Bouquet Toss and Garter Toss Song Suggestions

Often times in my meetings when planning for a wedding, I am greeted with blank stares when I ask if there are already songs picked out for their bouquet and garter toss. This is one of those details that people often don't think of or know where to start to find a song. So I have made a couple lists with examples of different songs that can be used. I tried to make a diverse selection of songs including new age, country, oldies, classics...you name it. I marked some of the more popular songs with a *. The best rule of thumb is to just have fun!

My Newest Assistant

A few weeks ago I got to DJ one of my friend's wedding. And because of that, I got to bring along my newest assistant...my son! He even wore his "Little DJ" shirt with headphones on it. This was a super fun wedding that was laid back but very well put together and just easy. My friend and his wife had a special song mix they put together which started off with your typical slow song and transitioned into an upbeat one where they had a special dance planned. It was pretty fun to watch and hilarious. Definitely one of the more original things I have seen at a wedding.

My dance party isn't complete without the "Y.M.C.A."...
