30 Bridal Entrance Ideas in Western Style for Mangalore Wedding

1. Throw Open the Doors

Picture this: Your DJ introduces you, the couple of honor—new last name and all—and suddenly two doors fly open, revealing a sea of cheering guests (your favorite people in the world!) before you. If this sounds like the dream, make like this couple, who didn’t let their outdoor venue stop them from having an high-impact wedding entrance. They added a vintage door to an existing archway—which also doubled as a décor moment that all attendees experienced firsthand as they made their way into the reception space.

2. Go Big on Entertainment

If you’re planning on hiring performers or a unique entertainment act for your party, consider working with them to coordinate a one-of-a-kind wedding reception entrance. At their Paris wedding, this duo enlisted the help of cabaret showgirls, who unfurled their feathered fans as they processed into the space to U2’s “Beautiful Day.”

3. Highlight Your Parents’ Entrance

Your parents got you to this point in life—which is why we think making them a key part of your party debut is the ultimate wedding entrance idea. Take notes from this couple, who honored their parents and their culture by planning a major moment for their matriarchs and patriarchs. “In Nigerian culture, parents have their own big entrance with their friends,” the bride explains. “They really put on a performance! Our guests all loved it and it was a great way to start the reception with levity.”

4. Prepare a Wedding Party Performance

Are you musical theater enthusiasts? Were you part of an a cappella troupe in college? If so—and if you have few other music aficionados in your midst—turn your wedding entrance into a song-and-dance number that your bridesmaids and groomsmen can join in on. This musical-loving duo prepped “I Can Hear the Bells” from Hairspray for their party—with a fun twist. The lyrics were rewritten to tell their love story.

5. Plan a Balcony Moment

Have your very own Romeo and Juliet moment by making your wedding reception entrance from above—which is exactly what this couple did at their ballroom party in Jamaica. Taking in your perfectly designed reception space and all of your favorite people gathered inside? It doesn’t get much better than that.

6. Kick Off the Dance Party

Ready to get your groove on? Enter your reception space to a favorite song and coordinate a dance right off the bat. This is sure to draw attention and set the mood for the party (not to mention get everyone out on the dance floor).

7. Create a Candlelit Path

Looking for something romantic? Candles will do the trick. Create a path of candles that leads into the reception space. Your guests will love walking through on their way in, and they will serve as the perfect aisle for you and your partner, too!

8. Have Fun With a Mariachi Band

If you’re planning a destination wedding in a place that speaks to your culture, why not embrace local music? Have a mariachi band escort you to your reception space to get the party started, for example.

9. Use an Existing Door

Looking for a simple wedding entrance idea? Use an existing feature at your venue. You can dress it up with greenery and blooms and create a beautiful entrance by walking through to your reception space, hand-in-hand.

Love the theater? Why not have some fun! Because this couple utilized a theater as their reception venue space, they made a statement by descending and appearing through a trap door. How magical!

Choose a meaningful song that speaks to your relationship to announce your nuptials. This will help set the tone for the entire reception—and is a great way to connect your wedding entrance idea to your love story.

Allow your wedding party to make a grand entrance ahead of you to set the tone. We love the idea of a big group announcing the arrival of the newlyweds.

18. Celebrate With Sparklers

19. Deck Out a Bus

All aboard the bus! Transport your guests to your reception space with a personalized bus. Ride in style with everybody else, or follow behind in your own custom transportation.

Before making your way into the crowd, give a speech. This is such a great time to welcome guests to your reception and to share your gratitude for everybody being there to celebrate.

25. Walk Through Curtains

Consider creating your own entrance to your reception venue. We love the idea of draping curtains, complete with greenery and beautiful lighting. Walking through this entryway holding hands will create such a magical moment.

Getaway cars can have multiple uses! Arrive at your reception space in a stunning, vintage car. You’ll not only make a statement, but it will make for the most beautiful photo ops.
