Most traditional Jewish brides walk down the aisle to "Dodi Li" (at least that's what I did).  But really, anything goes as long as it's not the "Bridal March" by Richard Wagner - he was a virulent anti-Semite!

ETA:  Bridal party walked down to Erev Shel Shoshanim.

I am going to walk down the aisle to Erev Shel Shoshnim which means Night of the Liles or Roses

A lot of Jewish brides walk down the aisle to Pachbel's Cannon as well.

Something completely different..... I am walking down the aisle to the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana by P. Mascagni.  The whole bridal party is walking down to this.

My bridal party walked to Erev Shel Shoshanim and I walked to Yerushalayim Shel Za'hav, which is one of my favorite songs!

I love that song too!  I had the pianist play it pre-ceremony.

We used all classical music, but avoided either Wagner (the official musician of the Third Reich) or Mendelssohn (originally Jewish and converted to Christianity).  For our bridal party, we used Air, from Water Music, by Handel.  For us, we used La Rejouissance (Music For the Royal Fireworks), also by Handel.  A complete list of our ceremony music, including videos, can be found at this link.

I'm walking to Pachelbel's Canon - I've had my heart set on it for years.  Haven't decided what the WP will walk to though.

I'm walking down using the Theme from Cinema Paradiso (my favorite movie and piece of music). We'll use Jewish music at other points

Our wedding party will walk to "Gutara veKinor" by Arik Einstein, and I will walk to "Li veLach", the Arik Sinai version.

I am thinking maybe Erev Shel Shoshanim for the wedding party??? suggestions welcomed

His mom really wants to walk him down the aisle to Sunrise, Sunset and I am thinking maybe Sabbath Prayer for me but not sure
