Hotel Room First Look

Destiny, on August 25, 2020 at 9:19 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 6
My Fiancé and I are doing a desert elopement in Vegas Labor Day weekend. We are renting a nice car to drive to our ceremony together, but I will be getting ready with my mom in her hotel room while he stays in ours. Any advice to make our first look still special even though it’s just going to be us to in our room before we head to the ceremony?

    You could add rose petals or other decorations in the hotel room that you're doing the first look in to make it more decorative, or if you don't want to do the first look in the hotel room, you could go to the hotel lobby if it's a fancier lobby! If you have adjoining hotel rooms where there's a door connecting the two rooms, I've seen wedding pictures before where you and your fiance each stand on a different side of the door before your first look. No matter how you choose to do your first look, it will be special!

    Oh I love the door idea, I didn’t even think of that. Thank you! We would do the hotel lobby but they are super strict with masks, so while we are going ask if there’s an area to do it we aren’t sure that it’ll be possible. ☹️

    That makes sense about the lobby. Hopefully they'll let you take pictures in an area with no masks! Another idea I just now found in a Google search is to use the elevators (if there are two next to each other) - somehow get both elevators to open their doors on the same floor, and each of you stand in one.

    We did ours in the hotel lobby because they had a grand staircase. Unfortunately I don't see any way a hotel would be legally allowed to let you hang out in the lobby unmasked...you could try outside of the hotel by the entrance maybe?

    Which hotel are you staying at? Depending on which one they have many grand areas you can take photos like fish tanks, gardens, stairs cases or marble walls/columns.

    I would decorate your room or use a part of the hotel as PP mentioned. A lot of the hotels in vegas have really cool common areas.
