But, have you ever heard of doing a “first look” with the bride and bridesmaid? Even the groom and his groomsmen would have fun with a “first look” photograph. Surprise your friends and family with this unique wedding tradition.

Need to add some color and international flare to your wedding? Try out this romantic French wedding tradition: the bride and groom dance beneath a white umbrella and guests receive rolls of ribbon to throw over the umbrella. The umbrella ends up covered in a cascading, waterfall of ribbon that gentling sway as the couple dances. NCSML has a great dance floor to accommodate this unique wedding tradition and all of your dancing needs!
