Walk Your Way to the Altar in These Unconventional Ways

At almost every wedding, the groom anxiously awaits for his bride at the front of the altar, with his best friends and men standing by his side. Across from him stand the friends and ladies of his wife-to-be, who is getting ready to walk down the aisle. In a typical wedding, the bride is walked down the aisle to a romantic song, with linked arms with her father. The groom may shed a tear, and you can almost guarantee the bride is tearing up.

But what if you do not want a normal, traditional wedding? What if you want to surprise your guests with an extravagant entrance? The cool thing is, it is your wedding! You can enter and exit just how you like, you do not have to be normal. In fact, dare to be different! When considering different ways to walk down the aisle to meet your one and only, keep some of these suggestions in mind that might just meet the criteria you are looking for!

1. Sing Your Way to Your Soulmate

If you are a bride who loves singing, and especially loves singing with her signficiant other, then why not sing your way down the aisle? Whether you do it as a surprise for your husband and completely take him and the crowd aback, or have it completely rehearsed to a T and still make your crowd cry, singing a favorite love song of yours could be just the entrance you seek!

If you want to go above and beyond, why not sing a duet with your other half that is waiting at the altar? While this may seem a bit cheesy, it can truly move your guests and bring tears to your mother’s eyes for sure. If singing is a passion for you and your spouse, then why not express your love through what you both do best?

2. The Guest Bouquet

Want to get your guests involved in your walk down the aisle? As guests enter into the ceremony, have someone stand and hand each guest a flower. Or ahead of time, give flowers to some of your most dear relatives or closest friends who could not be in the bridal party. Then as you make your way down the aisle, collect the flowers from each and every one of the guests, or the guests that are designated the flowers.

If you collect these flowers from your guests to create your own bouquet, it allows for you to connect with those whom care about you the most one more time as a single person before you marry. If you decide to go with this option, you are sure to give your guests all the feels. So if crying is what you want, then crying you will get!
