Our Favorite Accessories for a Boudoir Photoshoot
A boudoir photoshoot with Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville, TN, offers a unique opportunity to celebrate your sensuality and capture breathtakingly beautiful moments. To enhance your overall look, carefully chosen accessories can make all the difference. From delicate jewelry to thigh high stockings, the right accessories can elevate your boudoir session to new heights. In this blog, we'll discuss some of our favorite accessories that will complement your beauty and add an extra personal touch to your photoshoot with Holly Douglas & Co.
Delicate Jewelry
Jewelry can be a powerful tool to enhance and personalize your boudoir photos. However, we strongly recommend following the rule of "less is more" when it comes to choosing jewelry for your boudoir session. Choose pieces that align with your personal style and the mood you want to create, but try to avoid large, bold pieces that will be distracting. Here are some suggestions:
Dainty Necklaces: A dainty necklace can draw attention to your collarbone and décolletage. Opt for simple chains with subtle pendants or consider layering multiple necklaces for a boho-chic vibe.
Delicate Earrings: Earrings can add a touch of sparkle to your boudoir photos. However, because many boudoir poses involve lying down or tilting the head, larger statement earrings (such as chandelier earrings or large hoops) can end up looking strange in your boudoir photos if they are swinging or hanging at a strange angle. Therefore, we always suggest opting for simple stud earrings for boudoir photos.
Bracelets: Again, less is more when it comes to wearing a bracelet for your boudoir session. A simple tennis bracelet can add a touch of elegance to your photos, as opposed to a distracting stack of bangles or a combination of bracelets.
Rings: Whether it's a simple band or a dazzling diamond, rings can add a touch of sophistication and draw attention to your beautifully manicured fingers. Large cocktail rings, however, or costume jewelry are not recommended.
Body Jewelry: One of the newer accessory trends for boudoir photography, which we personally love, is body jewelry, such as a delicate chain harness. This edgy style of jewelry looks especially tantalizing when photographed against bare skin during a set of nude or semi-nude boudoir photos.
A Simple Sheet or Blanket
Incorporating a simple sheet or blanket into your boudoir session can add an alluring element. These versatile accessories can create movement, add a sense of mystery, and evoke a feeling of sensuality.
If you are a little more on the modest side and not interested in posing completely nude for your boudoir photos, but you still want to push the envelope a little, posing with a sheet or blanket is an excellent option because the sheet or blanket can actually cover more of your body than a piece of lingerie would. However, because we make it obvious that you are nude underneath the fabric by keeping certain body parts exposed (like your arms, shoulders, legs, and maybe even a little cleavage), it is the implied nudity that makes these photos so sexy and daring!
On the other hand, if you are not modest at all and actually want to have a set of tastefully nude photographs taken, you can still pose with a sheet or blanket without being covered up at all! You could be dragging a blanket behind you as you walk nude across the room, for example. Or, you could be lying in the bed completely exposed, but with just a little bit of the bedsheet draped across your thighs. Ooh la la!
The possibilities for incorporating a sheet or blanket into your boudoir photos are practically endless!
A Jacket or Blazer
Adding a jacket or blazer to your boudoir wardrobe can really elevate the overall look. For example, wearing a blazer with a garter and stockings can add an extra element of dominance and seduction. You can also really show off your personal style by adding one of your favorite jackets (or your partner’s favorite jacket) to your boudoir wardrobe.
Seductive Stockings
Stockings are a classic boudoir accessory that can add allure and elegance to your photos. Choose from various styles such as sheer, patterned, or fishnet stockings to suit your preferences. Pair them with garters for an extra touch of glam and seductiveness, or wear them alone for an edgier, more provocative look!
Luxurious Robes and Kimonos
Robes and kimonos are not only comfortable to wear but can also create an enchanting visual impact. Choose robes or kimono-style wraps made from luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, or lace. Opt for styles with intricate detailing, such as lace trim or embroidered patterns, to add a touch of elegance and femininity. These pieces can be draped over your shoulders or used as a prop to create beautiful, flowing lines in your photographs.
