One of the most important songs for you to choose for your wedding ceremony are the songs to walk down the aisle to.
This song will help set the tone of the entire ceremony, just as your First Dance Song will set the tone of your reception. Whether that be a romantic song, non-traditional, classic, or unique.
Choosing songs for your wedding like the father/daughter dance song, or your bouquet toss song should be fun and be memorable to you and your new spouse.
The romantic song to walk down the aisle to should be something that is meaningful and memorable to you and your fiancé.
This is sure to become a song that will spark all the emotion and bring you right back to that moment for years to come.
When choosing a unique or non-traditional song to walk down the aisle, you should think of songs that mean something to you.
Try to keep it more on the slower side, and decide if you want just the instrumental of the song, or if you actually want the lyrics to be sung.
Another option, if you happen to love a song that’s a bit too harsh for a walk down the aisle, would be to see if there are any softer covers of it, sung by another artist.
There are so many different songs to choose from when it comes to what is best for you, so we researched and talked to several brides to find out what their song was. Here are some of the top answers:
p.s. We used “Kiss The Girl” Instrumental version, since I’m a redhead and have always been called a mermaid, and B is a fisherman who “caught his mermaid”. We used a few little fishing and mermaid details in our wedding, and this song was a huge hit!
