What are the wedding music trends for 2021? Due to the ups and downs of this past year, we have experienced a lot of downtime, more than we are used to. This has created new opportunities to explore new hobbies, listen to new music, and take a step away from the real world. Certain songs have the ability to create emotion and while planning a wedding, you want to have a set playlist for your favorite songs. These songs create emotional ties between you and your loved ones. These are the songs that you want at your wedding! The songs that make you cry, laugh, dance, and enjoy the evening! Here are a few 2021 wedding music trends you may have forgotten about!

Processional options: 

Have you ever seen the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” ? If you have, you know that the scene I am about to tell you!
