I'd say just make an announcement that the bride will be taking a first dance. and then ethier space out the father daughter, or do it right after. Everyone would love to stop what they are doing and treasure the beautiful moment!
Those are respected and expected traditions, so don't worry about if no one else gets to dance and you do :)
We didn't have dancing at my wedding either, but we did have a first dance and a father/daughter dance. It flowed just fine and we didn't have any issues with it. :) Everyone was happy to watch the traditional stuff!
My wedding is going to be the same way...
My wedding planner suggested that guests eat and mingle and once there is kind of a lull in the day, have someone announce the dances so it breaks the day up a little bit. I'm not sure if it will work for the overall feel of your day, I just thought I'd share some advice I got last week. :)
At the wedding we went to last night, they danced right after they cut the cake. That was the only dancing (the bride and groom's first dance) and it flowed really well because people were already paying attention to where they were and what they were doing, instead of being surprised if they had started to mingle or whatever. :)
There is no dance floor at our wedding either, all out door venue. I just really want a first dance too. So we are going to have the toast made and then say the bride and groom would like a moment to dance as husband and wife for the first time. If people want to stop and watch great if not they can continue to mingle and eat. If after that other people want to find a little corner of the grounds to dance with their signficant other I don't mind but it is up to them to find a spot. I love that weddings have gotten so much less fussy these days. People can do what is right for them and not be as intimidated by rules. Have a great day!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My wedding is going to be a sunday morning brunch with garden party type games. There isn't going to be a dance floor or a DJ. We are going to do an itunes playlist so it isn't just silence. I am perfectly happy without having dancing. That just isn't what I am going for with my wedding.
But I desperately want a first dance and a father/daughter dance. How would you include those in a wedding like mine?
