Sometimes the best part about going out is the “getting ready” prelude to the party with all your girlfriends. Everyone is crammed into a room or a bathroom taking up the mirror space for make up and hair. Right?

Well imagine the prelude “getting ready” of your own wedding with your best friends all around. This isn’t just any old Friday night party. This is a once in a lifetime getting ready that you and your bridesmaid’s will never forget. So why not photograph it in the best way, with the most fun as possible?

Fun “Must-Have” Portraits During the Bridal Getting Ready

1) What to wear:

You can choose for you and your bridesmaids to wear satin robes, personalized t-shirts/tanks or monogrammed button-down shirts. Please consider how comfortable they will be when being worn by your friends. They will sure to have a classic ready look for any portraits.

P.S. Satin robes are are sweet everlasting bridesmaid gift.

2) Celebrate with your favorite beverage:

Pick up and cheers to each other with a iced cold toddy coffee, some sparkling fruit water or champagne. Personalized coffee mugs make a thoughtful and USEFUL bridesmaid gift as well.

3) Confetti Poppers:

Let’s face it, these things are just plain fun! Especially when you pair champagne with confetti. Have the bride open a bottle that hasn’t been shaken while the bridesmaids throw confetti at the same time. There will be less of a mess to clean up and leave you with a awesome looking photo. If you choose confetti, go with with a lighter color confetti so that it can show up in the photos better and it’ll remain a neutral classic color.

Now, don’t be shy with it, make sure you throw it high for the ultimate flutter effect.
