While you’re busy planning your outfits and the decor for your wedding, there’s one thing that you’re probably forgetting about. Planning your photos. Yes, we know it sounds silly. But the only sure shot way to get a wedding album of your dreams is to plan your bridal poses beforehand. No matter how well you plan everything, the wedding day tends to get chaotic. Nobody gets ready on time and the makeup artist, too, almost takes too long to get you ready. In all the running around, one thing that gets compromised is bridal photos. You spend months planning your wedding look and you must do justice to it by getting loads of amazing pictures clicked. So, we’ve put together a list of fun and gorgeous poses for all your bridal photos.

Some of The Best Poses for Bridal Photos

The Bridal Makeup Shot

One of the most memorable shots for a wedding album is a good bridal makeup shot. Getting ready is a very personal and emotional time for a bride and there is nothing like having that moment captured perfectly. Many photographers ask makeup artists for fake poses once the bride’s makeup is all done. All they have to do is pretend to add some last minute touch ups to the bride’s makeup and pose for the pictures. These bridal photos will no doubt add grace to your wedding album.

The Sneaky Mehendi Portrait

Getting your bridal mehendi is one of the best moments to get clicked. You’re sitting in one place for at least 3-4 hours, looking gorgeous and getting super pretty mehendi – this is the golden time for photographers to get as many portraits as they want. And once your mehendi is all done, you can even pose while showing off your pretty henna adorned hands. Whether you sneakily hide your face with your hands or laugh heartily while showcasing your mehendi, these portraits are a must for any wedding album.

The Bridechilla Pose

These are the most trending photo ideas these days. Traditional bridal poses where the bride is looking all shy and coy are so passé. These days, brides are posing with food, drinks, sunglasses and even gangster signs. And these aren’t candid! Brides are posing with full confidence and creativity. Whether a bride is showing of her sneakers under her lehenga, or posing on a motorcycle, bridechilla goals are the new trend these days. Even on Instagram, you’ll find pictures of brides showing off their cool, quirky and chill side instead of just posing with coy smiles.

One With all Your Bridesmaids

After you’ve gotten all your solo bridal photos, it’s time to let lose with your besties. Having your bridesmaids around is super important during your wedding ceremonies. So why not get that captures in your pictures. You’re truly the happiest when you’re around your besties. So get creative and have your bridesmaids get in the frame with you. They can laugh heartily with you, help you get ready or put on your jewelry, pop the champagne with you and even coordinate their outfits for that perfect shot. These pictures will definitely turn out to be the most Instagram worthy!

Close up Shots of Details

Your wedding album needs some variety. You can’t only have long shot pictures. It’s a great idea to get some close up shots of your outfit and jewelry – after all you’ve spent so much time and money on planning your look for the day! One of the best ways to get your jewelry captures is to give candid shots while adjusting your necklace, earring or any piece of jewelry. You can even ask you mom or sister to put on your jewelry for a sweet, emotional click. Close up shots of your lehenga too, will look great in your album. Get shots of your blouse, latkans or even your footwear.

The Oh-So Bollywood Clicks

Get your Bollywood swag on for this one! Channel your inner Bollywood diva and do all the twirls and poses you can. You can play with your bangles, run around in your lehenga, jump in the air with your dupatta for a fun Bollywood inspired click. To get in the mood, you can even play your favorite Bollywood song while getting clicked. This is sure to bring out the free-spirited bridechilla in you and you can get all your best shots.

The perfect Ceremonial Clicks

What is a wedding album without some serious ceremonial clicks? While performing the ceremonies, make sure you don’t rush and wait for a few seconds so your photographer has a chance to capture all the important moments. These are the most perfect candid clicks and will will truly capture the essence of your wedding functions. For these clicks, it is important to make sure that you don’t let your friends or family members crowd too much around you. Otherwise the pictures will look extremely unprofessional and not at all instagram-worthy!

Use Your Wedding Venue Judiciously

Wedding venues are full of opportunities for good pictures, provided your photographer has an eye for useful backgrounds and props. You could find a pretty door and twirl in front of it or use the décor flowers as props for some unique shots. Using the wedding décor judiciously is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to glam up your wedding album. Well decorated or theme backgrounds work specially well for solo bridal pictures, so keep an eye out for all the décor that you can use!

Get Those raw Candid Emotions Captured

Candid pictures are truly some of the best and most memorable shots. Especially when they capture the raw and beautiful emotions a bride goes through on her big. Whether it is a candid laugh, or an emotional moment in between the functions, candid shots capture the true essence of a wedding. The best part is, you don’t have pose for hours to get the right shot. Simply go on about your functions and ask your photographer to assign someone specifically to take candid pictures of you and the groom. You can choose the best ones to keep in your album later.

The Portrait-like royal click

It goes without saying that you must have spent months planning your wedding look and then hours getting ready on the actual day. It will be a bummer if your wedding album doesn’t have good pictures your entire look. Plan your makeup such that you get at least 20-30 minutes to get your solo pictures clicked. It’s best to get clicked as soon as you get ready as that is the only time your makeup will look super fresh and your outfit will look perfect. Practice your poses beforehand so you don’t waste time trying to figure out a pose. The key is to simply get your entire look captured.
