The boudoir photo trend is here to stay, and we love the idea of capturing a special moment as a wedding gift for your husband’s eyes only. Elizabeth Messina took the photos here, something she specializes in, and we think they’re pretty enough to frame. Art in and of themselves, any guy would be lucky to get these on his wedding day.

A lace curtain serves as a beautiful prop in this sultry photo. We like the idea of including special pieces, or a bit of your environment to help remember moments in time. And of course, it’s important to find a photographer who can take tasteful photos that will serve as a timeless keepsake.

Working in part of her wedding wardrobe, the bride wears her veil in this sweet shot. The white on white combination gives the look a bridal feel, and keeps it from feeling over-the-top sexy.

Location is an important part of a boudoir shoot, and while many photographer’s have studios you can use, we suggest working in your own space where you feel comfortable, or even booking a luxury hotel suite where you can pamper yourself afterwards.

What to do with your photos once you’ve gotten them from the photographer? We think your husband would love having an album of some of your favorites, but it might also be nice to frame some of the more artistic photos and put them in a private spot in your house such as your bedroom or bathroom. Thank you Elizabeth Messina for shooting our lovely bride! beautiful!

Taigan.com is a Nashville-based website that curates beautiful pieces from boutiques around the country, so it was such fun for me to search their site for some of my favorite gifts for a wedding party. Even the most particular of bridesmaids and groomsmen will be happy with things from this list, as they cover the gamut in style and price. Check out the sneak peek and then head over to Taigan to do some shopping!

Shown here is Lettered Olive’s Cocktails at 6 Tray (top right) which is a limited edition piece created for my Life is a Party Pop-Up Shoppe that includes everything you need to get your party started! Below the tray is a fun dress by Jules Reed that I think would be perfectly suited as a bridesmaid dress and would look beautiful in wedding photos. And last but not least, are these incredible ice cubes made with special sphere molds that would make any groomsman feel like he was on an episode of Mad Men.
