Johnson’s island-vibe, soothing voice, and heartfelt lyrics make this a fabulous choice for swaying at a beach wedding.Īs a Disney movie fan, I definitely couldn’t leave this one off the list. Due to growing up with the laid-back lifestyle of the Hawaiian islands, many of Johnson’s songs have a very “beachy” feel to them, and this particular tune of his is no exception.įor the easy-going couple that doesn’t want a lot of flash and glitz for the first dance of their married life, this song is perfect. The slow island-influenced beat will have you, your groom, and quite possibly all your guests, jammin’ on the dance floor for the first dance as a married couple for your beach wedding.īorn and raised in Hawaii, Jack Johnson is a folk rock singer-songwriter, surfer, filmmaker and musician.

Although many of this Jamaican artist’s tunes were influenced by the social issues going on around him at the time, this one is all about the love. If you and your groom are in the mood to add some reggae style to your big day, you’ll definitely want to consider a first dance song by Bob Marley.

It’s more about just describing the perfect island getaway – where you and your love can be far from the stresses and just enjoy each other’s company. The band originally formed in the early 1960s, but “Kokomo” was not written and recorded until the spring of 1988.Īlthough The Beach Boys mention quite a few tropical places of interest throughout the song, the island of Kokomo located “off the Florida Keys” does not actually exist. Many tunes from this band would work as a first dance song, but this one is especially nice because of its tropical feel.

The sixth installment of our First Dance Songs series talks about five tunes that would be a perfect fit for a beach wedding!ġ. While beach weddings can come in all different styles and forms, most bring with them a more relaxed, care-free atmosphere that some of the more formal weddings sometimes lack. If you and your groom are planning on a exciting, romantic beach wedding, this colder weather probably has you looking forward to the day even more. I may be slipping on my boots and digging in the closet for my warm gloves, but in my mind, I’m sitting on a sunny beach – feet in the sand and reading a fantastic book. So, maybe due to the little bit of snow we’ve seen lately, ( in March for goodness’ sake), I’m thinking even more about the beach than usual. While I’m a native Michigander that’s used to snow, I’ve definitely become spoiled by the warmer weather down here in the South.
