Over the last several years elopements and down-sized weddings have become one of the best ways to get married. Not only does it make planning a wedding more affordable for couples, but it also reduces the impact on the environment.
Despite all of the changes there is still one part of a wedding that will always remain the same, no matter how big and small the wedding might be and that is – the music. Whether you choose to book a live acoustic musician or band, music remains a top priority for couples.
Choosing a playlist that is personal to you is really important in order for you to have a great atmosphere. Spotify showed us that the normal wedding playlist is about 2 hours and 17 minutes long, this is usually about 35 songs. This music platform says that the new trend is to create collaborative playlists. Couples are asking their friends and family to help with the music choices for their wedding, so they can be involved with what they would like to hear on the day.
The most popular artists that are on wedding playlists are Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, John Legend and Christina Perri. Check out the UK’s top wedding songs, perfect to add to your wedding music playlist!
