Why Polaroid Boudoir is the Groom Gift of 2025

Let’s be honest—gift-giving for your groom can feel… predictable. Another watch? A handwritten note? Sweet, sure. But if you’re anything like me (and my brides), you want something unforgettable. Something he won’t expect, but will absolutely treasure.

That’s where Polaroid boudoir comes in.

At The Elevated Studios, we’ve seen a huge shift—brides are craving something more personal, more real, and way less filtered. Polaroid boudoir checks every box. It’s raw, nostalgic, and sexy in the most timeless way. No Photoshop. No posing to perfection. Just you, captured in light, lace, and emotion.

These aren’t just photos. They’re moments printed in real time—tangible, one-of-a-kind keepsakes that feel more like love letters than images.

And they’re flying off the shelf.

When we were at the Greek Peak bridal show recently, we had more brides stop at our table for the Polaroid boudoir than for hair and makeup. (And trust me—our glam is not easy to beat.)

The best part? We keep it effortless.

Hair, makeup, and Polaroid photography are all included. You can add it on to a bridal package, or book it as a solo experience just for the gift. We offer it in-studio or on-location—yes, even at your wedding venue, Airbnb, or hotel suite.

So if you’ve been asking yourself what to give the man who already has your heart…

Give him you—captured in a way only Polaroid can.
