Planning a wedding can be a stressful process, but picking out the music doesn't have to be a source of anxiety. There are so many classy and romantic songs to sift through that it's simply a matter of picking the ones that suit your particular taste. Assuming romance is the theme and elegance is the tone you want to set, classical and piano music are a great choice for your nuptials. Classical and piano music is soft, elegant, and romantic and will set the mood towards love in the hearts and spirits of your wedding guests.
These are my top picks for the best classical and piano music for a wedding. I chose these songs because there are selections for every facet of the ceremony. They are perfect to play during the prelude to your nuptials, while the bridal party takes the processional walk down the aisle, as the bride herself makes her way down the aisle to meet her love at the altar, softly in the background during the ceremony, during the recessional march, or at the reception.
These classical and piano wedding music pieces are soft and elegant and will make your wedding day a blissful day to remember.
Each of these songs can be found as a single MP3 download or on a compilation MP3 CD available on websites such as amazon.com. Some of the tunes are even available as free downloads! So you can save money by downloading singles and freebies and making your own bridal music mix.

I leave you with my favorite wedding blessing:
Now for you there is no rain, for one is shelter to the other.
Now for you the sun shall not burn, for one is shelter to the other.
Now for you nothing is hard or bad, for the hardness and badness is taken by one for the other.
Now for you there is no night, for one is light to the other.
Now for you the snow has ended always, for one is protection for the other.
It is that way, from now on, from now on. And now there is comfort.
Now there is no loneliness. Now forever, forever, there is no loneliness.
