Ceremony Country Wedding Songs
Looking for processional music that's a bit unconventional? There are so many sweet country wedding songs that work for your wedding ceremony too.

In fact, there are many beautiful and heartfelt songs that are perfect for the wedding processional, recessional and interludes. If you love country music, but still want to keep your ceremony more on the traditional side, you might consider using an instrumental (read: wordless) or acoustic arrangement of your favorite tune. Below are some of the best country wedding songs for your wedding ceremony.

First Dance Country Wedding Songs
There are so many great country songs about all types of love, but what makes a good country song for your first dance is one that speaks to what it's like to spend a lifetime with one special person. When it comes to choosing your first-dance song, think beyond the words too. Your first-dance song also has to have a beat you'll feel comfortable dancing to for at least a few minutes. Before you settle on a country first-dance song, try dancing to it together. If by the end of the song you don't want to stop moving to it, you've found the perfect tune. We narrowed down a list of the top country first-dance songs with a mix of classics and more contemporary country wedding songs.
