Your wedding day is once in a lifetime fairytale affair and pictures can help treasure the most beautiful memories. On your wedding, you'll be clicked from every possible angle, in every pose and from multiple cameras at the same time. All this can prove to be quite intimidating if you're not prepped beforehand. You don't need to be highly photogenic in order to look great in your wedding pictures. Whether you dread getting clicked or are addicted to the camera, here are 10 sure ways to make sure you look beautiful in your wedding pictures.

1. Smile like you mean it

A simple smile can illuminate your wedding pictures. How you smile in your pictures can make or break the outcome. It might sound odd but it's a good idea to practice your smile and be comfortable with it. Go through the favourite pictures of yourself and notice how your smile impacts how pretty you appear. Trust us, the more you smile, the more natural it'll feel. So rule no. 1 to look beautiful, show that smile!

2. Put your best profile forward

Yet another technique to master to look beautiful before the wedding festivities kick in! Explore and figure out your best profile, i.e. the better side of your face, and you will look more flattering in pictures. This will enable you to automatically display the right profile when you are being clicked. If you cannot figure this out yourself, consult the photographer beforehand.

3. The right posture

Remember! A perfect posture is better than any filter. Right postures can make you look more confident and attractive in pictures. To look beautiful and improve your posture, start standing straight, sitting straight, do some stretches, elongate your neck. Exercises like planks can help you ace this technique.

4. Teeth whitening

It is almost impossible to look beautiful without a beautiful smile. Whether you're posing or the photographer is clicking candid moments, you'd want your teeth to appear pristine white. Start visiting a dentist regularly once your wedding date is fixed and don't forget to take care of your pearlies at home. And that goes for your spouse as well, so that the two of you get the most perfect Indian wedding couple photos.

5. Makeup matters

First things first, tones of yellow, gold and bronze look sultry in the mirror but can appear horrendous in pictures. Similarly, makeup with chunky glitter can end up giving you a sweaty look. So, make sure you pick flattering colours and products for your wedding makeup. Focus on enhancing your features such as lips, eyebrows and eyelashes. It'd also help to keep a retouching makeup kit of essentials handy with a lipstick, blotting sheets etc.

6. Candid moments

Candid photography has become an essential part of wedding photography.  To have the perfect candids clicked while you enjoy your wedding to the fullest is by hiring the best photographer possible. The only way to facilitate good candids is by not stressing out and enjoying your moment, with your loved ones.  Rest of the role will be played by your outfit, decor, props etc.

7. A pre-wedding shoot

A pre-wedding shoot can prove to be an excellent ice-breaker between your spouse, the photographer as well as with the camera. Working together before the big event lets the photography team understand their client and their preferences well. Hence, they're prepped enough to deliver the expected shots. Look for some quirky pre-wedding shoot ideas that you can try with your spouse and make it fun for both of you.

8. Learn to be long and lean

You'd be lying if you said you don't want to appear taller and slimmer in your wedding pictures. Here is your cheat sheet to look beautiful:

  1. Keep your upper body facing the camera while twisting your lower body slightly.
  2. Whichever leg is closest to the camera should remain soft and a few inches forward of the leg furthest from the camera.
  3. The back leg should bear most of your weight.

9. Avoid the double chin

Double chin doesn't spare anyone if the postures and angles are not correct. Yes, even slimmest of girls tend to face this issue. To avoid it, make your neck looks longer by moving your head slightly forward and lifting your chin up. Also, try touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth right behind your front teeth for a sleeker jawline. Just make sure you don't look awkward doing it.

10. Enjoy the moment
