Ideas for alternative processional music?

Question

I really really don't like any of the usual suggestions for processional music so need some suggestions for something different. Im getting married in a registry office so nothing over the top! I like the idea of an instrumental version of a song but am having a mindblank of anything suitable!

Answer 1

Dome Epais ("The Flower Duet") from Lakmé by Delibes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_zm6pQZ1...  

I have heard some lovely arrangements of this for two flutes if you prefer instrumental to vocal.

Cavalleria Rusticana (Intermezzo) by Mascagni  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OvsVSWB4...

'Por Una Cabeza' by Carlos Gardel if you want something a little different

Answer 2

I had the instrumental version of Bittersweet Symphony. Lovely piece of music and all importantly in a civil wedding, not religious.

Answer 3

I am planning my wedding too and have been searching for a wedding dance song when I came across this one, Kyla - Beautiful Days, sorry it's not instrumental, but is still a lovely song which would be perfect to walk down the aisle to.

I will put the youtube link here for you, so you can listen to it.

Hope this is some help, good luck and congrats!

Answer 4

I used "moon river" (instrumental) to walk down the aisle, and just found some other classical music that I liked for the bridesmaids etc. like my flowers girls walked down to one of the upbeat cheerful songs from the nutcracker, don't remember which one though....

Answer 5

"Look Up" by Zero 7

Answer 6

"Something" by the Beatles- it doesn't get more beautiful than that, in an instrumental format.
