Ready to add something bold, beautiful, and wildly creative to your next shoot?
Whether you’re a bride chasing the perfect wedding portrait backdrop or a photographer aiming to uplevel your portfolio, these six unique props will turn heads. Each one has already been styled with love by renters from my boho dress collection — so think of this as your jumpstart to inspired shoots.
Igloos and Domes
Craving an Alaska- or Norway-inspired vibe? No passport required.
Clear igloos and domes are popping up across the U.S. Most often, they’re used as chic outdoor dining spaces. However, many restaurants will rent them during off-peak hours. So, just ask!
They create magical winter vibes, offering a unique, snow globe-like setting for your shoot.
This dreamy setup in the woods of Western Massachusetts featured our Andres gown, styled with boho flair and photographed by Lindsay Burgess Photography
Vintage Wooden Doors
Nothing adds rustic charm like vintage wooden doors.
The weathered texture brings soul, depth, and Wild West energy to your shoot. Don’t own any? No problem.
Visit antique or salvage shops and offer a photo trade. The chipped paint and timeworn wood are pure gold for styled shoots.
This Oklahoma shoot nailed the Western mood with a pair of vintage doors and our Phoenix gown, captured by Makayla Kay Photo.
A Vintage Car
Few props make a statement like a vintage car.
Lean against a retro convertible or pose rooftop with a city skyline. Either way, you’ll capture timeless magic.

A retro camper
Retro campers offer a nostalgic twist that’s hard to resist.
Think of decked-out vans, old-school RVs, and funky campers. They’re perfect for couple portraits, styled shoots, and retreats.

A beach pier
There’s nothing like a beach pier to bring drama and structure to your shoot.
Piers offer built-in shade, cinematic lines, and endless-summer nostalgia. Skip the flat beach light—go straight for the pier.
Kaitlin Noel Co. styled this stunning shoot on the pier in Cape May, New Jersey, using the Elsa dress to channel full beach goddess energy.
There’s something undeniably iconic about a VW bug. Whether it’s parked in the woods, rolling along a coastal road, or styled in a vintage setup, it brings instant charm. Don’t overlook what a little color and character can do for your final images.
A Classic VW Bug
Iconic. Playful. Insta-worthy.
VW bugs work magic in almost any setting. Whether it’s rolling through the woods or parked on a scenic road, it’s a win.
Use color and charm to elevate your photos with zero effort.
