Selecting music for your wedding day is one of the most fun and meaningful parts to your day! And selecting your song to walk down the aisle to? SUCH A FUN ONE! Have you dreamed about walking down the aisle to a certain song or artist? Or maybe you haven’t but it’s time to start imagining what song will play when you walk down the aisle! While Pachelbel’s Canon in D is a super pretty song, lots of couples want to make their day a bit more personal and we are ALL ABOUT THAT! I mean, there is no rule you need to walk down the aisle to a classical song, so why not have some fun with it!

You definitely want to choose a song that best suits your love story. Have you two been picturing a string quartet to serenade you down the aisle? Would a soft, acoustic tune capture your love the best? Are you looking for something more fun and upbeat? So many options!

What is a good song to walk down the aisle to?

We know it can be tough to browse through so many wedding entrance song selections, so we did the work for you. We have been sharing real weddings for over 13 years now and we always ask our bride what song she walked down the aisle so we had lots of songs to collect – as well as I polled you guys on Stories to share what song you (or your love) walked down the aisle to and below are 93 creative options! We have everything from super romantic to dreamy songs to acoustic versions of some of your faves – to some fun + unique ideas you shared!

Another important tip? This song will be a reminder of your wedding day forever, so keep that in mind! I love whenever we randomly hear our song – it’s so special and fun reminder to our wedding day :)
