Ceremony music...need HHHHEEEEELLLPPPP!

I have 8 days to go and have NOT picked out my ceremony music. I need some major help. We are having live musicians- a violinist and guitarist. And I can't seem to make a decision! I wanted "Sweet Child of Mine" as my processional, but the lady told me it wouldn't right (or great) with only violin and guitar. So, I am at square one.

I am thinking of my recssional "Just the Way You Are" if the musician thinks it will sound nice. She really isn't giving me much direction and told me it was up to me. I'm like, lady you're the professional here!

So, I know everyone has mentioned theirs....what are your BMs walking to and what are YOU walking to? I'm on Youtube and getting no where fast.

Thanks, ladies :)

    I haven't decided yet either, but we're just goin traditional, classic Mozart/ Bach (i.e. Pomp and Circumstance, etc.) My FI is trained in classical trombone, so he didn't wanna mess with anything modern or edgy for the ceremony.  we have fun stuff planned for the Reception, but the ceremony is very straightforward.  Sorry I couldn't give you any fun ideas :-/

    Bridesmaids - Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (clicky)
    Me - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol (clicky)

    Both are covers by Vitamin String Quartet.  I would check out Hallelujah...I think your musicians could work with that, and it's SO pretty!

    First of all...breathe! :)

    These are my music selections for the ceremony (we are having a harpist). And she told me that she can actually make any song sound good on just the harp....

    Prelude Music (while guests arrive)
    1. From this Moment (Shania Twain)
    2. Love Story (Taylor Swift)
    3. Rhythm of Love (Plain White Ts)
    4. Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars)
    5. You're Beatiful (James Blunt)
    6. A Whole New World (Theme from Disney's Alladin)
    7. Love's Theme (Barry White's Orchestra)
    8. Tonight I Celebrate My Love (not sure who sings this! lol)
    9. Over the Rainbow (Wizard of Oz Theme)
    10. What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
    11. Fools Rush In (Elvis Presley)
    12. Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers - Theme from Ghost)

    Then, while the mothers are seated she will be playing Trumpet Tune (this is pretty traditional)

    For the processional its gonna be Marry Me (Train).

    And when I walk in it will be the Bridal March (Traditional Here Comes the Bride)

    We are having a sand Ceremony and during that time she will play Grow Old WIth Me (John Lennon)

    And for the recessional it will be the Wedding March (pretty traditional as well) and then the postlude will be Marry Me (Train) again.

    Hope this helps!!

    We are doing church so nothing too secular... But we are having 1 musician and its going to be a bit different... We are actually doing Celtic music for professional and recessional. Check out like the Irishwedding song our other Celtic music.

    I am in pretty much the same boat. The only thing I have figured out is that I am walking to Canon in D Major (I'm unsure of which version I want, torn between the violin and piano duet and the cello)

    sorry if it wasn't much help.
