First Dance Songs at Weddings – Michael Bublé
Bill and I have been doing wedding photography in Northern Colorado and Denver for some time, so you can imagine we know a lot about what works at weddings. We’ve been turning our attention to wedding music lately, particularly for that important first dance between the bride and groom.
In our first post on wedding songs for the first dance, we covered the immortal and classic Frank Sinatra. We’re back again to look at another fine voice with worldwide stardom, a great deal of class, and who also loves his Sinatra: Michael Bublé.
Michael Bublé is an international superstar who sings both jazz standards and pop standards. Playing him at your wedding means you won’t have any complaints, regardless what rendition of a song you want to play. We’ve picked a sampling of five songs from Michael Bublé that might be a good fit for your wedding.
“The Best is Yet to Come” and “The Way You Look Tonight”
Last time we shared Frank Sinatra’s takes of these standards, but since they are both such good songs for weddings, we thought it would be best to give Michael Bublé’s renditions so you can figure out which fits your wedding best.
Sample: “The Best is Yet to Come” from Call Me Irresponsible
Sample: “The Way You Look Tonight” from Michael Bublé
“You and I”
Here’s Michael Bublé giving his take on a beautiful Stevie Wonder song about staying together with your true love. As with the Sinatra songs, both takes on this tune are delightful.
Sample: “You and I” from It’s Time
“Wonderful Tonight”
Here’s another one of Michael Bublé’s renditions of a pop song, this time one by Eric Clapton. Bublé is joined by Ivan Lins on this smoky, bossa nova take on the song.
Sample: “Wonderful Tonight” from Call Me Irresponsible
“Everything”
We go from jazz standards and pop standards to a more contemporary-sounding and charming Michael Bublé original. This acclaimed song is about the person you care about being everything in your life. Very fitting for that important first dance.
Sample: “Everything” from Call Me Irresponsible
We hope this gave you a good taste of Michael Bublé’s versatile style. More wedding songs in the near future. In the meantime, we encourage you to browse our wedding photo gallery to see what we can offer you on your special day.
