E is for Entrance

E

We explore the elements of the entrance - pick and choose from these tips on how the newly married couple and their bridal party can make a great one!

Location -

It is time to appear before the guests at the reception. You already made a dramatic and beautiful entrance at the ceremony, and now it's your chance to wow them a second time. Check out the venue and pick the perfect spot. Can you remain hidden before you get there? Are there large dramatic doors or is there an impressive staircase? Maybe come in through a less obvious entrance and add in an element of surprise!

Attire -

Wear something fun and different - goofy glasses, hats, something that represents your alma mater or favorite sports team. Girls - kick off those painful heels and switch into your comfy, oversized reception slippers!

Announcement -

Having your entrance announced certainly gets everyone's attention and turns the focus to you as you step onto the scene. Work with your DJ, or the family member/friend who you would like to have do the introductions on making the announcement unique and memorable.

Music -

Select a song fitting for your entrance and have it played as you walk in. You can time your entrance to the perfect moment in the song, or come in dancing so that everyone can catch a glimpse of your sweet moves. (You can go big in the beginning or save your signature shuffle for later. You have plenty of time to dance the night away!)
