Who else is using the traditional Wedding March song?

I'm walking down the aisle to 'Your Song' by Ellie Goulding.

You can absolutely still use that song if your wedding isn't in a church!

I'm using the Bridal Chorus and I'm not in a church church.... I like the traditional. Plus I think guest are use to it and will know to stand with the intro.

Yes im totally thinking about using the bridal march piano version, for my garden wedding i like that element of tradition

Pachabel Canon in D for this bride.

I am doing canon in D as well, because it was my parents wedding music, and I don't care if its overdone or whatever, its special to me because my mom came down the stairs to the same music. We are having it played on an acoustic guitar so its sounds a bit different than the traditional strings

I am doing Canon in D. I also considered Rebecca's March... its similar to the bridal march but prettier (I think anyway). Another good one is Trumpet Voluntary.

I chose Canon in D because when our Music Director started playing it, I got all teary eyed. I pictured myself walking in.

Thank you Rosemary!!!

Glad I'm not the only one that still loves tradition :-)

I love Mendelssohn's Wedding March! I'm debating whether to use it for the recessional as well. I love it, but I feel like it might have a bit too much "fanfare" since our wedding is fairly small. But whatever I choose, it will be classical--that's what I like for music, and I'm not really a fan of pop music in ceremonies.

I'm either using wedidng march or Canon in D. I cant remember right now which one I picked.

Im probably using the traditional wedding march and as we walk out the other one, its not a church wedding i just dont have any idea. we meet the dj on saturday so well see

To clarify, "Wedding March" by Mendelssohn is the one usually used as exit music (recessional). The traditional "Here Comes the Bride" often used for the processional is the Bridal Chorus by Wagner. A lot of people get these two mixed up!

I'm using a guitar version of Canon in D.

I'm playing Wagner's Bridal Chorus. Getting married in a church, playing on the organ.

@Moissa, that sounds beautiful! Love that idea.

Read this. Thought it was interesting. "There are 2 wedding marches that are used all over the world: this and Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" (like Wagner, Mendelssohn was from Germany, but he was Jewish). These two pieces became a tradition for weddings that started with Victoria, Queen of England... she chose Wagner's one for the entrance of the bride and the Mendelssohn one for the exit of the couple. In modern times it is normally used the other way around."

I've thought about using the traditional or maybe Come Thou Fount (of Every Blessing). I absolutely love the song...

I kinda thought the same thing, but I'm over the whole notion of "trying to be different." If a song stuck out as appropriate, I would pick it. Nothing did, so we're going the traditional route. Our ceremony is not in a church. It's at an indoor garden. I'm doing the traditional processional and recessional. In fact, 100% of my pre-ceremony music is classical music, then all of my post-recessional music is a mix of classic love songs and current love songs.

I'll be using the bridal march at a non church ceremony played on the sax

I am also pretty traditional, ALSO not getting married in a church (we're getting married outside) and also planning on the traditional wedding march

ETA: We are using a string trio for the ceremony music
