If you are stuck for choice and have no idea what first dance song to go for, maybe you can get some inspiration from a select group of royals and celebs! Take a look at the list below...some are quite surprising!
1. Beyoncé & Jay-Z hit the dance floor with the first song they collaborated on together: “Crazy in Love”.
2. Prince William & Kate (Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) danced to Ellie Goulding's cover of the Elton John classic: Your Song.
3. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West chose “All of Me” by John Legend and Etta James "At Last" mixed with "These Arms of Mine" and "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding for their wedding on 24th May 2014.

It seems a lot of these vocal celebs like dancing to themselves...you could always record your own song and dance to that! Or you could leave it to the professionals...there is so much choice...nothing is wrong. What is lovely about a first dance is that it should be special and unique to the two of you! Your first dance is a precious moment to be looked back on years to come and remember how perfect it was.
