Pop punk music rocks. You know it, we know it, but perhaps not everyone at your wedding knows it (yet). So how do you include your wedding guests who might not share your impeccable taste in music, and fill your wedding playlist with pop punk songs? We’re here to help!
Let’s start off with the more romantic parts of your wedding day. Now, you don’t need to tell us that pop punk doesn’t traditionally lend itself to mushy love songs. But never fear! There are some incredible acoustic and quite beautiful songs that work perfectly as a pop punk first dance, as a song to play during your ceremony or as your guests arrive. Check out our favourites!
Romantic Pop Punk Songs For Weddings (Yes, They Do Exist!)
Pop Punk Wedding Songs But Not As You Know Them
There’s also the fantastic option of playing all your favourite pop punk songs, but disguising them as high-brow entertainment by getting a classical musician to play them. Song you know and love but with a unique wedding day twist! Most musicians are happy to learn a special request for you for free and many will learn extra for a small fee. So walk down the aisle to ‘Yellowcard’ just like you imagined – Great Aunt Mildred will just think she’s listening to a lovely classical number. Definitely a win win!
