You've considered your first dance music and probably had a few cross words about it but don't forget to consider your ceremony music too!

Here some inspiration for The Processional (walking in) - we've looked at traditional, whats popular some songs that we just love ourselves.

Processional

1) The Bridal Chorus - Wagner

Probably the most famous piece of bridal entrance music - often referred to as Here comes the Bride - so if you want traditional stick to this! (This version is slightly reworked by Vicente Avella on piano)

2) Canon in D - Pachelbel

Another very popular choice, this gorgeous piece of music sounds beautiful played by a traditional quartet but you'll also love this version by Per-Olov Kindgren.

3) A Thousand Years - Christina Perri (2014)

You might fancy walking into the stunning vocals of Christina Perri and relive the magical Twilight movie moment but if you don't want vocals an simply want the music...

...then here is a gorgeous version by the Piano Guys which is sure to make your heart melt.

4) Glasgow Love Theme (Love Actually) - Craig Armstrong (2003)

The Heartbreakingly beautiful Glasgow Love Theme from Love Actually is sure to bing tears to guests eyes as they see you enter the room - a great choice for film fans.

''The ‘Glasgow Love Theme’ had a romantic loneliness about it which seemed to reflect the unrequited love throughout the film'' - Craig Armstong

5) Bryan Adams - (Everything I do) I do it for you (1991)

Still holding onto the title of the longest single at number one consecutively in the British Singles Charts (spending a whopping sixteen weeks!), Bryan Adams spectacular (Everything I do) I do it for you is still a favourite for brides when entering the room.

Also a popular choice as a first dance - this song is a must at all weddings!

6) Westlife- Beautiful in White

With a gorgeous intro and the smooth voice of Shane Filan its sure to be a hit when walking into the ceremony. It's got gorgeous lyrics to make your bride feel like a million dollars when she walks in.

7) Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (2007)

The simply beautiful Oscar winning song by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova is fast becoming a popular song at weddings. Personally we love it as an entrance song due to the perfect guitar and piano use at the start.

If you love this song but aren't sure if its for you still try the Ronan Keating version featuring the Shires form 2016. We found this is much slower, were impressed with Ronan's gravely voice really encapsulates the true depth of this song and lyrical meanings. The passion is just felt throughout this song....

8) The Script - Never Seen Anything ''Quite Like You'' (2014)

One of our favourite Script songs - a lovely piano solo at the start with simple lyrics leading to an orchestral middle - perfect for the bridal entrance once the rest of the bridal party has entered.

9) Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You? (2012)

No wedding song list would ever be complete without Ellie Gouldings hauntingly beautiful voice which just makes this song perfect as an entrance song. Its a simple song, has the perfect tempo to be able to walk into the ceremony gracefully and keeping a slow pace.

10) Marry Me - Train (2009)

A simple song with just a guitar and Patrick Monahan's well recognised voice makes this gorgeous tune a perfect entrance song.

He breaths life into lyrics such as ''You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you and your beautiful''.

Like this song but prefer a female voice? Try the Train and Martina Mcbride live version - her stunning voice really provides another angle to an already great song!

Your guests will just love listening to it as much as you'll love playing it.

11) Take My Hand (The Wedding Song)
