Choosing your ceremony entrance music is such a personal decision. You want something that sets the tone, captures the emotion of the moment, and most importantly feels like you. But with so many options out there, it’s easy to get stuck when choosing your walk down the aisle song.
That’s why I started a little series over on Instagram: “What if you walked down the aisle to…” – reimagining some well-known (and lesser-known) songs in a romantic, piano-led style.
In this post, I’ve brought together 13 of those walk down the aisle songs for you to explore. Whether you love indie classics, movie soundtracks or soft piano covers of rock anthems, there might be something here you hadn’t thought of yet.
Let’s dive in…
