We are now officially 2 months away from the big day and we are starting to contemplate some of the smaller details. I am trying to come up with some ideas for our processional and recessional, what is everyone else doing?

I brought up Vitamin String Quartet "Don't Stop Believing" for our recessional but I don't think FH is sold on it. Would love to hear what direction others are going with theirs!

    Definitely following this. I am having the hardest time with music... so glad I started because I may use VSQ. Seeing what FH thinks now.

    Y'all have such great options! Thank you for sharing! I need to sit down with FH and decide - I do know that at least one of ours will be a VSQ song Smiley smile

    Not sure about the bridal party processional yet, but mine will be "Love Me Like You Do" on the violin. Our recessional will be "Shake It Off" on the violin.

    So i am still on the fence about this and it's one of the reasons i haven't submitted my music to the dj yet lol...

    but for the whole bridal party we are doing an acoustic guitar instrumental version of crazy love (originally by van morrison)

    for bride walk we are doing a ukulele version of here comes the bride (beach wedding so string instrumentals just don't fit the atmosphere)

    for the recessional we are going to do I'm yours by jason mraz.

    Bridal Party- "Turning Page" Sleeping at last

    Me- "A Thousand Years" Instrumental version, Piano Guys.

    Recession- NO IDEA!! I like "I feel good" by James Brown OR Bob Marley "Is this love", "could you be loved", or "three little birds" because we are going to Jamaica for our Honeymoon so to me that seems fitting.

    An idea for you guys, my sister played "I believe in a thing called love" by The Darkness and it was literally the funnest song I have ever heard as a recessional. I would snatch it in a heartbeat but dont want to be a copycat (her wedding was 2 months ago). Seriously it was a huge hit. People were cracking up and loved it. The whole bridal party danced down the aisle. Good times.

    Following. I've got literally NO idea..... we are having a small wedding (under 75 guests) NO BP. The aisle will be all of about 15 feet, and I can't even think of finding something that short to play for processional! I mean, how slow can I possible walk 15 feet? I think if I stretch it out to a minute? Recessional can be longer, as the guests will be walking out after us, but crap, what am I going to do for a processional?

    Processional is "In My Life". Recessional is "All You Need is Love". Both done acoustically, both classic Beatles, and I get all weepy thinking about it. Smiley smile
