First Look or Wait Until You Walk Down The Aisle?!

I’m leaving up to my FH. My 1st wedding was traditional, so it was down the aisle. Now that I’m older, I’ve come to love the pictures from first looks.

I personally like the thought of waiting to see each other at the alter… I’ve heard of doing personal vows privately afterwards which I thought was nice! Everyone has their preference though. Do what makes you most happy 🥰

We did a first look. On the rooftop of our event building. Family and friends present for the big reveal. It was amazing. Honestly it made me way less nervous and the rest was easy. We were both pleased with how we look and we are happy we went with that option! Also it made a big difference after the ceremony for the cocktail hour we could begin mingling with our guests!

I'll remember to do that.

No first look I want the first time he sees me in the dress to be down the aisle it hold so much more love and emotion

View quoted message Yes I feel like it give more feeling to the moment but also the guests really get to see the love between you

We’ve decided to do first look photos! I wanted an intimate ceremony however with both my fiancé and I having big families, this was not going to be possible. First look photos will give us that opportunity for intimate time together before the ceremony and we’ll get to enjoy cocktail hour with our guests since photos will be out of the way first! We’ll make it as special as we can for the photos and we should still get a special reaction. I think this also takes a lot of pressure off the walk down the aisle (for both groom and bride!). The intimate time together for the first look photos gets me excited as well have such a busy rest of the day and we want to spend as much time together on our special day as we can! 🩷

I’m waiting to walk down the aisle.

Its a long story but we have already kinda done a first look because we showed family the dress as we think my grandmother will not be alive for my wedding

I’m waiting until I walk down the aisle. My favourite part of weddings is watching the grooms reaction to his bride and I can’t wait to see my finances

I’m waiting until I walk down the aisle! I am doing a first look with my mom/dad and bridesmaids!

My fiancée and I plan on doing a first touch. We want the first time seeing each other to be when she walks down the isle but the idea of a first touch to talk before the wedding but without seeing each other has always seemed perfect for us!

View quoted message That’s so cute!! I love that!

We’re waiting until the aisle! It’s just not us and we’re both time anxious, so we’d be to worried about ending up late for the ceremony

We're doing a first look. Our wedding is at a catholic church where we don't do personal vows so it will give us the opportunity to do them privately. Plus, we'll get all our photos out of the way and enjoy cocktail hour with all our guests!

Doing a first look, we've chosen to spend as much time together that day as possible. This is my second marriage and one of the things that bothered me was the lack of time I had gotten with my partner that day

I’m waiting until I walk down the aisle, I’m only doing a first look with my father.
