Tips for choosing your song

•Think about what style fits your ceremony setting. A rustic barn wedding might suit a soft acoustic cover, while a formal venue might call for something more classical. Listen to the lyrics.

•Make sure they actually say what you want to express in that moment.

•Time your song. You will want it to be long enough to walk down the aisle but not so long that it feels drawn out. Most people fade the music once you reach the front.

•Consider live music. A live version by a singer or string quartet can add a beautiful personal touch to your ceremony.

Final thoughts

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to your aisle song. It is your moment, so whether you choose a traditional piece of classical music or an indie love song you have always adored, make it something that speaks to you.
