Best photo booth props for a wedding
You are getting married, the date has been set, the venue has been reserved and your DJ and or band is locked in, so now what? Well, aside from the million other things that are on your plate the one thing we feel you should not have to worry about is what props you will have for your wedding photo booth! Any good photo booth rental company is going to have an fantastic selection and will handle that decision for you.
When it comes to props and the overall look of your wedding photo booth photos, it’s usually good to start with one simple question; What type of experience do I want my guests to have? While fun is at the top of that list what we mean is do you want the experience and the resulting photos to be bright and colorful? Maybe sleek and sexy? Or how about modern and simple?
Ask yourself, what is the look and vibe of your wedding? Western chic? Then maybe some rustic looking props are in order. Black tie? Maybe no props would be the best way to go to keep with the elegance. Or maybe you have ditched the formalities and you’re simply hosting a little backyard get together where fun and silliness is the only thing on the menu. In that case, maybe a few props that have sentimental value for you and your guests is in order.
Once you have established the basic look and feel of your wedding it’s the perfect time to pick props that either fit into the overall theme or completely contrast the theme for something that really stands out! For instance, if your wedding happens to be a black tie affair, then sparkly top hats and chic sunglasses would compliment the elegance perfectly. Looking for a sharp contrast instead? Colorful parasols, funny thought bubble signs and maybe a few bright beach balls would be just the ticket!
Another things to consider when selecting the best photo booth props for a wedding is how they will show up in the final photos. Will they look great and compliment your guests or is there simply too much “busyness” in the photo for anyone to look good? When you consider the fact that most wedding guests will have had a few cocktails and then you throw in a bunch of fun costumes for them to play dress up with, what will the result be? If you give them too many options, chances are, they will put all of them on. Why is that not ideal? Well, when you have more than 4 people in a photo and each person is covered in all kinds of items, the resulting photo will simply be a bunch of people wearing disguises, unknown to the camera or the viewer. This is where the idea of less is more come in. By spending a little time on carefully curating some really fun and outrageous props while simultaneously ensuring that they will compliment and flatter your guest’s overall appearance, you will end up with some really fantastic and memorable photos that are free from clutter.
After all, this is a momentous occasion that should be remembered for years! We hope that helps and gets you thinking about the final image. And of course we are here to help should you be looking for any guidance.
