A picture’s worth a thousand words and your engagement photos are the beginning of a lifetime of amazing memories! You’ve found a photographer you trust to capture the moment and you know where and when…now comes the fun part—picking the perfect outfit! Here are a few ideas to help you make your selection.
STAY TRUE TO YOUR IMPECCABLE STYLE
Are you known for wearing gorgeous, feminine flared skirts and heels à la Grace Kelly to every special occasion? Do you have a beautiful piece of jewelry that you cherish? We love starting with a signature piece and styling from there to create a fresh look that speaks to your unique style.
COORDINATE OUTFITS WITH YOUR FUTURE SPOUSE
We’re not suggesting his and her matching suits, rather, plan ahead to ensure that your looks are complimentary, i.e., make sure you don’t show up in your favorite cocktail dress while he’s wearing his favorite seersucker shorts…
HAVE YOUR WEDDING THEME IN MIND
We know you already have tons of ideas across secret boards on Pinterest! If you and your future hubby think one particular theme is the perfect one for your big day, why not give guests a preview by adding complimentary elements to your looks? If it’s a black-tie celebration with hints of metallics, bring out the theme by wearing more formal looks in your color scheme--we’re shamelessly biased but we believe every woman looks stunning in our Laura Iridescent Rose Gold Shift Dress;).
KEEP THINGS CLASSIC SO YOU’LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS TO COME
Whether you’re planning to have a traveling photo shoot with multiple stops or just one amazing location and backdrop, after your radiant smiles for each other, your outfit will be the first thing to catch everyone’s attention. Pick something with precise tailoring and a chic design so you’ll always look back on the photos and smile at your timeless style. Our Lisa Open Back Sheath, also available in Jet Black, is one of our go-to’s for that very reason.
DON’T FORGET THE FORECAST
Weather can make or break your photos! Posing under an umbrella in the event that it starts to rain will be cute and cozy, but make sure you have back up plans for hair and makeup just in case. Waterproof versions can help to keep your look fresh and flawless under any circumstances. Check the weather the day before picture day, as well as the day of so you’re camera ready regardless.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
