Rev. Annika appreciates every aspect of a ceremony, but she acknowledges that the beginning processional always warms her heart. Most couples devote considerable time to selecting the ideal songs that establish the tone for the remainder of the ceremony and reflect their personal preferences, including their family and friends
accompanying them down the aisle.

For couples choosing wedding music to walk down the aisle to, consider these unique bridal processional songs. In our list of alternative wedding songs for your walk down the aisle, you'll find all kinds of genres and moment-appropriate love songs from artists like Sade, Chris Stapleton, Led Zeppeli...
