Alright, let’s gab about them bridesmaids processional songs, you know, the tunes them gals walk down the aisle to. It ain’t just any old music, mind you. It gotta set the mood, make folks feel somethin’, you know?
First off, you gotta think about who’s walkin’. Them little tykes, the ring bearer and flower girl, they need somethin’ sweet and simple. Like that “Over the Rainbow” song. Everybody knows that one, and it makes you smile, real gentle like. It’s a good starter, gets the ball rollin’, you see?
- For the young’uns: “Over the Rainbow”
Now, for the bridesmaids themselves, that’s where it gets fun. You can go two ways, I reckon. You can go all fancy and classical, like that “Canon in D” fella, somethin’ Pachelbel. Real pretty, real elegant. Been around forever, that one. Or, if you’re feelin’ sassy, you can go with somethin’ upbeat, somethin’ that makes you wanna tap your feet. Like that Beyoncé song, “Crazy in Love.” Gets everyone energized, ready for the main event – the bride, of course!
Important thing is, the music gotta fit. Fit the weddin’, fit the girls, fit the whole vibe. You don’t wanna play some sad, slow song if the bride’s all bubbly and happy, right? Makes no sense.
And listen, it ain’t gotta be just one song neither. You can have one for the bridesmaids, and then somethin’ different, somethin’ grander, for the bride. Builds up the excitement, you know? Like, “Here they come, get ready! And now, HERE SHE COMES!” Makes it special.

- Fun choice: “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé
Some folks, they use that old “Bridal Chorus” by that Wagner fella. Been around since, shoot, 1850 or somethin’. Classic, sure, but maybe a bit overdone. You gotta decide what feels right for you, for your weddin’. Don’t just do what everyone else does, you hear? Gotta have some personality! That “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” song, that’s a hoot too! But again, gotta match it to the people.
And speakin’ of the bridesmaids, their job ain’t rocket science. They gotta show up on time, dressed proper, hold flowers if the bride wants ’em to, and walk down that aisle. That’s it! But the music, the music helps them do it right, makes it all flow smooth. Gives ’em somethin’ to walk to, a rhythm, a feel. It ain’t just background noise, it’s part of the whole shebang.
So, when you’re pickin’ them songs, think about the whole picture. Think about the feelin’ you want, the mood you want to set. And don’t be afraid to mix it up, try somethin’ different. It’s your day, your weddin’, your music. Make it somethin’ you and everyone else will remember. Somethin’ special.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that it feels right. And don’t forget, a little bit of fun never hurt nobody. So pick them bridesmaids processional songs that make you and your gals happy, and let the good times roll! That’s all there is to it. It ain’t complicated. Just gotta use your common sense and pick somethin’ that sounds good, and feels good, for everyone involved.
