Props for "getting ready" pics?

Alexandria, on November 9, 2018 at 7:56 AM Posted in Planning 0 11
Hey gals, so I plan to get ready with my 4 bridesmaids and my mom and other cousins will stop by later. I want our pics to be natural but is there anything else I can add that would make the pics fun, some kind of prop or something? I already plan to have mimosas but I'm just wondering if anyone did anything unique that made the pics fun and added a little something different?

    My D is doing the usual stuff with the cute hangers, oversized button down shirts with their own monograms, and mimosas. Her wedding has a vintage theme and I found a beautiful handheld antique mirror and vanity tray for props. She doesn’t know it, but I’m also bringing her baptism and 1st communion gowns to hang by her wedding gown 😭. Her “3 white dresses”. The photographer won’t be there while they’re actually getting ready but we hope to capture some non-pro shots. This all happens TOMORROW!!!

    Thank you! Her grandma had given her a handkerchief on her 1st communion to use as her “something old” when she gets married. When I got it out of her memory box to put with her dress, I found a bookmark grandma had also included with the poem ‘My Three White Dresses’ on it. I plan to frame a photo of her dresses along with the bookmark and handkerchief after the wedding.

    Hi Alexandria! Another fun idea is to do a confetti popper in your getting ready outfits! These photos can be so cute! Here are a few examples:

    Also, photos of you and your bridesmaids simply getting ready can be so beautiful:

    Sam beat me to it, but was going to suggest confetti as well! A friend of mine did that for her getting ready shots along with opening a bottle of champagne and they were really cute!

    My bridesmaids are getting gifts in addition to these, but they are getting robes & personalized hangers that we will use as props in the pictures. They won't say bridesmaid or anything, just their names or initials.

    I was also going to suggest shaking up a bottle of champagne for photos! Although a bit messy, the reactions a priceless and the photos are adorable! Smiley laugh
