Once the wedding day is over and you’ve returned from your honeymoon, it may seem like all the wedding planning decisions are done. However, if you have a videographer (which we highly recommend), you may be asked to select a song or two for the soundtrack to your highlight video. Even if the filmmaker plans to choose the tunes for your wedding videos, generally they will allow you to make suggestions if you have some favorites. Couples may have their first dance song play out with their wedding video, or it could be a chance to showcase a love song that didn’t make the cut.

Depending on how long your wedding video is, you may want to include a slower melody for the ceremony (think: "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri) and a more upbeat track to play during the reception footage. To help you with the selection process, we’ve gathered together five songs in three categories – something for couples who want their video to be as classic and traditional as their wedding, tunes for those who prefer their soundtrack to represent when their nuptials occurred with something popular and modern, and lesser-known melodies for newlyweds who showcased their unique personalities on their big day and want their highlight video to do the same.
Take a listen below to these songs for wedding video highlights!
