Bring slideshows to life with music.
Although a picture is worth a thousand words, complementary music will bring it to life. The soundtrack you choose for your wedding slideshow should evoke nostalgia in the viewer. Music may be of any genre and should reflect the couples' style and photos for best effect. When skillfully done, the wedding slideshow will be etched in guests' memories and the accompanying music forever associated with it.
Jazz and Standards
Jazz is timeless and built to last.
Jazz and standards are timeless music choices. They are songs built to last through the years, as a good marriage ought to. At Last by Etta James, Unforgettable by Nat King Cole or Come Rain or Come Shine by Billie Holiday are truly romantic jazz music choices. Quirkier standards include Love and Marriage or Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra, It Had To Be You by Harry Connick Junior or Dream a Little Dream of Me by Cass Elliot.
50s And 60s
Pick a song from the jukebox for the soundtrack.
The 50s and 60s were filled with flirty, fun music. Young and in love was the anthem. Consider slideshow music such as Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals, I'm a Believer by The Monkees or Be My Baby by The Ronettes. Alternatively, Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye, I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher or Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson are strong choices for a couple professing their love.
70s and 80s
Dust off the record player for 70s and 80s tunes.
The 70s and 80s produced an eclectic collection of songs on vinyl records. For sincerity, select a song such as Endless Love by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross, We've Only Just Begun by The Carpenters or You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. Upbeat choices from the era include Together Forever by Rick Astley, Every Little Thing by The Police or This Will Be by Natalie Cole.
21st Century Choices
Choose music from the compact disc era.
More recent music choices could include This I Promise You by 'N Sync, Hero by Enrique Inglesias and A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson. Consider also Come Away With Me by Nora Jones, Power Of Love by Celine Dion or It's Your Love by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill for sophisticated 21st century sounds.
