How Do I Create a Wedding Morning Playlist?

Not sure where to start with your playlist? The easiest way to begin is to think about how you want to feel on the morning of your big day. For most nearlyweds, the vibe is fun and high-energy with getting ready songs that make you feel good – but you may want to opt for something more chilled if you’re feeling nervous, over-stimulated or even a little emotional. For a happy medium, include a mix of the two.

Include songs that you love listening to day to day, or those that remind you of your partner, to help you feel grounded. Search songs from all your favourite artists and include the songs that remind you of happy times, whether that’s with your partner or your friends and family.

You could even include songs that’ll feature in your reception party playlist or the ceremony (just don’t ruin your makeup if you opt for the latter!).

Some of our favourite songs to get ready to for a wedding are listed above – draw inspiration from these or create your own getting ready playlist! A set of around 50 songs at 3-4 minutes each should do the trick if you don't want any repeats. 

Now you’ve got your playlist sorted, read up on the best things to have for breakfast on your wedding morning (spoiler: it’s not champagne and a McMuffin… sorry!)
