It is a beautiful tradition for the bride to dance with her father directly after the first dance. This symbolises the love and appreciation you have for your father and how, although you are now a married woman, you will always be “your father’s daughter”.
Your wedding day traditionally has 4 key moments with your father:
The first look, walking down the aisle, the father of the bride speech, and finally your
father-daughter dance.
While you are unable to overly plan or prepare the first 3 of these moments, the dance with your father is certainly something which can be prepared. And a little preparation here makes a big difference.
We often get approached by brides asking if we are able to help choreograph the father-daughter dance. The answer to this is of course yes. Like the first dance as newlyweds, this father-daughter dance is a very special moment and will create a meaningful memory.
