How to Nail the Perfect Dip Kiss on Your Wedding Day

You’ve seen it a hundred times, that effortless, romantic dip kiss that looks straight out of a movie. The good news? You can absolutely pull it off too (without dropping your partner… ideally).

First things first: practice! You don’t need a full daily rehearsal, but knowing where to place your hands and how far to dip makes all the difference.

The classic setup. One hand supporting the back, the other holding the leg for support (and some added style points)….

Timing is everything. Whether it’s at the end of the aisle, during your confetti moment, or on the dance floor, pick a moment where there’s space, light, and your photographer is ready.

Go gentle, not dramatic. This isn’t a stunt. A small, confident dip looks way more natural (and way less risky in wedding attire).

And finally—have fun with it. Laugh if it wobbles, own the moment, and don’t overthink it. The best dip kisses aren’t perfect, they’re full of energy, personality, and just the right amount of chaos.

You’ve got this!

Pro tip - Set up a phone to film yourself. Position it in front of you as if you’re walking towards it so that it has the same view that your photographer would have. This will help you dial in the position so just the top of your head isn’t being photographed. Practice = confidence when it’s show time.
