Need Help with Processional Music Choice

shalinilg

Hi! My fiancee chose "Time in A Bottle" by Jim Croce as the song playing in the background when he proposed to me so we both thought it would be fitting I walk down the aisle to that. But, he really wants the bridesmaids to walk in to a different song (he wants that break/emphasis on when I enter) and I'm concerned about the music flow if there are two different songs.

Can anyone suggest a song that might fit with Time in A Bottle for my bridesmaids to walk into? Thanks!

the suggestions could be endless. Its very normal to have two different songs between the bridesmaids and then the bride.  It can fade out when bridesmaids are done; then they usually signal for everyone to stand for the bride.  We have two songs for our processional (one for seating of the moms & grandparents; one song for bridesmaids and then one song for me.  I know I am for sure walking to "Marry Me" from Train;  I am back and forth daily with the following for the others:

My Wish- rascal Flatts
Fools Rush In-Ingrid Michaelson
We Found Love- cover artist acoustic version
Thousand Years- Christina Perri

Thanks! I guess I'm struggling with the idea that the music choices for my bridesmaids and myself won't "flow," but that is exactly what my fiancee wants! I'm not a huge fan of spotlight, but he wants me to have that moment.

I've changed my "walk down the aisle" music several times...
I had an instrumental version of the "Prayer" at first...but now I have "From this Moment On"...

It's so hard to decide...unless a particular song has meaning...like you have.

For my bridal party...kids...etc... I choose the "Butterfly Waltz".
We have an outside ceremony, so that seemed fitting.

Good luck.
