Choosing Your First Dance

Of course you could do the standard hands on one another hips (or dare I say it… butts!) and sway, but then again this isn't actually a Blue Light Disco. Your first dance as a married couple is actually quite sacred, and we think it's really a beautiful touch to a wedding when a bit of effort is put into it. 

Whether you're going to go all out or simply do the old sway, you should have a firm plan in place that's you're comfortable with. So which first dance is right for you? The high-energy foxtrot? What about the classy waltz? Perhaps a rumba routine? Or, even salsa? With SimplyBridal’s newest strategy guide, making these decision just became one step easier with this fun flow chart!

Want to know where you can learn one of these fab dance styles to wow your guests?
