For our wedding, the moms and bridal party walked down the aisle to a violin cover of "My Heart Will Go On" by Taylor Davis.

That is a very sweet song you are walking to! Now, it is going to be a bit tricky to "match" to your bridesmaid's, but not impossible.

Because it is "non-traditional" but has a contemporary pop beat, you could pair it to an equally contemporary song like, "Just the Way You are" by Bruno Mars, "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran, "Meant to Be" by Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha, or "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran.

If you had the instrumental version of "Speechless" with either a harp, piano, guitar, or violin + cello, it gives you so many more options for your choices in songs- especially other instrumental versions.

For example:
- "You and Me" by Lifehouse

- A quirky choice could be "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, but the instrumental version is peppy and lighthearted, and could compliment a slower, but happy version of "Speechless". It is a nice transition from the bridesmaids to shift the focus on you, the bride.

-"Family" by The Chainsmokers and Kygo
(A bit more serious, but heartfelt)

Another benefit of doing instrumental versions, it that it can give older guests an appreciation of the song before they may listen to the pop version. Having live musicians is also a nice touch (should you choose this option), and give the ceremony more "dimension" in terms of setting the mood.

Who knows?! You could have this as your exit song:

(I am a fan of an exit song being a bit louder, and more dynamic than the entrance, and starting when you kiss, or shortly after)

Some food for thought:

-"Speechless" on an acoustic guitar

- "Speechless" on a Harp
