Hey ladies!!
So I know this subject has been brought up quite a bit, but I’m now having the same dilemma and would love some advice/feedback!!
So I was extremely against doing a first look for a long time. I thought the first time my groom should see me is walking down the aisle, and I wasn’t gonna be persuaded otherwise.
And then.... I started planning the wedding. And now I’m torn!! We just had our tasting, and the appetizers were so amazing, and our cocktail hour is taking place outside (weather permitting) with lawn games and wandering the grounds feeding the horses. We are gonna move the lawn games to the reception location (short walk from cocktail hour) but cocktail hour is probably gonna be the time people play the most, and my groom was super bummed when he learned we would miss it. And the more I think about, I’m really gonna be bummed if we miss it. The pros of doing a first look really do outweigh my only con, but I guess I’m still a little torn.
So ladies that did or didn’t do a first look, did you regret your choice? Did you actually get to make it to your cocktail hour? Do you feel like you missed your “bridal moment” walking down the aisle by doing a first look?
Another pro for us is that we would be able to exchange personal vows during our first look. My fiancé is super nervous about writing our own vows and saying them in front of 100 people, so this would help him a ton and give us an intimate, private moment before the party begins!
