Flute wedding music is a lovely addition to any wedding. The flute can play a solo in a traditional setting, be part of an instrumental ensemble, or pair with a vocalist.
A flutist can even provide the music for entire ceremony.
A garden, beach, backyard, or any outdoor setting is perfect for the flutist performing wedding music.
Prelude wedding music
Special music for mothers and honored guests to be seated
Processional for the bride
Solo during the ceremony, candle-lighting etc.
Recessional
A flutist can even provide music during the cocktail hour or during dinner.
You, the flutist, can pick up extra income playing for weddings, or you can offer your services as a gift for friends or family members.
What music to play?
Collections of wedding music arranged specifically for the flute are a great resource. ⇒
The slow movements from Baroque and Classical sonatas are good, too. ⇐
Got a partner?
Flute duets, as well as trios and quarters, are another great option. You can mix up the combinations, too. Maybe duet music for the prelude, a quartet for the processional, a solo during the ceremony, and the quartet again for the recessional.
My favorite duet book is full of terrific little Classical pieces that are fabulous wedding music. ⇒
The Trumpet March on page 19 is a great processional.
You can play these pieces with more than two flutes, too, by doubling the parts.
Four flutes, Mozart, and a wedding - what could be more heavenly? ⇐
Go guitar . . .
If you have a guitarist friend, the two of you should team up! Flute and guitar make a great duo and are perfect for outdoor or intimate indoor weddings. Try these collections for the flute/guitar duo...
