Your wedding dance should be something you look forward to, not something you're dreading. It's the one dance where you can pretty much guarantee that all eyes will be on you and your new partner.

Here are 5 top tips to help you prepare for this special event and make sure it's an absolute success!

1. Select a song that means something to you both
   This is probably the most critical aspect of your first dance. Whether it's the song that was playing when you first met or a song written by one of you for the other, picking a song that holds some meaning for you both, will ensure you relate to and feel emotionally connected to each other throughout the duration of your dance.
2. Practice, practice, practice
   As they say, practice makes perfect. Whether you decide to 'wing it' on the night or have lessons to perform a choreographed dance, you should at least have some idea of the moves you'll be making together on the night.
3. Focus on each other, not the rest of the room
   This is your special day and the focus you have on each other will shine through. By focussing inwards, you're not only less likely to stumble but this is where your attention should be.
4. Invite your family and friends to join you
   If you want to create an inclusive environment and you are close to your family, it might be an idea to invite your family up to join you on the dance floor.
5. Consider a live element
   Whether it's a live band, a fireworks display or even a feature piece like a champagne fountain, it's these kind of special touches that guests will remember for years to come.
