How to Create a Memorable Playlist for Your Bridesmaids
Hey Brides! Don’t forget about music for your BFFs!
Quick Tips
When picking out music for your wedding, you must consider your bridesmaids at 3 moments during your wedding:
1. What song are the bridesmaids going to walk down the aisle to?
2. What song will your bridesmaids be introduced to entering the reception hall?
3. Is there a special song that must be played during the reception to dance with your bridesmaids?
As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of popular songs for bridesmaids during a wedding day! The list is grouped by wedding moments.
Songs for Bridesmaids Processional
When selecting a song, try to select a song that is not about “I Love You” or “Marry Me”. Save these for the couple getting married.
Common songs that are played as your bridesmaids walk down the aisle are below. These include cover songs to popular wedding songs so that you don’t have the same song at every wedding. Although, you can have those too if you love them!

I could list thousands of songs that fit your bridesmaids. However, they will always be trumped by songs that mean something between you and your bridesmaids. Even if is your favorite song at the club or the song that was always playing on the speakers while together – that is the song that should be played!
Do you have a bridesmaid song that should be added to the list? Please share the song below in the comments.
