A wonderful wedding dress is a fantasy for many little girls—even after she becomes an adult and is unmarried. In the Unites States, we usually don’t wear our most adorable wedding gown when not in our weddings, but it is sort of a tradition for Chinese to-be-brides to wear a few outfits of wedding gowns with her to-be-husband for a wedding dress shooting before their wedding ceremonies.
Many to-husband-and-wife in China would choose to do so simply as a way to generate a beautiful memory. Of course, not each couple-to-be follows the tradition—it is widely accepted, but not enforced. At present, many foreign visitors to China are also appealed to have a special wedding dress shoot there as a way to memorize their wedding. If you visit the major scenic places like by the lakes, for example, of Wuxi, you may witness a wedding gown outdoor shooting for either Chinese or foreign couples.
Normally, wedding gown album shooting agencies provide wedding dress album shooting packages consisting of doing fittings, make-up, hair fixing, choosing outfits and of course, photo shooting. Western-styled wedding gowns are a must almost for almost every wedding dress album shoot. Varied from different costs and the shooting packages you choose, there are different packages of wedding gowns to choose from. Most are Western-styled, but costumes in other styles like minority costumes and traditional Chinese Cheongsam are also popular in wedding gowns album shoots.
Likewise, to meet with different settings and wedding costumes, service staff from wedding gown shooting agencies may make various hair styles and make-ups for the couples-to-be. Usually, there are several service staff fussing around you to help you fix hair styles, make up, select wedding dresses, and fit the shooting settings and your poses. Besides, a wedding dress shoot normally consists of indoor shoots and outdoor shoots, taking at least an entire day to complete the shooting. Though it may be a little too tiresome, you can have a lot of fun with it!
Wedding gown album shooting is pervasive in China for several reasons. As far as I am concerned, 3 principal reasons may explain the popularity of the tradition. First, many Chinese young people regard Western-style wedding costumes as more fashion and more romantic apparel for the beautiful moment. And couples hope to create the beautiful memory with exquisite and interesting wedding dress album. It is happy to turn over the album to reflect on the lovely days of their love! Second, taking a wedding dress shoot is a means to spread the joy of the new couples among their families and relatives.
New couples, especially new brides, love to present their wedding dress albums to people whom they are willing to share with their gaiety. Third, as the world’s most influential apparel manufacturing base, wedding gowns which come in various levels of fabrics and styles enjoy a very remarkable pricing. They are affordable even for low-paid people in China. In addition, prices on wedding dress album shooting services have various options according to the different levels of packages you opt for. On the average, a wedding dress album shooting costs you from about 1,000 RMB to more than 10,000 RMB.
