Your wedding ceremony music sets the tone for your entire day. Though you'll likely be focused on not tripping down the aisle, you still want the songs to reflect your style and relationship.
Here are tips for choosing your perfect wedding ceremony songs:
Processional
As the bridal party walks down the aisle, choose an upbeat or dramatic instrumental like Pachelbel's Canon in D or the Triumphal March.
Bride's Entrance
Opt for a romantic and stately ballad when the bride makes her grand entrance, like Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" or "Canon in D".
Unity Ceremony
Pick a smooth, contemporary tune with sentimental lyrics for your unity candle lighting or sand ceremony.
Recessional
Close out your ceremony on a high celebratory note with joyful music the newlyweds exit to like "Ode to Joy", "Happy" by Pharrell, or the Hora folk dance.
Overall, select ceremony songs that reflect your wedding style whether it's classic, quirky, religious, rustic, etc. Work with your officiant to coordinate the most impactful musical flow.
