Would you rather... have a first look or wait until you walk down the aisle?

Lynnie, on April 9, 2019 at 11:05 AM Posted in Planning 1 185

Which wedding day reveal are you choosing? Would you rather do a first look, or wait so the first time you see each other is walking down the aisle?

Next Question: Would you rather add 20 guests or cut 20 guests from your guest list?

    We're actually doing a first touch where we hold hands and have our eyes closed to say some sweet words and a prayer.

    First look. It's practical and some time to process just us two.

    My fiance is adamant that he doesn't want to see me until I walk down the aisle, and I like the idea, too. I'm just a little anxious about making sure we have enough time for photos during cocktail hour then.

    Walk down the aisle. That's what we're planning on doing.

    I like the idea of a first look, it gets the pictures out of the way so that we can be present at the cocktail hour with our guests. I will be choosing the first look and getting the photos out of the way before the ceremony.

    Definitely a "first look"! Can't wait to see FH's genuine reaction with no distractions

    First look was never even considered. My FH and I were always on the same page on this one. Our wedding will not be very traditional at all but on this one it was a must to not see each other until im walking down the aisle.

    First look. It was one of the best parts of the day. H cried when he saw me at our first look and still choked up when I walked down the aisle.

    Forst looks are very popular right now but we love and have always loved the walking down the isle look and first reaction on the isle so we are keeping it traditional!

    First look. We want a private moment just us. Also cocktail hour is my favorite part of weddings, so I wanna try to make at least some of mine.

    I wouldn't mind a first look, as long as his reaction is the same. I just want it captured.

    Wait until I walk down the aisle! I’m a little traditional in that respect

    I like the idea of a first look, but I want to wait for him to see my dress like everyone else

    First look, because we want to take pictures before the ceremony and our ceremony won’t happen until it’s getting dark outside. (I want pics outside!)

    Definitely would rather wait but we have to do pictures early and first look while there is still daylight
