Traditions are changing and modern brides are throwing caution to the wind. One of the trends that is becoming increasingly popular is to have a "First Look" with your husband-to-be before the ceremony. It has been a long time tradition for the groom to see his bride for the first time while she is walking down the aisle, it adds that element of surprise and genuine emotion during the ceremony that will have your guests in tears. However, more and more couples are opting to see each other before hand and have that special moment in private.
I am a pretty private person and also a very emotional one, so I love the idea of a 'first look'. I want my groom to be the first person to see me on our wedding day and spend a quiet moment together before we embark on the most important day of our lives. I am not good with surprises, and seeing as our ceremony is at 4:00PM, I want to spend as much of the day with him as possible!
Here's a few beautiful first look photos to get your heart pumping and those eyes watering.

A few of my friends have done this at their weddings, and they have all said how much they appreciated having a few private moments to spend together before the craziness of the ceremony and the rest of the day.

This is definitely the way to go -- but maybe I'm biased because it's what we did! In my opinion it made everything much more relaxed and fun. Yay! I'm loving following your wedding planning, looks like you're having a blast!
ReplyDeleteI love the "First Look" trend that is happening now. I think it's a wonderful intimate moment that can be shared. I'm so excited to hear about your first look moment :)
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with pictures..so of course I am doing the first look...but I recently went to a few wedding where they did not do first looks..and man the grooms face was priceless...hmmm.
ReplyDeletei think this is so sweet and so genuine. just wonderful.

One of my best friends who recently got married, had a cute first look documentation with her wedding photographer. Her (now husband) was blind folded, and she came out and unblind folded him-the pictures are soo cute and soo emotional!

Yes! I did this just 2 months ago and here's why I love it
ReplyDelete1) Photos are unreal - our favourite couple photos are ALL from the first look
2) It did NOT take away from the special-ness of walking down the aisle
3) Much better guest experience - you can actually enjoy cocktail hour WITH your guests instead of having to duck out for 3 hours and take photos (our bridal party really appreciated this as well)
