Tips to Look Your Best in Your Wedding Video

Because your wedding video is FOREVER — and you deserve to look like the glowing, confident queen you are.

Brides are always asking me what they should wear for their wedding video, especially if they are doing a pre-wedding video. Here are a few of my suggestions for you to look your best in your video whether it’s you’re pre-wedding video or on your wedding day!

Let’s talk about wedding videos for a second.

Wedding videos are magical. They capture the laughter, the tears, the vows, the hugs, the dancing, the details, the moments you didn’t even know were happening. They’re emotional. They’re beautiful. They’re priceless.

But they’re also… intimidating.

Because suddenly you’re not just living your wedding day — you’re being filmed living your wedding day. And that can feel like a lot.

You want to look natural. You want to look confident. You want to look like yourself — but the best version of yourself. You want to glow. You want to radiate joy. You want to watch your video years later and think, “WOW. I looked GOOD.”

And guess what? You CAN.

Looking amazing on camera isn’t about perfection. It’s not about being a model. It’s not about posing like you’re on a magazine cover.

It’s about:

Feeling confident
Feeling comfortable
Feeling prepared
Feeling present
Feeling like YOU

This post is your guide to doing exactly that.

Alright, queen. Let’s get you glowing.

Tips to Look Your Best in Your Wedding Video

1. Wear your make up 30% darker. If your not comfortable doing this yourself, practice or hire a professional. If you’re looking to save money, beauty schools can do it for a discounted rate but it might be a good idea to get a referral from someone.

2. Wear something you’re comfortable in. If you’re not used to wearing heels, don’t wear them! As cute as they may look in photos, you will look awkward in video if you aren’t able to walk in them.

3. Don’t be afraid to move. Video is all about movement. You’re video will have a lot more pizazz if you move.

4. Cuddle up. Use your hubby as a prop to help you move naturally. Cozy up to him, hold his hand, peck him on the cheeks, etc.

5. Practice kissing! This may sound silly but watch yourself in the mirror and look to see if you smash noses or cheeks. You might want to tone it back for the video.

6. Practice dipping, spinning, and picking her up. Because video is all about movement, your videographer is going to have a much easier time editing if you are able to gracefully do a few of these movements.

7. Relax. You’re working with a professional! They are going to make you look good!
