You have worked so hard for everything to be perfect on your wedding day. Now you want to make sure that the beauty and essence of the day is fully captured in your wedding video. Although the wedding video may not be on top of your list, keep in mind that this video will capture your memories and will be shown to family and friends forever.
Expert videographers tell CitySaheli that brides who choose the music for their video prior to the wedding, and communicate their choice with their videographer, generally end up with better videos. Choosing songs early allows your videographer to take footage that corresponds with the rhythm of your music.
Your wedding video will consist of many sections. Although you and your husband will watch the entire video, keep in mind that your family and friends will likely only watch the highlights portion. For newbie brides, the highlights section is a mini video, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, that shows glimpses from your entire wedding.
Since the highlights will undoubtedly be the most viewed portion of your video, choose a song that will truly give the feel for your wedding day. If you’re having trouble selecting your music for the highlights, think about this: Are you a couple with “your song?” Do you have one song that represents just the two of you? Many couples select the song they first dance to as husband and wife. If you want to use a Hindi song, ask someone to translate it for you, so you are sure you like its meaning. If you are still having a tough time choosing the right song, don’t hesitate to ask your DJ or band for suggestions. They will recommend both new and classic music for you to choose from.
CitySaheli has also done digging and found some of the most popular songs recently used in the highlights section by Desi brides.
