Getting married in 2018 and don’t want to walk towards your significant other to the outdated “here comes the bride”? Many modern couples are opting to update the outdated processional music, opting instead to jazz up their walk down the aisle with anything from alternative classical music to The Beatles. If you’re looking for alternative wedding processional music, here are a few tracks you might consider using.

Classical wedding processional music

Handel’s Water Music (Air)

Whilst not the typical “here comes the bride” theme tune for aisle walks, this classical piece by George Frideric Handel is probably a close cousin. For brides who want to keep things traditional but not generic.

Or if you really want to throw the processional walk rule book out the window, try this electric, upbeat version.

Pictures at an Exhibition

If you are looking for soft, gentle, feminine wedding processional music, this score by Mussorgsky is the one. Try asking your Perth wedding Dj to find a version that’s just piano notes for an elegant entrance similar to this version by The Piano Guys.

Alternative wedding processional music

Etta James (instrumental)

Would a wedding be truly complete without a little shout out to Etta James, the queen of first dance songs? Could the instrumental version of ‘At Last’ be the perfect processional music for your wedding? Without the overplayed lyrics, this song makes for a pretty perfect beat to walk down the aisle to.

Storybook Love - The Princess Bride
