Top Tuesday: Top 5 Props for Wedding Photos

Breaking news! We’re introducing a brand new blog feature called ‘Top Tuesday’ featuring our favourite pick of wedding trends, ideas and inspiration for our brides and grooms. As the name suggests, this will appear on our blog on Tuesdays (about once/twice a month), alongside our well established and popular ‘Miscellaneous Monday’ and ‘Fashion Friday’.

For our first ‘TopTuesday’ we took inspiration from Pinterest, which is bursting with delightful and funky props for wedding day snapshots. After long consideration, here’s our 5 favourite prop ideas to make your couple pictures look natural and relaxed, while your guests have fun taking group shots.  

1.  Bunting banner – so cute and an easy way to create a personalised ‘Thank you’ message for your guests

2.  You’ve been framed - large frames make great pics! Simples! Just add your names and the wedding date and let the fun begin!

3. Sunshine in the swing - enjoy a quiet moment together to take in the day in a beautifully embellished swing.

4. When Harry met Sally – oversize letters of the bride’s and broom’s initials are a nice personal touch and look great in photos!

5. A pretty parasol can create amazing photo opportunities – let your photographer play with light and shadows as you and your groom share a few ‘secret’ kisses.

If you simply can’t decide on any of these, there's one more option: hire a photo booth. Over the recent years, photo booths have become more and more popular at weddings – after all, who can resist the colourful and quirky hats, glasses and masks? Some of our talented local suppliers  provide them for a small charge: Pudding Bridge, Fishee Designs, Snap in a box and Bristol Photo Booths . 

We’d love to have your feedback on this new feature. Will you consider any of the props for your big day? Just pop over on our Facebook and Twitter pages and share your thoughts. To see our full board with even more ideas, visit our Pinterest page.
