Alright, so you have your playlist for the reception, which includes all your favorite hits from the ’70s through today, but what about a song for the wedding processional? What magic tune do you want to use as you make your way to your groom? If completely lost for ideas, check out these options and get inspired!
- ‘A Thousand Years’ by Cristina Perri: A song all about eternal love, it can definitely work as a wedding processional tune.
- ‘Hallelujah’ by Jeff Buckley: Perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever written, it makes a stunning soundtrack for walking down the aisle. The version by Rufus Wainwright is also ah-mazing.
- ‘La Vie en Rose’ by Andrea Bocelli: Rather go the classical route? Mr. Bocelli is a great pick.
- ‘I Was Married’ by Tegan and Sara: This offering by the indie pop twins is a modern classic.
- “Hoppípolla” by Sigur Rós: A spare, piano-driven song, it provides a highly-romantic option.
- ‘Magic’ by Colbie Caillat: Known for her laid-back tunes, Ms. Caillat’s breathy voice easily lends itself to wedding. This is one of her more romantic songs.
