Ceremony music

Hello,


Do you and your FH have any songs that you both really enjoy? My husband and I made yearly playlists as we were dating (we are cheesy like that) and just picked songs from those playlists.

For our bridesmaids we played “Turning Page - Sleeping at Last”. We liked it as the lyrics are very sweet, and he is an avid reader so it was super fitting. https://youtu.be/vkbfsz3p7us

We didn’t have a ring bearer or flower girl so I don’t have suggestions there. But I agree with Hank, find out songs the kids like and then to “spruce” it up get instrumental covers of those songs so the tempo and song fits the occasion if it’s out there.
I wanted down the aisle to “The Scientist — Coldplay” — not a fully romantic song with its lyrics but was tied to a special moment. To fit the occasion we had a piano and cello cover of the song. Here are the two versions to show instrumentals do really make songs sound more sweet.https://youtu.be/s70osxldd94 Here is the cover: https://youtu.be/9eipllih7qg This also made it long or short enough when there is no lyrics to go with the up in the air timing that sometimes occurs.


Hope you find what you are looking for! By the way, Brooklyn Duo does BEAUTIFUL covers of common songs.

I imagine you have chosen the song for the flower girls and the ring bearer. I'm sure its something nice they like.

Try asking the girls what they would like that would fit a wedding ceremony mood.

I'm just using the beginning of my song since it's a long song. But if you have a song that you wanted but didn't make the cut?
