As part of our joyful celebration of The Pink Issue, we’re beyond delighted to feature this truly one of a kind piece from the lovely and talented Serge of DJ: Plus! Entertainment. On Polka Dot Wisdom today, Serge dives deep into the power of music – specifically the raw, honest, and heartfelt lyrics of P!nk, to create a wedding day soundtrack that’s as bold and beautiful as your love story. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for something real and emotionally resonant, this piece is a must-read. Here are some honest and emotional ways to include P!nk’s music in your wedding!

Weddings are filled with colour – both literally and emotionally. So when Polka Dot Wedding announced The Pink Issue, it sparked a fun idea – what if that beautiful blush-hued theme extended beyond florals, décor and feeling… and into the soundtrack of the day?
As someone who believes deeply in the power of music to tell a love story, I thought it would be a meaningful (and slightly cheeky) challenge to match wedding moments with songs by the incomparable P!nk – an artist who embodies vulnerability, strength, and truth in equal measure.
This isn’t just a playlist. It’s a heartfelt guide for couples who want their wedding music to echo what’s real. Music doesn’t just fill the silence – it gives voice to emotions we sometimes struggle to express. Whether it’s a whispered vow, a tearful walk down the aisle, or a dance under the stars, P!nk has a song that can speak for your heart when words fall short.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or simply someone looking for something bold, honest, and deeply emotional, I hope these suggestions help you create a soundtrack that’s as unique, raw, and beautiful as your love.
After all, love isn’t always perfect – but it’s real….and that’s exactly what P!nk sings best.
Here’s how to honour your love story with P!nk’s songs, for each stage of your wedding day.

Lyric to Use: “Could you beam me up? Give me a minute, I don’t know what I’d say in it. I’d probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face.”
