Seeing each other the day of the wedding

I feel like this is really personal preference. Are you meaning doing a first look beforehand? If you you don't want to do that you could always do just a first touch I believe it's called. I don't think doing one over the other though is more recommend.

I know first looks seem to be a big thing these days but we aren't doing it. My FH wants to wait and see me as I walk down the aisle.

This really is a personal preference. We ultimately decided to do it so we could spend more time celebrating with our guests and I’m glad we did it.

We saw each other before the ceremony and had a sweetheart table. I'm glad we did both because that's the most time we spent with each other until after the wedding.

We’re waking up together and having sex— at least in my opinion we are lol. But we are def waking up together. If i see him at the ceremony before it starts i dont care.

We just got married yesterday and did a first look. I loved it because it was just us two (and the photographers) and I don’t think it made walking down the aisle any less special. Especially if you aren’t having a cocktail hour, I recommend a first look!

We are not doing a first look. I'm just adamantly opposed. Plus, it's super important to us that we get some time together between the ceremony and reception to hang out with our VIPs and recharge on the party bus before we face all that social interaction.

Definitely a personal preference and you will get both sides of it here. We plan on doing a first look because I feel like its more intimate and personal to see each other without everyone else staring at you. But I totally understand people who want the big wow moment of seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle. Also, I know I'm going to cry, and I'm hoping to get some of that over with before the ceremony. I would also like to do some of our photos before the ceremony, when my hair/makeup are fresh, and also so we can enjoy at least some of our cocktail hour since we are spending a ton on food and drinks for this time. It really just comes down to a) do you want everyone watching you and b) do you want to use your whole cocktail hour for photos or do some before (you can still do wedding party and family photos before either way).

I think these days most people are doing first looks before the ceremony (or at least that’s how it seems to me). But personally we preferred to wait until the ceremony to see each other!

I saw mine up til the wedding day in the morning when I left to get ready with my girls.

This is really up to you.

My husband and I slept together the night before. We were both stressed the day of the wedding so grabbed coffee before getting ready. We did a first look to calm his nerves and do pictures.

Either way is fine. It all depends on what you and FH would like. We're being more traditional with this. FH wants to be surprised seeing me walk down the aisle!

I am going to see him the day of the wedding but once I get my hair and make up and dress on, he better be miles away from me! I want him to see me all gowned up when I walk down the aisle.

I weighed out the pros and cons and just came to the decision of waiting till we walk down the isle he doesnt want to see me till i walk down the isle anyway bc he wants that initial reaction of OMG shes marrying me kind of moment as o come down the isle ...i thought about doing the before first look bc it would save time for pics doing it before but i came up with the idea bc we have 2 photographers for price of 1 im having the men do photos before just together and us ladys doing our pre pic hair makeup getting dressed etc and then ground pics before wedding then once were married we just have the me and him and group ones to do so itll cut down time that way to which is great bc i cant wait to see his face as he sees me for the first time ...i think that is the best first look you can get but it is totally up to each individual person just think about what you really want its your day do what makes you both happiest ..!! GL

I don't want him to see me until I'm walking down the aisle!

Nope not until I’m walking down the aisle. Just like finding out the sex of your unborn child, we are waiting until the Best Day Ever and be surprised. It’s what works for us 👍

I went back and forth on the first look A LOT, and only just recently pulled it from our timeline. I LOVE the idea, but felt like the whole point of making that time is to be able to get as many photos done before the ceremony as possible, and we don’t really have that time available between the first look and the ceremony, since our ceremony starts at 1pm. So we are going the more traditional, first look at the ceremony style timeline instead. It’s definitely s personal choice!
