The Bride begins her walk down the aisle on a beautiful autumn day at her wedding venue.  And through your computer screen you can almost hear the oohs and aahs as she does so.  Her entrance had maximum impact on her guests.  That's because she protected her entrance by staying out of view all throughout the gathering and seating of her guests. 

She did not have a preliminary photo session with her groom and bridal party that would have given the early arriving guests a sneak preview.  Neither did she mingle with guests in the foyer as they arrived for her wedding.

As a bride who intends to really impress her guests, and let's face it, every bride does, you simply must stay out of sight until you make your glorious entrance.  And there's nothing wrong with hiding your bridesmaids as well!  Your brides' prep room is the logical first choice.  Having an outdoor wedding at a gazebo?  Stay in the limo.  Don't have a limo? Then have your driver pull up at the last possible minute. 

You get the idea.  Most brides will not allow their grooms to see them before they walk down the aisle.  This absolutely applies to your guests as well.
