Your wedding is the perfect opportunity to showcase your style, from your choice of wedding dress right down to the décor. If veering off the beaten path for your wedding gown is too big of a leap, why not do something different with your bridal portraits instead? Perhaps this is the time to live your fashion editorial fantasies by infusing your photoshoot with some serious high fashion. Check out these brides who jumped at the chance:
#01 Lace Top With A Dramatic Skirt
Story: Timeless And Romantic Seaside Bridal Portraits In Capri, Italy by Bottega53
Lace is a beautiful option for low-key bridal luxe, but wearing lace from top to toe could be a bit much. Break it up with a dramatic full-length skirt, and you’ve got yourself a dazzling two-piece that screams high fashion!
#02 Be The Glorious Lady In Red
Story: Engagement Shoot at the World’s Largest Salt Flat in Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia by Metrophoto
No matter the backdrop, a beautiful deep red gown is both dramatic and breathtaking. It is no wonder that red is the colour of love – this rich hue is romantic, mysterious, glamorous and theatrical at the same time. There’s no better way to stand out.
#03 Cool In Shiny Metallics
Story: Dramatic and Glamorous Bridal Portraits in Iceland by Acapella Photography
Forget the usual whites and neutrals, how about a glossy white or even sleek gunmetal grey? Metallics add a layer of cool to everything, and will keep your nuptials classic yet super chic. There’s no better occasion to strut those metallics.
#04 Knee-Length Cocktail Dresses

Story: Engagement Shoot in Snowy Dinner Plain, Australia by MunKeat Photography
Your bridal portraits are when you get to wear all your gorgeous dresses that you feel might be too casual for the formalities of your wedding day. These low-back, knee-length numbers are chic, refreshing, and perfect for running, jumping, and playing in. That low-back, especially, gives you a bridal feel without being over the top.
