You and your bridesmaids may have all your dresses picked out, fitted, and ready to go… but have you thought about what to wear before putting them on? While getting ready looks may not sound too important, if you’ve hired Emotive Photo as your wedding photographer, we’ll show up just in time to capture those final finishing touches before you step into your wedding gown and trust us, you’ll want to have something that’s not only comfy and cute, but photogenic too! Here’s a little inspiration for you…  some of our own brides & bridesmaids getting ready & what they chose to wear at these beautiful Florida wedding venues.

ROBES

Want to feel comfortable and fancy while you prep for your big day? Matching robes add a dose of elegance to the getting ready room as you sip champagne and get your hair done! (don’t forget to steam the robes ahead of time for flawless getting ready photos!) Check out Plum Pretty Sugar… they have some of our favs!

ROMPERS

The most important part of choosing your getting ready look is selecting something that won’t mess up your girls’ hair and makeup when they change into their dresses! Rompers are a cute solution since you can’t take them off over your head anyway. Printed, floral, matching, or mismatched — your girls will love getting ready in rompers!

BUTTON DOWNS

Like with rompers, button down shirts or dresses solve the problem of not wanting to ruin your hair-do. Go for a comfy look with oversized button downs in any color, stripes or polka dots, or personalized monograms! They also make for creative, personalized & useful bridesmaid gifts!

A note from Jen… “Overall, I hoped my wedding day would be a happy day that really celebrated what Matt and I have together. Sure, there were quite a few little things that were not ideal… Such as the rain keeping us from using our beautiful outside ceremony space! On the other hand, our wedding party was fantastic and really stepped up to help make sure we were calm and excited. Seeing all our family and friends surrounding us as we took our vows was such an overwhelming and indescribable feeling.”

The Delamater House 

New Smyrna Beach, Florida Wedding Venue

Dustin and Haleigh Smith celebrated their wedding day at the Delamater House in New Smyrna Beach, Florida and we were honored to be their wedding photographers. The goal in decorating for their wedding at the Delamater House was to transport their guests to another time and place. It was the perfect venue for them and you can view more of their vintage and romantic southern wedding here.
