Looking back at your wedding, what will the most special moments be? It may vary from one couple to the next, but brides and grooms tend to find certain wedding moments remarkable across the board. These are some of the most memorable wedding moments – be sure to plan yours to be just as special.
Newlyweds frequently look back fondly on their first dance. It can feel as if it is just the bride and groom alone out there on the dance floor. How can you make your first dance this special? Rather than just sway to the music, take a few lessons to learn some moves for your first dance. After all, it will be hard to just enjoy the moment if you are stepping on each other’s feet. Do stay away from trendy choreographed dances. Although they can be amusing, a choregraphed dance is often about showing off, not showing love. The first dance is for the newlyweds, not so much the guests.
The wedding morning is when many of the unscripted moments occur which you will always remember. Brides and grooms who do pre-wedding photo shots frequently say that time alone was incredibly memorable. On the other hand, if you are more traditional, an unforgettable point in the day may well be when the groom first sees his bride coming down the aisle towards him. Ask your photographer to have his camera at the ready to catch that special snapshot. Yours wouldn’t be the only groom to shed a tear when he sees his bride for the first time.
Lots of unforgettable moments take place with your attendants or parents. Lots of brides share a pre-wedding toast with their bridesmaids, and it would be great to capture that time with a few photographs of the bride with her lovely ladies in their beautiful dresses and bridesmaid jewelry. The best times can come even earlier in the day, before everyone has gotten into their dresses and bridesmaid jewelry sets. The informal times that occur during the morning while getting ready are often very fun. Your mom and dad might wish to give you a special piece of wedding jewelry and a few special words before the wedding.
The day of your wedding will be over in the blink of an eye, so it is important to savor some alone time. Perhaps you could share a toast alone out on the patio of your reception site. The ride from the ceremony to the reception venue will likely be your first private time together. It will probably be your the first chance you have to say a few private words. Let someone else drive you to the reception so you can enjoy your very first minutes as newlyweds. Some of the romance will be missing from the drive if the groom is busy navigating through traffic.
A great getaway can also be a high point of your wedding. It’s a very special time when the newlyweds leave their wedding to go start their married life. Consider what could help create those unforgettable memories. Would it be swooshing off on cross country skis? Maybe you have always imagined yourselves being taken away in a horse drawn carriage or a vintage car. You will always remember the moment when you leave your wedding at the end of the night, so it is important to plan something special.
