Walk Down The Aisle Humming :: Wedding Songs

Robin Pecknold - The Book of Love (Magnetic Fields cover)

Thanks for finding this, Scout!

Maria Taylor - Speak Easy

I know. It’s been awhile. But you all expected that, right? You don’t just come across tons of good wedding music every day.

This song would be nice, I think.

Death Cab For Cutie - Passenger Seat

When you feel embarrassed, I’ll be your pride. When you need direction, I’ll be your guide, for all time.

Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life

Bright Eyes? At a wedding? Yep.

Chris Thile - Bridal Veil Falls

I like this a lot. Also good: “Song For A Young Queen.”

Ryan Adams - Desire

This could be used in a photo montage, or played during the meal at the reception, or after the bride and groom leave the ceremony.

Ben Folds - The Luckiest

Sure, this song is featured fairly regularly in weddings, but there’s a reason for that. It’s just that good.

Hellogoodbye - Oh, It Is Love

I don’t even like Hellogoodbye, but this song is cute. Don’t act like you don’t like it.

Iron & Wine - Love And Some Verses

It’s a tough call for me between “Naked As We Came” and this song, but I think this song wins out. For today, at least.

Rosie Thomas and Ed Harcourt - Let It Be Me

This is the song I want during my first dance. The rhythm and tone are perfect, and Rosie Thomas’ voice blends wonderfully with Ed Harcourt’s.
