Here comes the bride! One of the most memorable parts of your big day will be the moment the bride enters the room - it's the first time the groom and the wedding guests will see the bride, so it's essential to give that moment the impact it deserves!
To make a grand entrance, you're going to need to pick a suitably grand entrance song to walk down the aisle to. Your choice of processional song will help set the tone for the rest of your wedding ceremony, right up to the first dance song.
