🌿 The Magic of a First Touch 💕✨

Did you know that you can share a special moment with your partner before the ceremony without actually seeing each other? Enter the "first touch"! 💑

For couples who prefer not to do a first look but still want to connect before saying "I do," a first touch is a beautiful option. It allows you to hold hands, exchange a few words, and share a quiet moment together while calming those pre-wedding nerves. 🥰

Here's why we love the idea of a first touch:

1️⃣ Heartfelt Connection: Experience a private, emotional connection with your partner before the whirlwind of the ceremony begins.

2️⃣ Nerves-Be-Gone: Talking and holding hands can help calm those pre-ceremony jitters and bring a sense of peace.

3️⃣ Beautiful Moments: Capture the genuine emotions and anticipation in stunning photos that you'll cherish forever.

💕 How It Works: Your photographer can capture the moment discreetly, ensuring that you're both able to preserve the surprise of seeing each other for the first time at the altar.

Ready to embrace the magic of a first touch on your wedding day? Talk to your wedding planner about incorporating this heartfelt moment into your ceremony timeline! 🌟

🌟 This topic may stir some discussion, but let's talk cash bars. Some say it's tacky, but is it really? Personally, I chose a cash bar to ensure my guests stayed responsible and didn't overindulge. With kids at the wedding, I didn't want any mishaps. Limiting alcohol through a cash bar can help maintain a festive but controlled atmosphere. I provided a glass of champagne and beer, and guests could choose to have more on their own tab. My husband and I don't drink, so an open bar wasn't a priority. Your wedding, your choice. Don't let others dictate what's best for your special day! 💫 🥂
