Cheeky-yet-chic

Step aside oversized glasses and paper mustaches. Jessica D’Argenio Waller
of MAKETRIBE shares nine prop ideas to up the style of your snaps.

  • Flower crowns and vine garlands: drape yourself in greenery.
  • Tie-on lace masks: a little mystery never hurt anyone.
  • A slew of costume jewelry: pearls bring the party!
  • Polaroid cameras: so very meta.
  • An armful of ukuleles: make your own album cover.
  • Mylar balloons spelling L-O-V-E: classic and oh-so-cute.
  • A cache of vintage movie-star sunglasses: time for your cameo.
  • Mini superlative chalkboard signs: “Best Dressed” and “Best Hair”? Yep.
  • Bow ties on a stick: great for babies, puppies, and swag-seekers alike.
