Halo Strings on ITV This Morning: Bringing Bridgerton Elegance to “Best Wedding Dresses on the High Street”
On a sparkling edition of ITV This Morning, Halo Strings were invited to provide the ultimate soundtrack to the show’s “Best Wedding Dresses on the High Street” feature. In true Bridgerton style, five brides walked down the aisle live on air — and Halo Strings created the atmosphere with a stunning set of modern songs reimagined for string quartet.

A Modern-Day Regency Moment
As the brides showcased their gowns, the studio transformed into a wedding aisle. Halo Strings’ romantic arrangements filled the air, adding grandeur, sophistication and a dash of Netflix Regency drama. This wasn’t just TV — it felt like a live wedding unfolding before the cameras.
The Bridgerton-Inspired Set List
Halo Strings curated a perfect mix of iconic tracks, each reworked into their signature string sound:
Halo
Wildest Dreams
Material Girl
Thank U, Next
Snow On The Beach
Every song resonated with the Bridgerton aesthetic: timeless melodies wrapped in lush harmonies, with just enough contemporary sparkle to delight the daytime audience.
Why This Performance Stood Out
Real Brides, Real Aisle: Five brides walking live on television brought the feature to life.
Pop Meets Classical: Turning chart-topping hits into sweeping string arrangements created an unforgettable atmosphere.
TV Meets Event Inspiration: This Morning viewers were given a glimpse of how live strings elevate a wedding ceremony.

Top wedding songs to walk down the aisle.
Top wedding songs to walk down the aisle
A wedding ceremony is a celebration when your marriage becomes official.
On this very special day every aspect matters-the venue, wedding vows, the decor, the photography, the catering, reception and last but not least the music.
How can you not become overwhelmed with such a vast range and variety of songs?
We are here to help. First of all, we define several key sections of wedding music:
Pre-ceremony music
Processional
The signing of the register
Recessional
Post-wedding music
The First Dance
So now you need to decide what kind of style of performance you would like.
A classical wedding string quartet (the most popular choice) is elegant, traditional, classy and luxurious.
A string trio (almost the same as above, just three players instead of four)
A string duo that is super versatile, easy to relocate between sections of the wedding.
A solo instrument- also a great choice, it is a one-man show, so the player has to be an outstanding professional, be able to play requests at very short notice- we definitely can do that!
The next step- do you want to keep it classy, authentic and acoustic or you would love it to be upbeat, amplified with backing tracks and with eye-catching electric instruments? or maybe an LED string quartet?
Here comes the best part- we can do both and fulfil any of your requests!
Today we would like to focus on the Bridal entrance song to walk down the aisle to.
Halo Strings have made a list of the top 20 songs to cater for every taste, pace and style.
We start with the classical pieces first.
Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel
This is a very traditional, memorable and appropriate piece. Canon in D is indeed (excuse the tautology) one of the most well-known songs used during weddings.
It allows the bride to walk gracefully in her beautiful dress with no rush and for everyone to admire this unforgettable moment.
The Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn.
Another famous classic from the Suite of incidental music to Shakespeare’s play “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
The Bridal Chorus from the opera Lohengrin by Richard Wagner.
Generally known as “Here comes the Bride”. A perfect formal entrance song in a form of march.
Cello suite No1, Prelude - J.S. Bach
This is possibly the most instantly recognizable work for solo cello. Majestic,
mesmerising and chic. In fact, we also have a bespoke arrangement of this piece for several instruments!
Flower Duet from Lakme by Leo Delibes
This is romantic and graceful and one of the most beautiful duets. Two soprano voices are moving together picturing a scene of picking the flowers down the river. The simplicity and purity of this composition makes it another perfect song to walk down the aisle to.
The Four Seasons by Vivaldi.
This timeless classic is a good choice as you can pick any movement from any concerto and there are three movements in every Season!
Moving on to Jazz Classics and Traditional Pop
At Last by Etta James
A beautiful and melodic song in a form of a ballad.
Over the Rainbow by Harold Arlen
Magical melody sang by Judie Garland in the movie “ The Wizard of Oz” 1939
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
A truly breathtaking composition by one of the legendary musicians in the world!
La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf
A delicate composition by an outstanding french singer.
Can’t help falling in love by Elvis Presley
One of the most popular choices. This sweet and charming song perfectly reflects the love between two individuals getting married!
Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles
The light is coming across the world! A new beginning and a new chapter in the lives of a happy couple!
Finally, the modern selection of songs, which includes such hits as,
Perfect by Ed Sheeran
All of me by John Legend
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
Make you feel my love by Adele
Just the way you are by Bruno Mars
Come away with me by Norah Jones
Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran
Somewhere only we know by Keane
A bonus song: Halo by Beyonce - we think this is a wonderful piece for the Bride’s entrance
We hope this selection of suggested songs will make your choice easier and you will pick one perfect song for your special day!
Thank you,
Best wishes,
Yours,
Halo Strings
