Wedding Wednesday: What to Wear for Your Engagement Photos

May is officially the beginning of summer wedding season and I’m thrilled to introduce part one of my Wedding Wednesday series. Yesterday I talked about 10 wedding tips I learned from planning our big day and today I’ve got some outfit inspiration of all you brides-to-be. If you’re getting married in the next few months, you’ve probably already got your wedding dress picked out, but what about all your other pre-wedding events?

We all know that the LBD gets lots of love, but today I want to talk about the LWD. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a white dress for your engagement photos. In fact, I think it’s a super cute idea to wear white for all of your pre-wedding events (might as well keep the theme going, right?).

This lace dress from Modcloth feels very romantic and whimsical to me – perfect for an afternoon engagement photo shoot! I especially love the flutter sleeves and the subtle heart pattern. I added a distressed denim vest and bright blue espadrilles for a little bit of colour and variety in texture.

Denim vests are fun and trendy pieces but they might not be everyone's kind of style. Personally when it came time to take our photos, I chose to go for a more simple and classic look and wore this same white lace dress for our engagement shoot. Want to see a peek of those pictures? :) (All of the photos below are courtesy of Dave and Charlotte Photography.)









See you next week for part two of my Wedding Wednesday series - another outfit post with suggestions about what to wear for your wedding shower!
