Wedding Inspiration

according To Bridal Guide, This Superstition Dates Back To The Days Of Arranged Marriages, When The Father Of The Bride Was Afraid The Well-off Groom Would Find His New Wife (whom He'd Never Seen Before) Unattractive, And Back Out Of The Deal. This Leaves The Bride's Family In Shame, And Forced To Forgo Any Ideas Of Turning The Bride's Old Bedroom Into A Man Cave For Dad.

the Veil Assisted In This Mission Of Keeping The Groom In Suspense Of His Bride's Beauty, Or Lack Thereof.

gone Are These Days, At Least In America, And Yet Many Couples Still Hold Fast To This Tradition. But Why? Those Who Feel Strongly In Favor Argue That The Special Moment Is Spoiled When The Groom Has Already Seen The Bride In Her Dress. It Is Believed That Any Emotion He Might Show, Such As Tears, Will Not Occur If He Has Seen Her Earlier That Day. However, Most Wedding Photographers And Many Others Argue That The Moment Is Not Lost, But Instead Just As Beautiful, And More Easily Captured.

for Those Who Aren't Familiar, A First Look Is When A Couple About To Be Married See Each Other For The First Time In Their Wedding Clothes, Hair, And Makeup. While Some Couples Opt To Have A Photo Session For This Purpose On A Different Day, This Typically Happens A Few Short Hours Before The Wedding Ceremony. Generally The Groom Is Blindfolded Or Faced Away And Is Turned Around To View His Bride After Not Having Seen Her All Day. This Is An Intimate Moment Between The Couple With The Photographer And, If You Have One, Videographer, Capturing From The Sidelines. The Couple May Also Choose To Have The Bridal Party Present During This Time.

however, Many Brides, And Grooms, Feel Strongly Against Seeing Each Other Prior To "here Comes The Bride."

here Are A Few Of The Reasons Why I Believe You Should Seriously Give The Idea Of A First Look A Chance.
