First look, first touch, or neither?

Laura, on May 11, 2018 at 8:05 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 42

On your wedding day will you be doing a first look, a first touch, or skipping both and going for the big reveal when it's time to walk down the aisle?

    None of the above, we’ll be together pretty much all day besides HMU. So maybe that counts as guest look? Not sure lol. We’re doing the courthouse.

    My fiance wants to be traditional and not see me until I'm walking down the aisle so that's what we're doing. It was like his one request so I'm happy to honor it.

    We are doing a first look for many reasons. Partly to calm our nerves, have some sweet pictures of the first look moment, to have a few minutes alone before the ceremony, and so that we can take the bulk of our photos before the ceremony starts.

    We originally wanted to do just a first touch, but with our photography and reception timeline a First Look not only made sense, but became just about necessary, so that's what we're doing.

    Neither. My fh never heard of first look, I try to describe it but we would have to change the time with the photographer if we were to do that so just going to walk down the aisle

    First look! And it was actually my very traditional FH who decided that would be a great way for us to have a little alone time Smiley smile

    I never even knew first look was a thing. So many things I was ignorant of before reading wedding sites. My FH wants to be surprised as I walk down the aisle so whatever.

    We did a first look. It was a mess. Lol! We were by the waters edge and the caterers was bringing in stuff for the reception. They dropped like a dolly of stuff and hubby turned around and saw me walking up. Oh well! It was funny and eased stress!

    I like the first touch but only because I want us to pray before the wedding.
