Ceremony Ideas

 

Prelude music: As guests are entering. Can just be random love songs, or classical music. 

You don’t have to pick specific songs, just give me a genre you would like.

 

Parents Entrance/Groomsmen Entrance: Short Interlude type song

 

Bridesmaids/Flower Girls Entrance: Longer song that can be repeated depending on the number of Bridesmaids.

 

Bride’s Entrance: Main theme of a song short snippet

 

During the ceremony:  Only if you have something like the unity candle, or the “sand tradition”;

or if you want a song instead of a reading.

 

Recessional:  Song long enough for Bride/Groom and all bridal party to exit.
