[Bouquet Presentation] Popular Wedding Songs for Different Scenes at Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

The moving event that comes toward the end of a wedding reception: the “bouquet presentation.” Watching the couple present a bouquet filled with overflowing gratitude to the parents who raised them is enough to bring anyone to tears.

In this article, we introduce emotional masterpieces perfect as BGM to grace such a meaningful moment.

“Thank you for raising me,” “I’m sorry for always pushing back and not being honest,” “I look forward to your continued support.” Let’s send a wonderful song that speaks these feelings on your behalf—together with the bouquet.

This is a Mariah Carey ballad that begins with a dreamy tone.

It’s often used for entrances such as during an outfit change, but it also fits perfectly for the most moving bouquet presentation scene.

You don’t have to start from the very beginning; starting from the chorus part partway through works well too.

Starting with the lyrics “hey, dad, look at me,” this song, which feels like a son speaking to his father, could be a great choice for wedding reception background music.

Typically, there isn’t a letter from the groom to his parents, so how about using it during the bouquet and commemorative gift presentation scene?
