I particularly like the idea of the "Flower Duet" for my own wedding (in a botanical garden in late May). The other pieces are all lovely and perfect for before during and after the ceremony. You guys are the best! Thanks so much! Amanda These are wonderful! I particularly like the idea of the “Flower Duet” for my own wedding (in a botanical garden in late May).

It's a very familiar piece to most people, and sounds very traditional, but I've never known anyone else to use it in a wedding. It's also practical--organ transcriptions are readily available, and it is well within the ability of most organists to play, so no special musicians are required.

It was beautiful. It's not traditional but it is recognizable so I wanted to suggest it. Good luck! We had our string trio play Forrest Gump Suite (Feather Theme) by Alan Silvestri. It was beautiful.

I think it is beautiful and always gets me a little emotional. It would probably need to be shortened some, but I think it could be perfect for the walking down the isle part. I also like the idea of having another one of their songs playing while the guests are arriving and waiting for the ceremony to start. "Butterfly's Day Out" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a20VuIecgM My suggestion would be “Appalachia Waltz” played by Yo Yo Ma, Edger Meyer and Mark O’Conner (cello, violin and bass)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD6RR5B-YCo

I stole this idea from a great post: http://inkfancy.blogspot.com/2009/02/wedding-ceremony-music-for-cool-kids.html I really like this song for someone that wants traditional, but not Here Comes the Bride.
