Processional Wedding Ceremony Music
Have your say! The processional is your “walking up the aisle” music! Some brides prefer to have one song for their wedding party, and one song especially for their big entrance. Others use the same song for both. It’s entirely up to you!
How much time to allow:
This all depends on the length of the aisle in your venue, and how fast or slow you walk. Don’t rush yourselves, though – this is your big entrance!
