Figuring Out
Planning a wedding can be quite a hassle since there is a lot of stuff you need to do and everything must be perfect. One of the things that most people overlook is the ceremony music. There is a couple of factors that you will need to take into consideration when choosing the wedding ceremony music. The following are some of the tips you can follow to select the perfect songs for your wedding ceremony.
Before you start looking at the types of songs, make sure you know the number of songs that you will need. The prelude should be the first music to be played as the guests mingle before the ceremony starts. You can pick several songs that are calming or classical or romantic since this might last for about twenty minutes. Next songs to pick are the professional ones which are usually two; one for you and one for your party. The song for the wedding party should be something neutral that everyone can walk down the aisle to and afterward, a new song will play as you walk down the aisle. Next you should pick the interlude music that will be playing during the ceremony during certain parts. You will also need a recession song that will be played after you become husband and wife and you are now walking together down the aisle. The recession song should be upbeat and fun for you and your husband to dance to as you leave for your reception and also it should be able to set the mood for the party. For your postlude song, pick something fun and happy for your guests to enjoy before the cocktail hour.
The second thing you should take into consideration when selecting songs is the venue of the wedding ceremony. If your wedding is going to take place in a church or temple or any other religious place, you should first inquire about any restrictions as to the kind of songs you can play there. Holding your wedding ceremony outside gives you the freedom to select the kind of music that you love.
Another tip to take into account is the message of the songs you are selecting. You need to listen to the lyrics of the songs before you select them so that you can know if they are the right match for your ceremony. If you cant find music that sends the right message, it is a good idea to go instrumental.
New songs are being played on the radio on a daily basis, you should avoid the urge to change your selected songs last minute just because the new song is a hit.
