1. Bridal Chorus, Wagner. Often known as Here Comes The Bride, this piece of classical music is the traditional choice for the procession of the bride, and is often played on an organ.

Most likely, it's strains of Mendelssohn's "The Wedding March," or Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major." Classical wedding music provides an elegance unlike any other, so it's no wonder so many couples are opting to include these instrumental processional melodies as a part of their big day.

The Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon, is a celebration of the love of a young couple as they move from engagement to marriage. In some ways the Song of Songs is modern in its ideal of marriage as a match based on the romantic love between the couple.

Mendelssohn's “Wedding March” and Beethoven's “Ode to Joy” are traditional wedding recessional songs, but you don't have to follow tradition on this one. We've gathered a list of both classic and surprising recessional wedding songs to spark your imagination with a few behind-the-scenes factoids.
