New brides are gifting their hubbies-to-be with something extra special. Remember Calendar Girls? Well, brides in the UK are stripping down en masse and posing as part of a new wedding craze.
Brides Unveiled offers a professional photography service for women wanting to present some saucy images to their "lucky lads on their wedding night."
While some fiancees opt for skimpy white lingerie and bridal veils, others bare all in a tasteful nude shoot – or, cliche as it sounds, hop on a motorbike.
Founder of the Somerset business, 27-year-old Jodie Howe says her photographs are so in demand, she estimates 'shooting' over 100 brides every year.
"The girls who come in usually are very shy and nervous," says Howe. "Sometimes they come out in rashes because they are so tense but we talk to them and calm them down."
Linsey Blenkinsop, 31, was so pleased with the results of her strip tease, the photos now adorn the couple's spare room.
"I looked like something out of a magazine," said Blenkinsop. "I felt a million dollars and that's how you should feel before you get married."
So many of us are hotter than we think when we're young and insecure. And while it would be wonderful to have a sexy memento of that period in your life, I'm not sure about hanging the photos in a spare room when the in-laws come to visit!
Would you grin and bare all for your hubby-to-be?
