The song you walk back up the aisle to might not be your first thought when planning a wedding, but once you’ve chosen a first dance and which song you’ll walk down the aisle to, your recessional wedding song tends to be where your mind wanders to next and certainly shouldn’t be overlooked.
You’ve just tied the knot and this needs to be celebrated immediately! As you and your new spouse take your first steps together as a married couple, the music you hear should be happy, a little upbeat but most importantly, reflect you as a couple. Your friends and family will be cheering, clapping and smiling, and your recessional song should emulate their joy as you’re walking out together.
The tracks on this list have a more celebratory feel to them than the tracks we chose for our list of songs to walk down the aisle to. We’ve included modern tracks, timeless classics, fun songs and beautiful classical pieces. Whatever type of music you’re into, there will be something to tickle your fancy and help you exit your wedding ceremony in style!
