity didn’t stop there, as Mary also DIYed most of the bouquets and decor herself.

Rachel & Nick’s black, red, and beach-all-over music-loving wedding

A love of music, the beach, and rockin’ bare feet, these two planned an LA from Boston wedding (with all of the intricacies that it might entail). And a switch from a kid-free wedding to kid-full turned into a funny dance floor surprise. Plus, gazing at these beach sunset shots doesn’t hurt the midday blahs at all.
