Music and memories go hand in hand, which is why music plays an important part on your special day. The soundtrack you create will help define the wedding’s atmosphere and the vibe of your day. We’ve put together a list of alternative wedding songs for those brides who don’t want their songs played to death on the hot 40 countdown. They’re pretty, they’re cute, folky and fun, but most of all they won’t make you cringe. We’ve paid close attention to the lyrics, but if there is something that doesn’t quite fit with love and marriage, well that’s alternative folk for you. These pretty little tunes can be used at any time on your wedding day – they’re wedding ceremony songs, first dance wedding songs and everything in between. They’re also each linked to youtube so if you haven’t heard it before you can simply click on the song to hear it for free.
