What is Bridal Boudoir?

Bridal boudoir is all about empowering and celebrating you during this chapter of your life. It can be best described as a uniquely themed boudoir session. The look is typically overtly bridal, and the timing is intended to be in the weeks or months leading up to your wedding—included as a part of your entire wedding journey. 

The goal is to capture pre-wedding moments of excitement and anticipation, while also providing an intimate connection (or special gift) between the bride and her partner.

Wondering what looks usually suit this kind of photoshoot? Here are some bridal boudoir outfit ideas:

• Bridal lingerie. This is a go-to look for bridal boudoir. It fits both boudoir and wedding themes, creating the ultimate outfit crossover. Personalized pieces that have “bride” or “Mrs” embroidered on them are a nice touch. White or off-white colors in whatever style makes you feel like a million bucks are highly recommended. 
• A bridal robe. A luxurious bridal robe can add an elegant and sophisticated touch to your boudoir photos. Choose a robe with lace detailing, embroidery, or sheer fabrics for a soft and romantic feel. 
• Bridal accessories. Adding wedding day accessories to your outfit of choice can make it feel more “bride” instantly. Feel free to bring your wedding veil, hairpiece, shoes, or other bridal accessories into your boudoir photoshoot for a unique and personalized touch.
• Nothing but nude. Call me biased, but naked is a great outfit for any boudoir occasion. You’re welcome to let your curves free during any boudoir session, including bridal boudoir.

No matter which outfit you choose, our goal is to capture your unique personality and style. If you have some ideas but you’re still not sure, you can always reach out to your boudoir photographer beforehand. I love lending a hand and helping you choose the perfect outfit(s)! We can work together to ensure that the outfits you choose align with the overall vision for your photoshoot.

Your wedding day is undoubtedly filled with joyful moments, but can also be a whirlwind of activities. A bridal boudoir photoshoot offers a chance to capture quiet, blissful moments before the big day. These images freeze moments of anticipation, vulnerability, and excitement, creating a timeless keepsake that you can cherish for years to come.

For an intimate, thoughtful gift.

Love the idea of gifting a boudoir session? One of the most compelling reasons to opt for a bridal boudoir photoshoot is the creation of a personalized and intimate wedding gift for your partner. The images captured during the shoot can be compiled into a beautifully designed album, presented in an elegant frame, or both as a gesture of saying yes to forever. 

This thoughtful gesture goes beyond material possessions, expressing your love and commitment in a deeply personal way. And let’s be real: it’s a gift that keeps on giving, creating a stunning keepsake for both you and your partner.

To embrace vulnerability and liberation.

Stepping into the world of bridal boudoir photography requires a certain level of vulnerability. When you get in front of the camera, you’re allowing yourself to be captured in a raw and intimate way. It’s not always easy initially, but the resulting magic and transformation are worth it because vulnerability often leads to a profound sense of liberation. 

By embracing your vulnerability, you’re challenging societal and self-imposed expectations and celebrating your authenticity. This experience can be incredibly empowering and leave you with a renewed sense of strength and courage—both of which look so gorg on you!

Simply because you want to.

The truth is you don’t need a profound reason to book a bridal boudoir photoshoot—it’s enough to secure your spot with a shoot just because you want to have fun! Boudoir photography allows you to express your personal style in a creative and intimate setting. You can also let your creative side loose as you choose lingerie, accessories, and an overall look that reflects your personality and preferences.
