Whenever I’m invited to attend weddings, I’m always amazed with every details on the church and reception venues. Be it from the flower arrangements, to the table settings, the presidential table, the wedding cake, the wedding souvenirs, light settings, the entourage dresses and etc. Making the atmosphere even more romantic and overwhelming whenever I hear sweet great Wedding Songs!

These Wedding Songs could either be pre-recorded songs, performed live by a choir or by a band and some are played on the piano with a soloist. Some wedding songs are even so grand being accompanied by violins and orchestra. On some part of weddings, it’s either the bride or the groom is singing. Yup! There was a wedding where the bride was singing while walking down the aisle and also a wedding where the groom was singing while watching the bride walk towards her. Whichever, no doubt that wedding songs list is something that’s also very important for the occasion. It’s a great day that a loving couple is finally bound in love and their most favorite love songs or theme songs could add up to the event’s perfection!

Wedding Entrance Songs or Wedding March Songs of the Entourage and Bride Entrance song.
As we all know, the very popular song for the Bride Entrance song is the “Here Comes the Bride” or “Bridal Chorus.” I would usually call “tan tan ta nan” as how we hum it. But nowadays, there has been hundreds of love songs to suit this part. Even more romantic and dramatic to make it a more touching moment for everyone! The classic tradition of Bridal entrance is with the father but today, it’s both the mother and the father of the bride. In the absence of the father, it could either be with the closest uncle, or brother or grandfather. Today, we could see that the wedding entrance is modified. Sometimes, parents march right after the entourage and the bride walks down the aisle alone. Here are some love entrance songs that fits the bridal’s entrance. You can play other songs found on other list for the entourage march but for the bride, these songs below are awesome!

Joint Wedding Dance Songs Father Daughter Wedding Songs or Father Daughter Wedding Dance Songs 
Why is it a part of the wedding ceremony? It’s because getting married to your husband is also changing your family name from your father’s surname to your husband’s surname. Yup, it’s shows that since you were born, you have live all your life being in the care of the father before marriage. He has provided every need of the daughter but the wedding day is the day, in which the bride will be spending the rest of her life with her husband and is now under his care. This part is actually one of the most emotional moment of the wedding day. I know most of the daughters are more attached to their fathers than mothers.
Mother Son Wedding Songs
Obviously, this is the counter of the Father and Daughter Wedding Songs. I know that sons are also very attached to mothers. That’s how I see it in from my brothers too. Mothers are also emotional when their sons get married because before they have been caring for their boy, and now there will be someone to replace their part in their son’s life. Someone who would cook for the son, prepare everything, tell stories with and most especially someone that would show so much love for their son.
These are songs that suits as Father Daughter Wedding Songs or Father Daughter Wedding Dance Songs and Mother Son Wedding Songs.
