Ahhhh the 90s… a time of… well, everything! From grunge to dance anthems and boybands to Britpop, the 90s was a decade that produced one of the most eclectic ranges of music ever. The good news for you, is that the 90s provided some of the most well-known and lovable tracks, making it a great era to choose from when finding the music for your wedding. Let’s have a look at why 90s wedding songs will keep your dance floor full and your guests having the best time.
Britpop rocks – If you want your guests to sway arm in arm, belting out the lyrics to some of the most iconic music the UK has ever produced, then choosing Britpop anthems is the way forward. You know you want to!
You can create a cheesy school disco on your dance floor – Pure pop was so cool back in the 90s. Boybands like the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC ruled the airwaves and then the the Spice Girls turned up and that was it – girl power exploded onto the scene and things were never the same again. Playing a few fun 90s pop tracks at your reception will have your guests racing to the dance floor to relive some of the best days of their lives.
There are some unbelievable dance tracks – Clubbing in the 90s must have been phenomenal. The range of electronic dance music that comes from this era is jaw-dropping. We don’t recommend filling your whole evening with it, but dropping a couple of 90s dance anthems for your guests will go down a treat with anyone who loves a good rave.
There are some great first dance songs – From massive rock ballads to romantic slow dances, 90s first dance songs are some of the best around, so make sure to check out the list!
You can make a baby montage – You were probably born or grew up in the 90s right? How cute would it be to make a slideshow of you and your partner when you were little to show at your wedding breakfast and accompany it with songs from the time? SO CUTE is the answer!
So here’s the list! Some of the songs are floor-fillers, others are suitable for a bridal entrance or first dance but most are just plain FUN! We’ve sorted them into different styles to help you navigate as there’s so many, and hope you find some absolute bangers to use throughout your day.
