Did you know? The tradition of the first dance dates back to European aristocratic balls during the Renaissance period (14th–17th centuries). At these formal gatherings, the highest-ranking couple, often royalty or nobility, would open the dance floor to mark the start of the event.
Over time, the custom carried into weddings, with the newly married couple taking the place of royalty. The tradition is not only a cherished, personal moment for the couple, but also opens the dance floor for other special dances and guests! 💍
