44 Indie Wedding Songs for Your First Dance
You don’t have to go with one of the old and faithful classics for your first dance. If you want to try something off the beaten trail, opt for one of these indie love songs.
Let’s face it, “At Last” has had its moment in the spotlight at weddings. While it still remains a fine choice, there are so many indie wedding songs out there to choose from — by Iron & Wine, Beck, Cat Power and more — for an alternative first dance song. Remember, you’ll want to find something that’s smooth and slow, so maybe save the Avicii and Skrillex tracks for when you’re boogieing down later on at the wedding reception and go with one of these alternative or indie love songs instead.
Here are my picks for the best indie wedding songs for your first dance.
