How to Choose Your Bridal Processional
Walking down the aisle for the entrance of your wedding is one of the greatest and most memorable moments of life! I have witnessed hundreds of weddings and the moment of the wedding that has the most emotional impact (except perhaps the vows) happens when you, the bride, process down the aisle.
There is something truly magical at that moment when you transcend all the worries of planning for the wedding and now look forward to the rest of your life with the man of your dreams. As the music progresses during the processional, there is hardly a dry eye amongst the bridesmaids and the groomsmen are in a contemplative state. It is a moment you have been looking forward to for many years and is something you will never forget. That is why choosing the right music for your bridal processional is so important. You may want to walk down the aisle to music that is stately and grand, or to music that has been a traditional standard, or to music that is meditative and contemplative. You may want to walk down the aisle to something that has personal meaning in your life or you may want to find a selection of music that is not frequently used for other weddings. To help you you decide, it should be something that helps portray your personality as well as personal tastes for music. If you would like entrance music that is stately and grand, there are many options. A couple examples are Allegro from the Royal Fireworks Suite by G.F. Handel and Prelude from Te Deum Marc-Charpentier. If you would like the old traditional that your mother may have walked down the aisle to, you may want to use Bridal March by Wagner. You may want to use the new traditional processional, Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clarke, that has been frequently played since the wedding of Princess Diana in the early 1980's. Sometimes, brides choose something that is more contemplative such as Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by J.S. Bach. Or you may choose a processional that is not used at weddings often but is still an incredible and first-rate option such as the Grand Choeur Dialogue by Eugene Gigout.
