The choice of music is crucial in the wedding planning process, especially the wedding march. Many people may not know that there are actually two wedding marches, and their uses are different. This article will introduce these two marches and their roles in weddings to help couples make wise music choices.
The Importance of Wedding Bands
Wedding bands play an important role in weddings. They not only provide live music performances, but also add atmosphere to the entire ceremony. In Hong Kong, many couples choose professional wedding bands to ensure the quality of the music and emotional investment. Whether it is a classical band or a pop music band, they can perform unique wedding music according to the needs of the couple.
Two wedding marches
Wagner's Wedding March
This march was composed by German composer Richard Wagner and is usually played when the bride enters the venue. Its solemn melody is suitable for the bride's elegant entrance, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere. This song is often seen in traditional church weddings and is the first choice for many newlyweds.
Mendelssohn's Wedding March
Unlike Wagner's song, Mendelssohn's Wedding March has a more cheerful and passionate atmosphere and is suitable for playing when the newlyweds walk out of the hall hand in hand. This song is popular for its cheerful melody, and many newlyweds choose to use it in non-church weddings to celebrate their union.
Tradition and Selection
If the couple wants to choose a march as their wedding music, according to Western tradition, church weddings usually choose Mendelssohn's Wedding March, while non-church weddings prefer Wagner's version. This tradition reflects the cultural background of different wedding forms and also affects the choice of music.
Considerations for choosing a wedding band
When choosing a wedding band, couples should consider the following points:
Music style: Make sure the band can play the selected march and other favorite music.
Experience: Choose a band with rich wedding experience to ensure the quality of the performance.
Interactivity: The band's interactivity and performance style will also affect the atmosphere of the wedding.
Conclusion
In Hong Kong weddings, music is an indispensable element, and the choice of wedding march is even more crucial. Understanding the two wedding marches of Wagner and Mendelssohn and their applicable situations can help couples make the right music decisions when planning their wedding and make this day an unforgettable memory. Choose a suitable wedding band and let the music accompany you into a beautiful new life!
