When we think about weddings, we often focus on the glitz and glam—the dress, the venue, the decor. But some of the most heartwarming and memorable parts of the day aren’t the ones planned into the timeline. They’re the quiet (or emotional!) moments shared between a bride and her mother. These moments tell stories of love, growth, guidance, and the unspoken bond that only mothers and daughters share.
Today, we spotlight must-have bride-and-mother moments that should be cherished and, if possible, captured.
1. The Prayer Moment
There’s something deeply symboliOf all the moments shared between a bride and her mother, the prayer is perhaps the most sacred. It’s not always captured on camera. Sometimes, it’s whispered in a quiet corner, other times spoken aloud with trembling voices and tear-filled eyes. But always, it’s powerful.
In many Ghanaian homes, a mother’s prayer is more than words—it’s a blessing passed down through generations, a spiritual armor for the journey ahead. On the wedding day, it becomes a moment of release, of deep love, and of hope.
2. Covering the Veil: A Mother’s Final Touch
There’s something deeply symbolic about the moment a mother gently places the veil over her daughter’s face. It’s quiet, it’s tender, and it speaks volumes without a single word.
The veil, often seen as a sign of purity, reverence, and transition, becomes more than just an accessory. When placed by the hands of a mother, it carries the weight of years—of lessons taught, love given, prayers whispered, and sacrifices made.
3. The Pre-Wedding Hug Bride and Mother Moments
One of the most intimate scenes is the emotional hug just before the ceremony. Whether it’s reassurance, excitement, or silent prayers, a warm embrace between the bride and her mother is a powerful pause in an otherwise fast-paced day. As seen in the image above, this moment radiates pure love and calm—a reminder of the journey from childhood to womanhood.
