What themes should a Bride consider for her processional song?
Know popular songs chosen to play as a bride walks down the aisle.

Quick Tips
As the bride, select what song to play as you walk down the aisle. You must consider the following 3 factors:
1. What is the tempo of the song to determine how fast you will walk?
2. Does the song match the theme of your wedding – classical, acoustic, or genre?
3. What is the moment of the song when doors will open and guests will see you for the first time?
As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of processional songs just for brides. Songs are selected by the meaning of the song and popular hits by today’s brides-to-be.
