A winter wedding can look absolutely beautiful. But which songs, hymns or carols should you incorporate into your big day that highlights this sensational season without being too Christmassy? We\u2019ve selected five that go perfectly!<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter \u2013 Vivaldi<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you play this exceptional tune from speakers or a string quartet as it truly is beautiful music to have as you walk down the aisle. Alternatively, you might wish to have Vivaldi playing whilst everybody is taking their seats for their ceremony; it really is a magnificent piece of wedding music. Even so, you might wish to skip the first two minutes as they are a tad intense for the ceremony! From then on though, this is a perfect tune for a winter wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking in the Air \u2013 Peter Auty<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter who? Aled Jones is the person most famous for singing Walking in the Air but did you know that it was actually Peter Auty who sang the song that you hear in The Snowman? He was too old to record it when the song became a hit so along came Aled Jones to take the glory. But let\u2019s back on track: this is a stunning winter song to have at your wedding because it sounds superb no matter which instrument plays it. Harp, guitar, string quartet, solo vocalist\u2026 They all sound perfect. It\u2019s also just the right amount of Christmassy for your ceremony, paying homage to the season but not being overtly about the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is all Around \u2013 The Troggs<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an interesting one because although it was a summer hit way when Wet Wet Wet covered it back in 1994, a lot of your guests will hear Love is all Around and think of Christmas. Why? Thanks to Love Actually of course! In the film, Billy Mack records his own festive version of the song and it actually works rather well. A lovely tune that is sure to have a few people tapping their toes as you walk down the aisle, we think it sounds absolutely gorgeous from a string quartet, which is perhaps why the Troggs\u2019 had one on the original hit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Once in Royal David\u2019s City \u2013 Choir of King\u2019s College, Cambridge<\/span><\/p>\n

For this particular list, you could honestly pick any Christmas carol so if Once in Royal David\u2019s City isn\u2019t your type of tune then feel free to swap it for something more up your street. Whether you\u2019d like your congregation to sing a carol or book a choir to do the honours, there\u2019s no denying that there is a sensational sense of beauty to the finest carols and it\u2019s definitely a perk of getting married in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

All You Need is Love \u2013 Lynden David Hall<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, yes, yes, we know that it\u2019s another song from Love Actually but this one even features in the wedding scene at the beginning of the film! What more inspiration could you need? Soulfully sang by Lynden David Hall, various instruments appear from the pews during the ceremony, much to the delight of Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor.<\/span><\/p>\n
