The non-traditional "first look" is a relatively new thing for the bride and groom today to consider. I think it can be very special to have those few moments of alone time before the wedding. Once the ceremony begins you and your groom will have very moments just the two of you because you will be surrounded by family and friends. I am not saying that is a bad thing, but it may also be very special to sit with each other, look at how amazing one another looks, and just soak up all the emotions and wedding day jitters. And some bride & grooms will write letters to each other and take the moment to read them, which I think is a super special thing to do. Also, instead of sharing the first look with all your wedding guests, it will be a moment for just the two of you to share. Another thing to consider is this allows time for pictures before the ceremony so after the ceremony it is party time!
Now for those who are very traditional but love the emotion and special moments involved in a first look, why not consider a first look with your dad? I personally love this idea because I am extremely close to my dad and even though he lives in Oregon and I in Savannah we talk multiple times a week. This also allows him a special moment to see his baby girl all grown up. I am very excited because my dad and stepmom arrive in Savannah tomorrow! :)
Anyway, what are your opinions? Are you a traditional kind of girl or do you just love the idea of having a first look?
