Check out some of our favorite photos and the top bridal party poses that everyone needs to try!
Top Bridal Party Poses
Linking Arms
This pose is great because it really just brings the whole bridal party together! Instead of just standing next to each other, why not all link up together? We also love the look of alternating bridesmaids and groomsmen on both sides of the bride and groom– totally visually appealing!


All about that Ring!
We absolutely LOVE the ring photos! It’s a big deal that you got married, so why not have bridal party members fawn over your new bling? This is one of those moments that needs to be captured for your wedding album.


Pairing Off
This pose is so easy to do and looks great- totally adds that dimension to your group photos! Even better if you have an even number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, but if not, don’t worry! You can just pair up a group of three and it still looks awesome!


Back Shot
This photo is great because it captures so much that is missed when you take photos facing forward! You spend lots of time and money on your getting your hair done, so let’s see those up-dos! This pose is also great to get a shot of your dress from behind so we can really see your train and veil!


With the Girls
It’s one thing just getting your girls all lined up for a photo, but it’s even better to get the candid shots! We love these laughing photos, and we know you will too! This is the perfect moment to show the bond between the bride and her bridesmaids.


Bride/Groom Held up by Bridesmaids/Groomsmen
This is definitely a fun bridal party pose, just make sure your bridesmaids or groomsmen don’t drop you! 😉 It’s a great way to add some humor and joy to your group shot.




The Dip
Ah, the classic dip. This is a fun pose to do, especially if you get the bridal party to make some funny facial expressions behind you (like covering their eyes, excited/cheering, etc). It’s one of those playful moments that will make your wedding album memorable!


The “Walk Towards the Camera” Shot
Have your bridal party walk confidently toward the camera, showing off their excitement and energy. This dynamic pose adds movement and creates a cinematic effect in your wedding party photos.
The Champagne Toast
Capture the celebration by having your bridal party members raise their glasses for a toast. A fun shot of popping champagne can add a lively and joyful touch to your big day memories.
The Fun Personality Pose
Let each person in your bridal party strike a pose that reflects their personality. Whether it’s silly, fierce, or dramatic, this group shot adds a personal and entertaining touch to your photos.
