A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

If you want to enhance the bride’s princess feeling at the wedding or reception, how about the theme song from Disney’s animated film Cinderella? Its Japanese title is “Yume wa Hisokani” (A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes).

You might also enjoy comparing different versions, such as the one sung by actress Lily James in the live-action Cinderella.

All Is Full Of Love

This is a signature song by Icelandic songstress Björk, inspired by the arrival of spring and Norse mythology.

After being included on her 1997 album Homogenic, it was released as a single in 1999.

Its dreamlike, majestic atmosphere can lend a profound sense of gravitas to weddings and receptions.

The song’s message—that love comes from unexpected places—gently encourages couples embarking on a new chapter in life.

The music video, which portrays the love between robots, also drew attention and helped cement Björk’s status as an innovative artist.
