====== Wedding Processional Songs ======
When it comes to planning your wedding, every detail matters – and that includes the music that will accompany you down the aisle. How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Processional Songs? The processional is one of the most important moments of your ceremony, so it’s important to choose songs that are meaningful to you and your partner.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your processional songs:
- The tone of the ceremony. Are you having a formal or informal ceremony? A religious or secular ceremony? The tone of the ceremony will help you narrow down your choices.
- The size of the wedding party. If you have a large wedding party, you’ll need to choose songs that are long enough to accommodate everyone. If you have a small wedding party, you can choose shorter songs or even just one song.
- The style of music. What kind of music do you and your partner like? Do you want something classical, contemporary, or something in between?
- The lyrics. If the lyrics are important to you, be sure to read them carefully before you choose a song. You don’t want to choose a song with lyrics that don’t reflect your values or your relationship.
Once you’ve considered all of these factors, you can start narrowing down your choices. Here are a few popular processional songs to get you started:
- Canon in D by Pachelbel
- Ave Maria by Schubert
- Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin by Wagner
- Trumpet Voluntary by Clarke
- Hornpipe from Water Music by Handel
- Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by Bach
- Air on the G String by Bach
- Ode to Joy by Beethoven
- Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel
- La Rejouissance by Handel
These are just a few suggestions, of course. There are many other beautiful songs that would be perfect for a wedding processional. The most important thing is to choose songs that are meaningful to you and your partner and that will create the perfect atmosphere for your ceremony.
Here are some additional tips for choosing your processional songs:
- Consider the acoustics of the ceremony space. If you’re having an outdoor ceremony, you’ll need to choose songs that will be audible in a large space. If you’re having an indoor ceremony, you can choose songs that are more delicate and intimate.
- Think about the length of the processional. The processional should be long enough to allow everyone to enter the ceremony space without feeling rushed, but it shouldn’t be so long that it becomes boring.
- Make sure the songs flow well together. The songs you choose should flow well together and create a cohesive soundscape for your ceremony.
- Don’t be afraid to break tradition. You don’t have to choose traditional processional songs. If there’s a song that’s special to you and your partner, go for it!
