Interesting Music Combinations seen for wedding attendants and bride:
 

Prelude in C major from the Eight Little Preludes and Fugues (Bach) - Psalm XIX (Benedito Marcello)

Air from the Water Music Suite (Handel) - Hornpipe from the Water Music Suite (Handel)

Air from the Water Music Suite (Handel) - Rejoicing from the Royal Fireworks (Handel)

Trompet in Dialogue (Clerambault) - Chaconne (L.Couperin) - Rondo (Mouret)
 
 

It is interesting to note the percentage of the items that are orchestral in origin available as piano, organ, or keyboard reductions. The "Trumpet Voluntary" excluded however - one often hears trumpet voluntaries on wedding music CD's played on the orchestral trumpet, yet historically the "trumpet voluntary" was a voluntary typically for the 18th century British organ featuring the trumpet stop.
