Ceremony Music
Since I used to be a music major in college I knew one thing I wanted was excellent music selections throughout the ceremony and reception (or at least stuff I enjoyed). Instead of the traditional Wagner "Here Comes the Bride" entrance, I decided on something a little more romantic and sweet sounding: the theme of Elgar's "Love's Greeting." If you haven't heard it look it up on ITunes and see if you can hear the beginning of it. It is very pretty and I'm suprised it isn't used at more weddings.
Other music selections for the ceremony also include Arioso by J.S. Bach, Waltz no. 15 by Brahms, Traumerei by Schumann, The Wedding March from Midsummers Night's Dream (the classic recessional song), and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen by Grieg (So as you can see Stef, I've got a pretty good mix. Any ideas for the processional for the wedding party? Cuz I've got nothing.) For the dinner part of the reception I found a CD that has just the perfect music! It's called a Table for Two - Music for Falling In Love. I has EVERYTHING that I like, and I didn't have to go searching in a billion different places to find all of the arrangements which was pretty cool. Also a CD I'd reccommend to other brides who want to pipe in some classical during dinner. So yeah, that's it so far. Good night everyone! |
