\"Grand<\/p>\n

No need to scour internet forums or frantically search YouTube videos for ideas. At Complete Weddings + Events, Your premier Grand Forks wedding Photography we\u2019ve witnessed thousands of entrances through the years (some awesome, and some not so awesome). From choreographed dance moves to props, we\u2019ve seen it all. So, we put together the perfect \u201cHow To\u201d guide just for you to make sure you walk into your reception like a boss.<\/p>\n

YES! You made it through the wedding ceremony! Now, it\u2019s time for your first announcement as a married couple. Walking into your reception is \u200bkind of \u200ba big deal, and you don\u2019t want to wait until the day of to figure out how you\u2019re going to make your grand entrance! These days, moments like this are captured not only for your official wedding video, but also on a few dozen smartphone cameras, and possibly shared across multiple social media platforms, but no pressure!<\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to be goofy. If it\u2019s not a little awkward you\u2019re not doing it right. You have to fully commit, and remember that everyone is there to celebrate YOU! When the guests see you having fun, it automatically sets the tone for the rest of the reception. Comedy is your friend!<\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/p>\n

Get the whole bridal party on board. The bride and groom are the main attractions, but it\u2019s even better when the whole group gets in on the fun to build up the momentum for the new married couple\u2019s big announcement! Encourage them to get creative, and props are always a fun addition. Sunglasses, hats, or switching outfits (pending both parties are on board) can elevate an entrance from bland to grand. Props help take some of the pressure off because there\u2019s something else for people to focus on, and they help spur creativity!<\/span><\/p>\n

Be yourself! Some people go for the shock value and others go for sweet and romantic -but whatever you do, make sure it feels authentic for you. At the end of the day, you want to be comfortable and able to enjoy YOUR moment to its fullest.<\/p>\n
