Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! More than 70% of people are married between the ages of 25 and 44, so you’re in good company when you embark on this magical journey with your loved one.
Now that you’re about to be a bride, you have a lot of planning to do, and one of the most immediate sources of stress is probably planning an engagement photo-shoot. Planning what to wear is a big part of that- these are the outfits you’re going to be looking at in pictures for years!
Here, you’ll get insight into 5 engagement photo outfits that are guaranteed to make you look your best.
1. Show Off Your Ring
One way to guarantee that you won’t regret your engagement photo-shoot is to pick an outfit that emphasizes your ring. The engagement ring your partner has given to you isn’t just a stone- it’s a symbol of the bond you and that special person share.
If your ring is gold, for example, you might want to pick a nice black or rose pink to match with it. If there is a specific color gemstone in the middle, you might want to pick a different shade of the same color.
If you and your groom or bride haven’t decided on a ring yet, that’s alright! There are all kinds of fake engagement rings you can use in the meantime. Maybe these will even get the ball rolling on finding the real one you’ll treasure forever!
2. Seasonal Engagement Photo Outfits
Another style of engagement photo-shoot that you cannot possibly go wrong with is a seasonal photo-shoot. Own the season you’re getting engaged in and dress for it. Chances are you won’t regret looking back on the details of this special day.
If it’s fall when you get engaged, consider wearing reds or oranges and taking some pictures with the leaves. A sleek ice blue will make for a beautiful winter photo-shoot. Blend in with floral colors in spring, and as for the summertime, go with bright yellows and blues.
3. Unleash Your Inner Goddess
Of course, every woman- especially brides- have an inner goddess that’s just waiting to be unleashed. Goddess braids are a great way to show off that side of yourself. They make for a regal hairstyle that circles your head like a crown.
If you do go down this route, try wearing a gold or silver dress to give off an even more queenly vibe.
4. Bursts Of Color
It’s a classic for a reason: an otherwise classy palette with a pop of color for character. Look at beautiful outfits featuring black and white articles of clothing with bright accessories.
Another great variation of this is to wear a black or white shirt with a bright skirt or vice versa. This outfit is good for all kinds of situations- seasonal photo-shoots, beach photo-shoots, and nature photo-shoots only a few among them.
5. Semi-Formal Dresses
Because you’re obviously going to have more than one outfit throughout the course of your photo-shoot, consider having one of them be more casual than the rest. This will not only give some variety to your engagement photos, but also will give you the chance to show off a more everyday side of yourself with that special someone.
