I have been dying to share these pictures from Vintage Glam Weddings.

Ok, I know those are kind of out vintage-y but aren't they beautiful!!!!
As for what you could do. This is your chance to take cool pictures that you can't on your wedding day. On your wedding day you are limited to how far you can go. But in your bridal session there is no limit. Go on a trolley, to a park, a museum, a foresty area, a field etc.
I am doing a bridal session, and I found all sorts of different places to take pictures. Are there any old homes near you, or B&Bs? Also, downtown areas of small towns usually have some neat features to include.
You can go with the traditional shots and let your photographer guide you, but I'd spend a few hours looking around on sites like WB or on photographer's blogs for inspiration, and also look for photos of weddings at your venue (if possible) to find inspiration. Then compile it all into a must-shoot list to give your photographer an idea of what you're looking for.

Carrot Cake, think about a place you LOVE..... A place which makes you happy or calms you down after a long day. Is it a coffee shop, book store, or museum? Maybe you really like the theatre/ballet or going to the movies? Pick a place which speaks to your soul and shows through the photos a part of who you are as a person.
I am taking some of my bridal photos on an old boat in the Bayou (I live in south Louisiana) at dusk. I am VERY worried about falling in the water (and then there are those little things called alligators) but when my photographer (who is also my cousin) came up with this shoot idea, I had to agree that it would be cool.
Oh, don't worry, I'm sure it will turn out fine! Being dressed up as a bride will bring about a lot of attention, but people will LOVE it. Plus, with the photographer there, people will understand what you're doing. As far as how you feel in front of the camera, I'm sure the photographer can help you relax and help guide you. It will be great practice for pictures at the wedding, too. Good luck!
Those shots from vintage glam are *beautiful*.
I love bridal portraits in places that are not where you'd imagine seeing a bride, if that makes any sense. It ends up looking so editorial and fab.
You could also do an after wedding session with you and your man. Do some fun "Trash the Dress" style portraits.

I fell silly posting this... but I am really feeling awkward about my bridal portraits!!!
Our photography package came with two days of shooting- traditionally one for engagement shots and then the wedding. Well, I decided that I didn't really want 300 pics of me and Mr. Carrot Cake leaning on a tree, so I didn't get the engagement shots... so I am using the shoot for bridal portraits. My concern is- WHAT DO I DO?!?! I mean, I think it will be sooo awkward to stand there in my dress and be like "here I am, in my dress, in my veil, with my hair done, on this random Tuesday"
Do you have any inspiration or advice? I just don't know what type of pics I should get, or really what the "goal" of it all is!!! Help!!! I would love inspiration pics if you have any!!!
