Popular Wedding Ceremony Music

It used to be that all brides walked down the aisle to the strains of the traditional “Here comes the Bride.” Wagner’s classic wedding music, “dum dum da dum” is a piece of music most Americans have heard at least once in their lives. Many brides are choosing different music not only for the wedding ceremony, but for the traditional bridal walk down the aisle as well.

What Should You Choose?

If you are a bride that walks to the beat of a different drummer, you will want your music for your wedding ceremony to reveal that. Your unique personality can be reflected in the music you choose for your service. Music is powerful when it comes to setting the mood or eliciting emotions and what you decide to play at your wedding ceremony can begin the ambience of the whole event.

Traditional favorites might include Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon in D.” Another popular wedding ceremony selection is “Guitar Concerto in D Major” by Vivaldi, and Handel’s “Air” is something you will often hear at wedding ceremonies.

Classical music selections for your wedding ceremony can include Mozart pieces such as “Romance from String Quartet,” or “Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major.” Johann Sebastian Bach is well known for his lullabies, but he has beautiful wedding ceremony music too such as “Sinfonia,” “Cantata No. 29” or “Prelude and Fugue in C.” Choosing classical music for your wedding reception will have the elegance and sophistication start as soon as the guests enter.

Songs that are appropriate for a wedding ceremony that are considered contemporary are Nat King Cole’s classic tune, “Unforgettable,” “The Look of Love” sung by Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach, and “Storybook Love” from the film the “The Princess Bride.” You can find many selections that will bring about the ideal mood for your special day.

You can always let the venue where you are having your ceremony choose the music as they often have a predetermined list of preferred songs to play at weddings. This can ease your mind if you are the bride, as there are so many other details for you to see to. But if you want to be more involved in the selections, do your research and listen to some samples of songs and instrumental music that you may be interested in playing at your wedding ceremony to help you choose the perfect music for your perfect day.
