Today we talk about one of the first things we ask during our Consults - would you like a 1st Look, or would you like to wait for a Ceremony reveal.
Show Notes
Listen in as we discuss another hot topic - whether you and your partner have a first look, or you wait until you see each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle.
Let's break down what the difference is!
A first look is when you and your partner see each other privately before the ceremony.
A traditional ceremony reveal is exactly how it sounds, you see each other walking down the aisle for the first time.
Maybe you're still stuck on what to do, here are some reasons why you might want to do either:
1st Look! - "Lemme see you're face"
- logistically - flow of the day
- only moment of peace before the day begins
- emotions are too much
- transportation
Ceremony Reveal - "Ugly tears"
- drama as the doors open
- superstitious
- better lighting for your bridal photos
- you don't have to get up as early
- logistics + site
Here are some Tips for both situations:
- 1st Look: Ways to transform your look (no veil or florals at 1st look, then put them on when ceremony begins so still feel like a bride)
- 1st Look: Work with your planner + photographer to get all the bridal party pics done first, so you can enjoy the time with your friends and family after the ceremony
- Ceremony Reveal: Logistically (work with your Planner and transportation to make sure you and your partner arrive at staggered times so you don’t see each other before the ceremony)
- Ceremony Reveal: Touchups! Get your MUA to retouch after the bridal photos are done, and before reception
- Ceremony Reveal: The Photos you wouldn't normally be able to do (Girls and guy photos, dad reveal, mom and daughter)
