Chic and Sophisticated: Inspiration for Props in Pre-Wedding Shoots from Overseas Weddings♡

What Kind of Stylish Pre-Wedding Props Are There?

Props You Want to Prepare for Wedding Photo Shoots ♡

Not long ago, it was popular to DIY many pre-wedding props and take shots with poses that utilized them...

Recently, however, there has been an increase in natural wedding photos that don't use props.

Handmade cluttered props can easily end up looking tacky if not done carefully.

That said, it's a bit lonely not to prepare anything at all, so I want to incorporate some stylish props that reflect our personalities...!

Let's Get Inspired by Overseas Wedding Props ♡

What I'd like to refer to in such cases are overseas wedding photos ♡

While overseas, it might seem that no props are used for shooting...

In reality, many overseas couples are capturing beautiful wedding photos using stylish props ♡

Let's take a look at what kind of shooting props they prepare ＊

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #1 Handkerchief & Cupcake

A bridal handkerchief embroidered with the words "Groom" and "Bride," topped with a cupcake ♡

Capture a natural scene of the two of you chatting and enjoying it.

The bridal handkerchief will be needed on the wedding day, so it’s a win-win ♩

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #2 Paper Items

A solo shot of a bride holding her uniquely designed invitation.

Since you usually don't have a chance to have a professional photo taken of the invitation alone, using it as a pre-wedding prop will make for a nice memory ♡

This is an idea that brides who handmade their paper items should especially try to imitate.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #3 Photo Wreath

A photo wreath printed in black and white with photos attached to a ribbon and set on a gold hoop. This is a trendy DIY idea from overseas ♡

This item looks great whether held by both or just one person.

On the wedding day, it will also serve as a decoration for the welcome space.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #4 A Single Flower

While photos of the bride holding a wedding bouquet are a standard,…

You might not have seen a photo of the bride holding a single flower while playfully smiling like this ♡

At the end of the shoot, it would be nice to take a picture with one flower plucked from the bouquet.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #5 Chair Signs

More Japanese brides are starting to use chair signs as pre-wedding props.

Since the words "Groom" and "Bride" serve as the motif, they are also easy to use for profile books and videos ♡

You can take a picture holding each sign or capture it from behind like this.

Ordering chair signs with your names would be wonderful too.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #6 Wedding Wreath

A stylish wedding wreath designed by combining a glamorous flower wreath with a cake topper ♡

Here, the couple is blurred behind the wedding wreath hanging from the ceiling, but it also works great to hold it while shooting.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #8 Straw Hat

A romantic kiss shot hidden behind a straw hat embroidered with the phrase "Lucky in love" ♡

This is an idea to imitate for shoots at the beach ♡

It's also lovely to embroider the wedding day, registration date, or the couple's initials.

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #9 Jacket

The groom's jacket features the phrase "mrs keeping my last name.” It signifies that their last names have been combined ♩

Writing on the jacket is a bold idea, but that’s what makes it unique and aspirational ♡

Overseas Wedding Photo Pre-Wedding Props #10 Glass

Finally, we introduce a champagne glass filled with strawberries ♡ A shot of the two of you toasting gives an adult vibe.

Few people in Japan capture a toast shot during pre-wedding photos, so it makes us want to try it out.

Let's Prepare Some Wonderful Pre-Wedding Props ♡

We introduced stylish overseas wedding photos using shooting props.

They make fashionable use out of items that aren’t typically used as props in Japan, which is admirable ♡

If you want to avoid photos with a tacky atmosphere but still want to be creative with some props… how about using this as a reference, brides? ♡
