First look??

Kristin, on March 14, 2020 at 3:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
My fiancé and I are planning the few days before our wedding and interested to know what everyone's thoughts on not seeing each other a few days before? Will it make the first look more special, or not needed?

    Is there a reason why you want to do that a few days before? Would you be all dolled up in your wedding dress too?

    There’s so much that needs to be done the few days before the wedding, I can’t imagine spending it away from my FS. We stayed at home together the night before the wedding and I still don’t think it made our first look any less special.

    I couldn’t imagine doing that. There’s so much that needs to be done, so many family and friends in town that we wanted to spend time with... the few days leading up to our wedding honestly was part of the whole wedding experience for us. We had multiple meals and outings with our out of town family (and together with each other of course) I actually feel like not being together for the majority of that time period would’ve ruined it. We only separated (1) when I went to get my nails done and when I went to get my hair done before the rehearsal dinner and (2) the night before the wedding and morning of, of course .

    There’s no way that would work for us. There are going to be all sorts of dinners and family time to visit with out of town guests and I really don’t want to spend a few days apart unless it’s actually necessary.

    I'm only like 90% sure we won't wake up together that morning. I think as long as you have a little bit of time apart and you're both excited, the moment will still be special and full of adrenaline.

    We decided to go traditional, and DH stayed the night at his parents' place before the wedding. We didn't do a first look.

    By the time we got to ceremony time, I nearly ran down the aisle, I missed him so much - and it hadn't even been 24 hours.

    That said, I'm glad we did that. We both got a little bit of alone time with our immediate families, it made the ceremony super special, too.

    We are going to sleep in seperate places the night before and not see each other until the ceremony. I'm fine with seeing each other pre-ceremony/the night before but fh wants to keep tradition!
