For brides, walking down the aisle is one of the most important parts of their wedding day. It’s a moment they’ve thought about and pictured in their minds since they were young. It’s kind of like the famous quote from the moon landing, “One small step for man. One large step for mankind.” Only it’s a woman, and it’s a large step for the rest of her life. At this moment she’s just minutes away from saying those two big words – “I do!” After attending over 100 weddings I’ve discovered the #1 mistake brides make when walking down the aisle.
The Biggest Mistake Brides Make While Walking Down The Aisle
The biggest mistake brides make while walking down the aisle is looking down! Yes, that’s right! For whatever reason, brides often look down during this special moment. A lot of the time brides are just now walking in their huge wedding dress for the first time and they’re uncomfortable and don’t want to step on their dress. They’re worried they might trip and fall and ruin their wedding day. In the midst of being concerned, they’re unaware they’re maintaining eye contact with the ground. Everyone at the wedding, including the groom, wants to see the bride’s face as she walks down the aisle. Why not show it to them?
Not only does looking down interfere with everyone seeing the bride’s face, it prevents the photographer from getting a great shot of you looking straight at the camera. If you want a photo of you looking at the camera while walking down the aisle, look at the camera when you walk down the aisle. If you’d like yourself to be smiling, smile. It’s as simple as that. Anyone can do it. Yet so many people let this slip their minds during this precious moment.
