Traditional music for walking down the aisle
Majestic and beautiful, 'Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring' by Bach is a popular piece to accompany the bride walking down the aisle. Another traditional favourite is 'Here comes the bride': Wagner's 'Bridal Chorus' from Lohengrin. And you can't go wrong with Handel's 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' from Solomon.
