The big day is almost here, and you have everything planned to perfection.
The invites have been sent, the venue booked and the dress selected, so you can finally take a big sigh of relief.
But what about those components that are out of your control? After months of scouring the internet for inspiration, you know how remarkable the perfect wedding video can be.
It is totally within your right to want to make sure that everything is as perfect as you imagine when the big day finally arrives. However, until the day is actually here, you have no control over how the prized video is going to ultimately look.
One of the key characteristics of planning your wedding video is making sure that you select the best song to sum up your wedding style.
What You Should Consider
The easiest trap to fall into when selecting your wedding video song is going for your favourite tune. Yes, we all know what songs you bellow out when driving along, and we all know how much they mean to you.
However, going for the first song that pops into your head can sometimes prove detrimental, especially as the years go on and you grow sick of the song you decided to go with.
You need to make sure that the soundtrack to your wedding isn’t going to tire through the years, and if you are going to pick something current, make sure it accurately sums up how you feel about your relationship.
Secondly – a relatively obvious one, yet surprisingly common – ensure that the song that you select has no profanities in it, or make sure that you actually understand the meaning behind it.
There will be red faces all around if, and when, you begin showing your stunning video off to family and friends, and it is loaded with swear words or has an alternative meaning that you had no clue about.
