Tip #36 – How to be a BRIDECHILLA™ – Try out a new favorite photo idea, a
father-daughter first look.

We’ve certainly seen some of the best bride and groom first look photos. Although they are quite the tear-jerker and SO full of love, sometimes a Bridechilla will want to wait til she is walking down the aisle to see her future spouse for the first time. But here is one way you can have the endearment of a first look photo in a whole new way – have it with the one walking you down the aisle, your dad.

We’re almost convinced this is even more touching than a first look with your spouse!

“You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. She looks up to you. You’re her oracle. You’re her hero. And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party, and from that day on, you’re in a constant state of panic.” – Stanley T. Banks (Father of the Bride)

Check out some of these father-daughter first look photos below and try not to let out a big, “awwwwwwwww..” because we know we sure are. How sweet is this photo below?

“They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whoever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes, or the secrets she keeps.” – Anonymous

Bridechilla™ Tip #35

Tip #35 – How to be a BRIDECHILLA™ – Cool off your wedding guests with a unique dessert idea, an ICE CREAM BAR!

Katelyn James Photography

The whole world knows we’re huge dessert fans over here on Bridechilla™. Off The Beaten Path Weddings is too, in case you haven’t seen their luscious dessert inventions yet. And we still have summer heating us up, so we’re guessing that your wedding guests need a chill dessert to cool them after off wiggling all over the dance floor at your reception.

We love the idea of wedding desserts that aren’t just a white cake with a floral accent. They will always be a classic, but nowadays there are SO. MANY. POSSIBILITIES. All the options can be distracting, but today we’re focusing on one that can satisfy many guests’ taste buds. Join us in using this hot weather as a perfect excuse to binge on your favorite ice cream flavors!

Having an ice cream bar at your wedding is great for many reasons:

You can have multiple flavors so everyone has a choice they like.
It will help cool people off if your wedding lands on a hot summer day.
You can name the flavors ridiculously cheesy titles like, “Mint To Be” (mint chip) “Chocolate Kiss”, “Wedding Cake”, or even “Rocky Road To My Heart” (maybe we should have left that last one out?) 🙂
Include toppings! Nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips, syrups… be creative.

You can even include sugar free options!
Imagine how few people have a dessert bar as chill as this, your wedding will automatically be more unique than most.

We can go on and on, but even if you’re watching calories, sugar, or just don’t {GASP!} enjoy ice cream, there is another frozen treat we can suggest: Frozen Yogurt! Or Froyo. This option has just as many possibilities, but is known to be more healthy.
