Choosing the right sounds for your wedding is akin to finding the perfect accessories to match your wedding dress. It adds color and ambiance. It speaks to who you and your fiancé are as a couple. And although the majority of the music is offered at the reception, the music at the ceremony can be an exciting way to add a bit of personality to the vows. We have compiled some example of the latest trends and ideas. You can find excellent musicians and DJ's to meet any of these offering at the click of a mouse at OneTwoIDo.com.
Traditional
For over one hundred years, brides in western cultures have met their grooms at the alter with the sounds of the Wagner's Bridal Chorus (Here comes the bride). It is a mainstay and a traditional element that most brides keep regardless of the theme or style of the rest of the music. Take a look at some of our excellent harpist, quartets and pianist vendors and choose from offerings such as Greensleeves, Pachelbel's Canon and the Wedding March by Mendelssohn to continue on the traditional style.
Contemporary
For a more modern ceremony, a DJ is a perfect choice. Work in songs that have meaning to you as couple or that are of sentimental value to your families. Here are some of the hottest contemporary wedding songs:
• Marry Me – Train
• White Sky- Vampire Weekend
• Everything - Michael Buble
• 1,2,3,4 - The Plain White T's
• Today Was a Fairytale - Taylor Swift
Cultural
One of the best ways to add a bit of a personal touch to the ceremony is to choose a cultural theme. Bagpipes, jazz quartets and guitarist can play everything from cultural favorites to traditional mainstays to the latest hits all with a personal air.
