Today's bride has been a guest at many weddings that were not particularly memorable. In particular during the busy wedding seasons, the smart bride is looking for classy ways to distinguish her wedding ceremony from everyone else's.
By planning early, a bride can find many ways to make the ceremony her own.
As well as writing her own vows and personalizing the programs, she can make her wedding more distinctive by carefully choosing music for her processional. One of the most emotional and important parts of the wedding day is a bride's walk down the aisle.
Up till now many brides never fully explore their ceremony music options and simply choose one of several traditional songs for their processional.
Some brides think beyond Wagner, but fall into a similar trap. Thus songs that were unique as processionals even ten years ago – like Pachelbel’s Canon in D – are now commonplace.
Though some churches restrict music options, many others are allowing brides to choose any tasteful piece of music for their entrance.
While selecting one of today's popular songs may seem fashionable and fun, this strategy poses two risks.
Firstly, the music might date the wedding terribly – close your eyes and imagine a pouf-y sleeved, aqua colored shiny satin bridesmaid’s dress from the 80’s and you’ll get the idea.
