Now this tradition has been around a while but it is really beginning to take off everywhere. A first look is when the bride and groom get a "First look" at each other before the wedding ceremony.
Traditionally speaking it is bad luck for a groom to see his bride before the wedding BUT times are a changing!
The traditional me thinks that the groom won't get that WOW moment when he sees his bride walking up the aisle but the modern me thinks how amazing would it be to have a few minutes with your groom before the craziness begins. Lets face it once the vows are over your busy taking photos chatting to guests you don't really get a chance to have an intimate moment with your groom.
In reality your groom will still get that wow moment as your walking up the aisle whether you have a first look or not!
Then I think I found the happy medium, you get a "First Look" but you don't actually see each other! Clever ways to have that special moment before the ceremony starts but in keeping with the groom not seeing the bride!
This is just another example of why I love weddings now! There are no rules, brides will continue to recreate weddings and come up with their own traditions.
