I need some help with songs.  I'm going to walk down the isle to Canon in D but I can't decide what to use for the bridal party.  Any suggestions on traditional songs that will fit with the Canon in D.  Thanks!

    Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring or Trumpet Voluntary by Clarke are two of my favorites.

    I always liked Air on the G String.  I think that would work with Cannon in D.  I've also heard of girls using Cannon in D the entire time, then simply cranking it up for the bride.  I will probably use Air and Cannon for parents, candle lighting, and bridal party then walk down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary.  I know some girls used beautiful instrumental versions of secular songs, as well.

    I'm using Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring for grandparents, How Beautiful for parents, Canon in D for bridesmaids, and I'm walking down to Trumpet Voluntary.

    I used Canon in D for the moms, Jesu for the BP, and I walked down to Trumpet Voluntary.  When I heard it being played in the church, I knew that's what I wanted to walk down the aisle to.  You can also choose Spring by Vivaldi.
