There’s an age-old wedding tradition about couples not seeing each other on the wedding day until the ceremony. Over time, this tradition has evolved into a new one: The First Look. For the couple, with Mom and/or Dad, even Grandparents! They have grown in popularity and offer countless benefits. But the first looks don’t end there.
There’s a First Look that we think is just as important: The Room Reveal! This is an intimate time for both of you to see the wedding reception space before guests arrive. It is important to allow time to see the beautiful vision come to fruition. Couples put so much effort, thought process, and time into designing the space they have been envisioning for months. It is a moment filled with so much anticipation and excitement from the planning and design team, and from you!
Working with a planner and photographer/videographer, this is YOUR wow factor moment, and you certainly deserve it after all the hard work planning the big day. Some favorite moments to capture during this first look:
• Unique, personal details.
• Amazing reactions – You may cry, smile as big as the sky, or even be in awe – let those emotions roll.
• The planner’s reaction – Their focus on your wedding is to create an entire day that’s solely prioritized around your happiness, and they can’t wait to enjoy the reveal to see your emotions: tears, laughs, and screams of pure joy.
• You may be able to have a private First Dance allowing a few more moments together before all the chaos.
You will need to schedule a room reveal into the timeline of the day. It should only take around 15 minutes, but you will not regret sparing the time. So pause, breathe, and let the beauty of the room sink in. Your reception space is ready to host your love story, and the magic is just beginning.
