The world of movies has provided many a bride with classical pieces that perform the double task of filling the air with love and making sure that the spotlight stays on the only woman in the room who matters. "Tara's Theme" from Gone With the Wind was composed by Max Steiner, who was the godson of Richard Strauss and was given piano lessons by Johannes Brahms. Take the melodic path less travelled, with our Classical Wedding Deep Cuts.

The thought of a mystical bird swimming around the Island of the Dead may seem a bit heavy for a wedding, but once you've heard "The Swan of Tuonela" by Jean Sibelius you'll realise how perfectly it captures the elegance of a wedding ceremony. Similarly, you'd never guess Joaquin Rodrigo composed the "Concierto de Aranjuez" between the bombing of Guernica and the outbreak of the Second World War. Yet, in the context of a wedding, it's pure magic.
