Bridal March from Lohengrin - Richard Wagner (1:47)
In Wagner's opera Lohengrin, this actually is called the Bridal Chorus, which might be a better way to describe a trip down the aisle. This is the piece you hummed in grade school (Here Comes the Bride) when you played getting married. Many people confuse this piece with Mendelssohn's Wedding March, a totally different composition with a similar name. This arrangement uses flute, violin and cello.

Trumpet Tune - Henry Purcell (3:04)
This is often confused with Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary, but once again, two different pieces. It is best performed with trumpet and accompaniment, but can work with just a classical trio.

Trumpet Voluntary - Jeremiah Clarke (1:13)
Another piece that has become synonymous with weddings, especially for the bridal procession. It was originally attributed to Purcell. This piece is best with trumpet, but is so recognizable that it can be played without.

Gloria - Antonio Vivaldi (2:43)
This is a “big” arrangement, meaning lots of strings, flute, oboe, piccolo trumpet and a brass choir. The demo starts just before the brass choir begins, which is a perfect place for the bride to enter. In the full download, there are about thirty-five seconds before the bride would start, which might be nice for the flower-girls. Or...this could be excellent as a recessional.

Royal Procession (2:08)
Long before Prince William and Kate, I was working on this processional. There is an energizing build-up (seventy seconds) before the entrance of the bride when the trumpet starts. With a little planning and rehearsal, the first part of this piece could include the bridal party, depending on size. The demo heard here begins with the trumpet.
