What is your favorite part of a wedding? For us, the father-daughter and mother-son dances are definitely on our favorites list! And, if you’re a bride, the father-daughter dance will be such a special moment that you’ll remember forever. So, you want it to be perfect!! We don’t blame you. But to have the perfect moment with your dad, you need the perfect song. That’s where we come in; we’ve gathered some of our favorite father-daughter dance songs. And, because we’re based in the Texas and Oklahoma areas, you know we had to break it down into country vs. non-country.
