Bride's giant balloon bouquet nearly sends her flying during windy-day photoshoot

A bride-to-be in Istanbul had a wedding photoshoot turn into a frightening ordeal when strong winds nearly swept her off her feet, with the giant balloons she was holding threatening to lift her into the air.

The woman was posing for photographs near the Bosphorus Strait while holding a bouquet of oversized beige balloons to complete the look.

However, powerful gusts soon began tugging at the decorations, as she found it difficult to remain steady, New York Post reports, citing Jam Press.

Things took a dramatic turn when a sudden gust caught the balloons and dragged the bride towards a seawall nearby. She appeared close to being lifted off the ground before the photographer quickly grabbed her, stopping her from crashing into a building. stanbul Boaz kenarnda, elindeki ok sayda dekoratif balonun etkisiyle srklenen bir gelin, fotoraf ekimi srasnda zor anlar yaad.
