Pack Some Traditional Outfits

Salwaar Kurta, Anarkali, Saree, Patiala Suit, are some outfits you should definitely pack for your pre-wedding shoot.

Salwar Kurta

Nothing says 'traditional' more than the humble salwaar kurta. Depending on your built, choose the right colours and patterns. If you have a video pre-wedding shoot, avoid picking suits that have intricate patterns as they might look unclear in the video and take away from the beauty of your outfit. Pick block, bright colours which enhance your complexion in both pictures and videos.

Anarkali Suit

Anarkali is a must-have in your pre-wedding bag. They look beautiful especially for shots where you twirl or shoot in a traditional background. If you are shorter in height, avoid wearing an anarkali as it will make you look shorter in videos and pictures. Make sure you don't pick anything shimmery as it will reflect back on the camera and spoil your video and photos.
