Father Daughter / First Dance ideas

Looking for some wedding planning inspiration for your special day? We want to keep you inspired throughout the planning process, to make sure that your big day is the amazing wedding you have always dreamed of.

So… let’s get started. Here are some wedding tips on us to add that little bit of extra to your day…

Let’s talk dances; this might be something you have been looking forward to since you were small, or something that gives you a knot in your tummy every time you think about it. Just remember, these dances give you those special moments for your photographer to capture, giving you memories that will last a lifetime.

Have you thought about having a Father / Mother Daughter dance? If so, start your evening reception with this. This perfect moment was captured at Stephanie & Matthews wedding at the beautiful The Glass House at Staining by Claire Basiuk Photography.
Then have your partner join you half way through by shaking hands with Pops or kissing Mum on the cheek.
If you have a Sax player booked with us, bring them on before the dance has finished and invite your guests to join you both.

Boom… party started and you are guaranteed to have a full dance floor!

On the subject of getting those perfect wedding photo opportunities, here is a tip from the award winning photographer at Project Valentine:

‘My top tip… Wedding guests tend to gravitate to where ever the happy couple go. If they’re outside, most guests tend to be there also. So, with this in mind, if you want to have a great party at night, get on that dancefloor and stay there. The longer you’re on the dancefloor after your first dance, the longer your guests will party also. If you leave right after your first dance, then guests are likely to follow suit. Be sure to invite your guests up towards the end of your first dance, normally before the final chorus, as the song picks up for a final time. This provides the perfect time to allow your photographer to get enough shots of just the 2 of you before everyone jumps in. Follow this up with a killer track and stay there until you can dance no more! That way you’ll be sure to get some great party photos before the evening food rolls out’.
