Ed Sheeran has been one of the biggest artists of the decade, especially when it comes to first dances at your friends’ weddings. Though some of his most popular songs have been acoustic ballads, he’s also had several faster-paced hits, along with those where he demonstrates his rapping abilities. As the majority of weddings need more music than for the processional and first dance, we wanted to include a variety of songs by the artist that can be used throughout the celebration. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, swaying with your new spouse, or cutting up the dance floor with your bridesmaids, at least one of these tunes is sure to add something special to your nuptials. Take a look at our selections of Ed Sheeran songs to consider for your big day.
