FUN & CREATive first look ideas

Spetember 12, 2024

These are some of my favorite ideas to spice up your first look and give you some inspiration for your wedding day!

1. Blindfolded First Look
One partner can be blindfolded while the other approaches, creating an added layer of anticipation before the reveal. This allows you to feel the closeness and emotion without seeing each other right away.

2. First Look with Parents or Siblings
Instead of the traditional bride-and-groom first look, couples can opt to share this special moment with parents or siblings. It’s a heartwarming way to include close family members in the emotions of the day before walking down the aisle​.

3. Around a Corner or Doorway
Position yourselves on opposite sides of a door or wall, holding hands but without seeing each other yet. This builds anticipation, and the moment you peek around the corner is sure to be filled with emotion.

4. First Look with Pets
If you’re incorporating pets into your wedding, why not involve them in the first look? Let your furry friend be part of the big reveal by running up to both of you or standing between you.

5. Letter Exchange Before the First Look
Before you see each other, exchange heartfelt letters and read them privately. It adds a personal and intimate touch to the first look, making the moment even more emotional​.

6. Back-to-Back First Look
Stand back-to-back and take a few moments to talk and calm your nerves before turning around to see each other. This creates a beautiful build-up to the moment when you finally see one another.

7. Sneak Peek Before Makeup or in Casual Attire
A twist on the traditional first look is to see each other in casual clothes, pajamas, or before hair and makeup. It brings a playful, relaxed vibe before the official, dressed-up reveal later in the day.
