First look

We can't decide!! I would love not to do a first look. The only reason we would do one is for logistics and to get more pictures

We are doing a first look to be able to see each other in a more intimate setting and relax a little before the ceremony. I think it is a decision you and your FH need to make together!

I have always wanted the first time FH sees me in my dress to be at the end of the aisle. So we will not do a first look.

Eeek both sides have such great points. My dream is for him to see me the first time walking down the aisle. I know logistically you get more pics if you do the first look. But there's just something so magical to me in the grooms face as his bride is walking down the aisle.

We aren't doing a first look but we still want some cute pictures. Were going to meet before the ceremony but with a door or wall between us. So we can talk to each other calm our nerves and have time together prior to the ceremony. Our photographer is going to photograph that for us. I think its a win/win. He'll still be surprised when he sees me coming down the aisle and we'll get to talk before hand to get rid of any last minute pre wedding jitters

I am so on the fence about this!

We are doing one.

FH told me that he wanted to stay together the night before - his reasoning was that im an anxious mess and he can calm me. Hes not wrong.

When I told him about the first look, it only made sense. Hes going to calm me once I see him. He is so chill and im so not.

Also the timing is a big deal. November beach wedding. We want as much daylight as possible for photos. This will allow that.

I'm not, would love to see his reaction as I'm walking down

We were going to skip the first look, until we started planning out our reception timeline. We decided to do it to save time post wedding.

We aren't doing it. We are both traditional and really want that moment in the aisle.

Our wedding is very traditional. We aren't adopting any new trends. No hashtags, snapchat filters, wedding websites. Nada. So we will not be doing a first look.

We are not doing it. Our photographer ask and said that about 60% of the weddings she shoots so a first look so it's barely over half. It seems to be becoming more and more popular but we passed!

I can't decide! Fh is fine with either way and has no real opinion, so it's up to me ugh!

We did a first look! Don't regret it one bit. It 100% does not take away from the walking down the aisle. I promise you it doesn't. We did it for pictures since our ceremony was at 7pm. We went to a park and it was soo sweet. I cried during it and my husband cried as I walked down the aisle.

We did it and it was one of the best moments of the day. I loved getting to see my H before all of the guests and all of the craziness of the wedding day set in. It was a very special moment and I think our pics from it will be insane! Honestly, I didn't even see my H when I walked down the aisle, or if I did, I blacked out and don't remember. It was a lot seeing so many people and being really emotional with my dad...I say first look 100%!!! You will not regret it.

We decided not to do first looks and totally do not regret skipping them! Apparently H was fighting back tears (I was kind of far away when he first saw me so I couldn't tell; I'll see in the pro pics later!) He's not emotional in the slightest! Guests were telling me that they teared up once they saw his reaction. I had been on the fence so I'm glad to see that we made the right call. We weren't tight on time for more pics after the ceremony, either! (We actually finished early!)

No, I want us to see each other for the first time together in front of family and friends!!

If you feel that strongly that you wan that walking down the aisle surprise-then skip it!

Both me and my husband (as of Saturday!) wanted some moments alone and thought it would ease the anxiety and pressure we already felt about he ceremony

I'm glad we did it but I knew I would be. And my husband was tearing when we did the first look he still actually cried when I was walking down the aisle! He said the moment just hit him and he was so happy, so he still had that surprise reaction!

Bottom line, do what you feel will make you the most happy the day off!

We are doing one! I am excited...we are spending Friday night apart so we will already not have seen each other for the whole first half of the day. But when I see my FH for the first time I want to be able to hug him and kiss him...if I come down the isle I can't do that and I can't talk to him and relax. We are excited for it!

We're skipping it but that's because FH is dead set against it. I sent over my preliminary timeline to my photographer and I'm hoping he can capture pictures of me and my bridesmaids/parents and my fh/ and his groomsmen/family before the ceremony. That way we would only have to do a few formals after the ceremony. I'll ask for his professional opinion but he'll have to keep in mind my FH's wishes. I'd like to enjoy some of the cocktail hour at least
