When you begin that walk down the aisle towards your fianc\u00e9 the atmosphere is going to be electric. So make sure the music you choose is not going to kill the mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you be classical or a little bit rock\u2019n\u2019roll?<\/span><\/p>\n

So what sort of music do you think you\u2019ll walk too?<\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest that you don\u2019t choose anything too cutting edge. That doesn\u2019t mean to say you can\u2019t show off your taste in music but if you choose that week\u2019s number one hit, you might regret it in years to come. Just as you might regret wearing a wedding dress<\/a> that\u2019s heavily styled for the moment. Go a little classic and you\u2019ll never be out of style.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also some things you\u2019ll need to bear in mind when making your music choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to consider just how long it\u2019s going to take you to walk down the aisle. It usually takes about one to two minutes for most brides to walk the aisle. So choose a piece that doesn\u2019t have a long intro or is instantly recognisable. If you\u2019re planning a religious ceremony, some churches won\u2019t allow you to play non-classical music or your own music. So you need to check your choices with the vicar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, you should be thinking about how your music is going to be played. If it\u2019s in a religious building, keep it classic and have it played on the organ. Alternatively, you could organise your own musicians to full the hall with romance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clair de Lune by Debussy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a gorgeous tune to have played on the piano. It\u2019s quiet, atmospheric and very romantic. Also not religious, so you could have it played while your guests are being seated.<\/span><\/p>\n
