who is doing the music for your ceremony? they will have suggestions. otherwise, canon in D and jesu joy of man's desiring are popular (at least for catholic ceremonies) and very beautiful.

You're limited only by your imagination. Think about the setting of your wedding and the tone you want to convey, and then start listening to selections so you can make a good choice.
If you want proper, then google "wedding processional music" and sample anything Baroque or Classical (Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Mozart, etc.).
If you want more contemporary instrumental music with a sacred feel, try minimalist music by composers like Philip Glass and Estonian composer Arvo Part.
When it comes to instrumental music, you can also think outside the box: for instance, listen to the magic of Bjork's "Frosti" from her album "Vespertine." (It's a little less than two minutes -- so if you have a long processional with lots of attendants, then it's too short.)
And if you want to convey a lighthearted sense of humor, then go for a fun classic pop song with lyrics. A perfect example: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong doing the perfect wedding duet: "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off."
Have fun while you're listening -- don't pick on the basis of what you might think is "right" or "proper," but on what moves you.... since that same song will be "moving" you down the aisle.

If your Dad is walking you down the aisle, Butterfly Kisses would be a beautiful song.

I would definitely suggest speaking with your musicians, because if you choose something they can not play then it is useless.
If you are getting married in a church something classical or a hymmn would be preferred. If it is a non religious wedding, then you can choose anything as long as your musicians are comfortable with it.
I walked down the aisle to a New Age instrumental piano piece, I was lucky that my musican was a Berkely College of music graduate that majored in piano and voice! She could play anything!
If you are undecided your musicians should be able to give you a list and play them so you can decide.
Good luck!

I walked to You for Me by Johnny Gill (It is in Madea's Family Reunion) Very beautiful song. Only I had my cousin sing it rather than just a cd player going. I got alot of compliments on what a beautiful song it was.

Anything but Cannon in D
Religious: Ave Maria or I can only Imagine
Non-religious: Possiblities there are endless. Bach has some lovely overtures.
Check with your church to see if you can have secular music playing. Some require you use some sort of hymn.
