Processional, Recessional , Interlude, Postlude - What Does It All Mean?

Do you ever get confused with the terminoloy of  wedding ceremony music ? Do you know when to use processional or recessional music? Or the interlude and the postlude? If not, I have just what you need; a list of definitions to help create the right sounds for each part of your service:

• PRELUDE:  are the songs played when guests arrive. Choose instrumental type songs with a soft sound.
• PROCESSIONAL: the "grand entrance" piece that accompanies the bridal party's walk down the aisle. The bride usually enters on different music
• INTERLUDE: Solo or instrumental music used during nonverbal rituals (e.g., the lighting of candles, communion), or to bridge segments of the ceremony.
• RECESSIONAL: Played as the couple and the bridaly party exit down the aisle; usually upbeat.
• POSTLUDE: Played as guest leave the service; usually joyful music

I hope this helps with your selections.
