"25-Year-Old's Curated Playlist: Thoughtfully Crafted BGM for Every Scene of a Wedding from Start to Finish"

Seriously Thinking About the Songs I Want to Play at My Wedding!

Thinking about wedding BGM can be both fun and challenging.

"I must have a lot of favorite songs, but some just don’t fit the wedding vibe."

"On the other hand, I haven’t checked out recent songs, so I have no idea what’s good."

"Honestly, I don’t have much passion or particular attachment to music, so there aren’t any songs that I especially want to play."

"There are songs I used to listen to, but I worry that if I only play those, it might feel outdated...?"

"Also, if my choices are too biased towards my personal tastes or favorite artists, it might make the wedding feel less stylish."

"I also want people to think, 'Great choice of music!'"

There’s a lot to think about...!!

So in this article, I, a 25-year-old, seriously considered the songs I want to play at my wedding, scene by scene, from the entrance to the exit.＊＊＊

I picked a lot of personal favorite songs I’ve been listening to recently and songs that were trending during my school days.

I searched for and remembered them, so I hope you find this helpful as a reference (since I believe BGM creation reflects personal preferences)♡

Choosing BGM was so much fun♡

For this, I selected wedding BGM from:

- My favorite songs on the music streaming app I use

- Songs I’ve used on TikTok in the past

- Songs from my favorite artists that are used in weddings

I picked about 3 to 4 songs for each scene, so narrowing it down to just one from each will definitely be a challenge, but since I like all of these songs, I feel fine using any of them.

Good luck to everyone creating their wedding BGM list!♡
