Prelude Music

Using just one selection for the seating of the grandmothers/mothers and the entrance of the bridesmaids is a good idea; it contributes to the continuity of your ceremony. These selections are very appropriate for this part of the ceremony. A popular idea is to insert a trumpet fanfare just before the bride enters and continue with very regal processional music.

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by J.S. Bach
