You may have spent a long time discussing your first dance song with your partner, but don\u2019t neglect other important pieces of music you\u2019ll need on your day! For your wedding ceremony songs, you\u2019ll need to make at least two choices \u2013 namely, your processional and recessional songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

A processional song is the music that you and your wedding party<\/a> will walk down the aisle to \u2013 you can have one song for everyone, or choose a separate song for your grand entrance. At the end of the ceremony, you and your new husband leave the venue to your recessional music, which tends to be more upbeat than the processional.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Bridal Chorus, Wagner<\/span><\/h3>\n

Often known as Here Comes The Bride, this piece of classical music is the traditional choice for the procession of the bride, and is often played on an organ. We\u2019ve chosen a slightly more modern arrangement by Vicente Avella on classical piano \u2013 that way you can keep the element of tradition without the drama!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Canon in D, Pachelbel<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another very popular choice with brides. This gorgeous piece of music sounds beautiful played by a traditional quartet, but we also love this version by Per-Olov Kindgren on classical guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. A Thousand Years, The Piano Guys (originally Christina Perri)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes couples can\u2019t decide between a classic instrumental or a more modern love song with vocals for their processional music. Why not get the best of both worlds with an instrumental cover of one of your favourite songs? We seriously love this piano and cello cover of Christina Perri \u2013 check out The Piano Guys for more classical covers.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Glasgow Love Theme, from Love Actually<\/span><\/h3>\n

Walking down the aisle to a song from your favourite film soundtrack is another way to incorporate instrumental music with a personal touch into your ceremony. There are loads of options to choose from \u2013 Love Actually is a great place to start, and will have you welling up before you know it.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Marry Me, Train<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want a modern song but aren\u2019t sure what sort of thing to go for, then we think this a great choice. The melody and lyrics are both beautiful, and the tempo isn\u2019t too fast for a processional.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
