First Dance Songs at Weddings – Frank Sinatra
A little while ago we talked about why having a DJ at your wedding is important. Now we want to focus on something else music related.
We’ve been doing wedding photography in and around Denver for some time now and we’ve heard lots of different songs for the married couple’s first dance. We thought it would be fun to mention some songs we like and that couples enjoy for that important first dance that the bride and groom share. And who better to start with than with Frank Sinatra?
Sinatra’s music is classy and classic at the same time. You can count on a Sinatra song to please friends and family regardless of age. Below are five songs sung by Frank Sinatra’s that people just love to play at their weddings.
“The Best is Yet to Come”
A fitting way to christen your marriage is with this Sinatra song. The title says it all. The wedding is just the beginning of something better.
Sample: “The Best is Yet to Come” from Nothing But The Best [The Frank Sinatra Collection]
“The Way You Look Tonight”
There’s just something about this song that makes you feel the love in the room and the love between the bride and groom. A lot of it has to do with Frank.
Sample: “The Way You Look Tonight” from Nothing But The Best [The Frank Sinatra Collection]
“Fly Me to the Moon” and “Come Fly with Me”
If your love feels like flying, then you have some options. If it’s like soaring through space, you have “Fly Me to the Moon.” Or if it’s like dancing in the air, you can consider “Come Fly with Me.”
Sample: “Fly Me to the Moon” from Nothing But The Best [The Frank Sinatra Collection]
Sample: “Come Fly with Me” from Nothing But The Best [The Frank Sinatra Collection]
“It Had to Be You”
Like “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Come Fly With Me,” this is one of those instantly recognizable tunes closely associated with Frank Sinatra. It’s a great fit for a wedding on top of that.
Sample: “It Had to Be You” from A Voice In Time (1939-1952)
Hope you’re not Sinatra’d out (it was hard to pick just five). We’ll look at some more wedding songs soon. While you’re waiting to hear more, take a look through our wedding photo gallery to see what we can offer you on your special day.
