So originally I was just going to use one song for me and the bridal party to walk into the ceremony with since I only have 3 bridesmaids. But now, with the song I chose I'm thinking I want it for myself because the very beginning of the song is the most dramatic I think. The song I am using is At Last by Etta James. I am having the ceremony at the reception hall so it doesn't have to be traditional of typical church ceremony music.
I would like some of your opinions on whether or not I should have a separate song for the bridesmaids and if so, suggestions on songs would be greatly appreciated.

I am having a separate song for myself. I am also getting married at my venue. I think the Bride should defiantly have her own song.

Re: 2nd Guessing Myself
I'm really starting to feel the same way. All the other songs (recessional, reception entrance) I'm ok with having the same song but this one I feel like I should have something a little more dramatic and that song is IT for me.
Any suggestions on bridal party songs?

I was going to use 'what a wonderful world' by Allison Mosshart for my briday party. I would still be using it but a few friends of mine offered to play strings for my wedding so i went with that.

I'm def doimg separate song for myself.
A lot of weddings ive been too have used the Hawaiian version of 'somewhere over the rainbow.' Not something i'd choose personally but I think it works well.
Some others I can thnk of:
So Amazing by Luther Vandros
When Doves Cry
When a Man Loves a Women
I might use How Do I Live by Leann Rimes, just because my FH secretly loves that song so I think it will be a nice surprise.

When a man loves a woman is a great song. Especially if I take the original version and that plays just before me with At Last by Etta James. I also had an instrumental song picked out as well. Now I'll have to listen to them better and see what I like best.
Thanks everyone for the help.

From This Moment by Shania Twain is another pretty instrumental. That one just occurred to me too :)
