Images are the memories in the reel, and everybody knows how fun it is for the girls to take photos. And your wedding day is a big day for you, would you not like the best bridal poses for the ceremonies? You do, I’m sure. Now that I think about it, it has several elements, images as you prepare your veil, or candid photos, or how about those special poses with the mirror reflections?

I’m also sure of the fact that you would have thought of some poses that would highlight certain aspects of your personality or the outfit you will wear on D-day.

But, if you haven’t, we’re here to help you out. Here some of the most trending and creative poses that you can pose in and shine bright like a diamond.

Solo Pose

1. Getting Ready for the ceremony pose

One of the new trends for all the millennial brides; get clicked while you’re getting ready. The make-up artist putting on the lipstick or eyeliner, wearing the necklace or earrings, sitting, or standing beside your lehenga skirt are some of the poses that you can make and get clicked. All of these poses are a testament to you being excited and ready to take the next step in your life.

2. Use any reflective surface a perfect reflection pose

Another very trendy and elegant pose is when the bride stands near the glass window and looks out of it. This pose shows you deep in thought while looking at the outside world. Or why not sit in front of the mirror and admire your transformation? These reflection poses make for a very classy and extremely creative picture. One can play around with the lightings to give an extra glow. 

3. Angled pose

Another very widely used pose is when the photographer clicks a close-up shot, side angle, or from the top angle. These shots not only capture your beauty to the maximum but also the gorgeous glimmering jewellery that you are wearing. And let’s not forget that makeup!

4. Show off that amazing Mehandi pose

You’ve had the Mehendi ceremony a day before your wedding and not it’s time to show off the beautiful henna color on your hands and feet. There are a variety of poses that you can pose in; show your arms, put your hands, palms up, in front of your face, or show the creative design done at the back of the hands. Whatever may be the pose, make sure that the Mehandi is the center of attraction.

5. Traditional veiled bride pose

Covering the bride’s face with a veil has been an Indian tradition for as long as I can remember. However, the millennials have given it a modern twist. A shy smiled pose is one of the best poses that brings out the true elegance and beauty of being an Indian bride. And since most of the veils, be it your lehenga dupatta or a separate veil, are made of net or some other see-through material, it captured the facial expressions very well. 

6. Twirling pose

Since childhood, twirling has been one of the favorite habits of the girls whenever we wore a heavily flared skirt or a frock. This same habit has been imbibed in the bridal photoshoots as well. Twirling gives you the opportunity to show off that amazing detailed work that has been done on the lehenga skirt. You spend hours scouring the streets and shops for that perfect dress, why not flaunt it?

7. Play with light and shadow pose

The play of light gives an excellent contrast to the surroundings while highlighting the bride. These pose in the pictures speaks for themselves.

8. Portrait shot poses

Portrait shots are one of the most commonly used clicks made by a photographer. The main idea behind these shots is to capture the Indian bride in her true elegance and magnificent beauty. It is not necessary that one needs to be standing to get the full shots. You can sit on a high back chair, hide partially behind a door or a curtain, lean against a decorated wall, or stand like a royal queen while looking away from the camera, there are a lot of possible poses that you can think of and show your pretty self to the world.

9. Carefree or Candid poses

I wouldn’t exactly term them as pose as the photographer just clicks you in your carefree form. Just instruct the photographer to follow you and click when you’re laughing, dancing, giggling, or merely having fun with your family and friends. Candid shots are also some of the shots to cherish and they make you smile instantly when thinking about the joyous day.

10. Quirky and fun poses

Why should weddings always be a serious affair? And why should the bride always have a shy demeanor? The millennials have once again broken the stereotype by posing in some funny, cute, and quirky poses. Be the bride that is modern but is also traditional, wear your favorite goggles, do the dab, become the Indian James Bond, sip a glass of juice while chilling on the comfortable and cozy bed; do whatever you feel like. These poses will make the day more fun and exciting for you.

Group or Couple Poses

1. With your husband

You’ve just been married to the love of your life and now it’s time to spend some quality time together and pose for a couple of pictures. There are many ways that you can show the chemistry you have with each other; stand close to one another, let the husband propose to you again, stand with your back against his chest, walk hand in hand. How about you both show some fun side of yourself as well?

2. With your family

Shots with one’s family are always somber and full of affection. The photographer doesn’t have to instruct much as the appreciation you have for your parents and the parents’ love for their daughter instantly comes forth and the poses that are made are extremely natural. And even if you have fought with your siblings, their inner love for you is sure to come out naturally in your wedding.

3. With your friends and cousins

Any photo with them is bound to be fun because it is their mission to make you laugh and forget about the jitters that you’ve been having all day. The poses come automatically without much prompting from the photographer.

4. Pose with your pets

This is quite a new trend among modern brides. Pets are an integral part of one’s family and getting a picture with them is a must. Most of the time, these are carefree poses as the love you have for your pet automatically shows in the way you interact with them.

We’ve covered a lot of poses and now it’s time for you to try them out. Or if you’re not getting married in the near future, why not suggest some of them to a friend or a family member who’s getting married? Make a wonderful pose, click loads of pictures, and cherish these memories for many years. Do let the @VenueMonk team know which ones you liked the most.
