After a decade of styling couples, here’s my tried-and-tested take on what you should wear at your pre-wedding photoshoot:
1. Go Big or Go Home: Dramatic Outfits
Ever watched Kajol twirl in the “Gerua” song and wished you could be that breezy? Long-tail gowns and floating dresses are your golden ticket to cinematic glamour—never mind if you trip over the tail once or thrice. Men, this is her moment. Your job: classic suit or blazer, gentlemanly patience, and, occasionally, dress holder.
Floating gowns
2. The Long Pallu Affair
Drama should always have an encore. Think a georgette saree with a pallu so long you could wrap all your wedding shopping lists in it. Gentlemen, nothing like a well fitted bandhgala or Indo-western look to keep up .
3. Cinderella & Prince Charming Mode
why just dream it? Bring out that majestic ball gown and let your partner don a tuxedo. You’ll look so regal, you’ll get use to being treated as VIP
4. Power Couple Vibes, Activated
Want your chemistry to set off the smoke alarms? She rocks a bold bodycon dress, he brings the party, in a sharp suit. Together, you’re posting #CoupleGoals
5. Traditional with a Twist
A traditional lehenga look that you can twirl and brings out the ultra feminine urgent to be coy, will get you blushing like a to be bride
Guys, a regal sherwani or a Dhoti kurta to compliment your bride to be would be like having a hot cup of filter kapee on a rainy day
6. Let’s Get Ruffled
Nothing screams fun like a ruffle dress in bright, punchy colors. The more the frills, the better the thrill! Gentlemen, take a cue and rock some suspenders for a playful, vintage twist!
Pro Tip:
Match your outfit colors with your chosen backgrounds before shoot day. You don’t want your sunshine yellow gown blending into a sunflower field
Whatever you pick, wear it with confidence—and if all else fails, just channel your favorite movie couple. The outfits will take care of the rest.
