Peacock feathers. Snakes skin. Leopard. Roooooooarrrr. Welcome to the jungle. We LOVE it! Brides are starting to show off their wild side, whether they hide some leopard pumps under their snowy white gowns or peacock feathers in the centerpieces. You go, gir-roar-l. As far as photos go, little personal touches like this go a long way in telling a pictorial story. Your photographer will love you. That said, as always, we have some tips on how not to go overboard.
- Make a statement. A brief, punctuated statement. Make your “wild touch” a little on the demur side. Translation: NO leopard wedding gowns or bridesmaid dresses. We are talking small touches. (On that note, it is our belief that Big did not get out of the limo in Sex In the City because he saw his bride, who was wearing a big bird in her hair. A bird, Carrie? Really?)
- If it is not you, it’s not you. No faking. If you are not wild and you wish to ignore this post altogether, do it. Don’t fake the funk. You’ll regret it when you are looking at your wedding album much in the same way you look at what you wore to your high school dances. Your wedding is a reflection of your style. If you are more Hamptons than Greenwich Village, it’s OK. You are a grown up and you have preferences. Move on.
- If you are going to really mix it up, we encourage you to grab a posterboard, the glue stick and some swatches so you can really envision your colors and touches. Think about it. Don’t let your wild child decision be one you make on a whim. It’s your wedding; take your time.
