What To Wear
Classic white Christmas (neutral backdrop)
Think soft, earthy tones: creams, tans, soft browns, dusty pinks, and muted sage or oatmeal. Textured knits, cosy cardigans, flowy dresses, and chunky jumpers all photograph beautifully against the wooden props. Keep everyone in the same colour family so the look feels calm and cohesive.
Red velvet and Christmas tree
This is the one to dress up for! Go for sparkly or sequinned Christmas outfits, velvet, satin, or a bold solid colour. Deep greens, forest green, gold, black, and cream all pop against the red. Avoid reds that match the velvet, as you'll disappear into the backdrop. Metallic accessories, bow ties, and festive hair bows are a lovely touch.
Simple red or navy paper backdrop
Keep it simple so the festive props and expressions shine. For the red backdrop, choose a solid colour that contrasts, such as cream, grey, green, or navy. For the navy backdrop, lighter shades like cream, blush, soft pink, and mustard stand out well. Plain, solid pieces work best, with Christmas pyjamas or a cosy knit if you want something playful.
