5 Tips for Choosing Your Engagement Session Wardrobe
Imagine, you’ve finally booked your dream photographer for your engagement session. You’ve built your mood board, scheduled a location, and now all that’s left to do is figure out what you’re going to wear. You look into your closet and ask “What Should We Wear?” and all of a sudden, the decision paralysis sets in. We’ve all been there. That “I have nothing to wear” dread is SO REAL, and we’re here to walk you through what to consider when making those wardrobe decisions that best suit YOU! (no pun intended).
1.CHECK THE VIBE. We always suggest two outfits for our couples— one casual and one formal. For your formal attire, think a gown and suit, and for the casual, think date night at your favorite sushi spot. Try to align your wardrobe with the vibe of the location. For the more feminine among us, we suggest a dress or top that cinches at the waist and really shows off your figure.
2.BE TRUE TO YOU. Let your personalities shine through your outfit choices. Your engagement session is an opportunity to capture this moment in your lives before you embark on your lives together as a married couple. Authenticity is a key component of making your engagement photos just as unique as your love story.
3.GLAM. We highly suggest doing a trial run with your Hair + Make Up artist on the same day as your engagement. Not only are you able to visualize your wedding day look, but it also puts you in full glam mode for your engagement session!
4.COLORS/PATTERNS. In any case, you’ll want to coordinate your outfits by color and style. Avoid busy patterns if at all possible. If you absolutely LOVE wearing patterns, we highly suggest limiting it to one pattern per outfit change. That means, if your fiancée just has to wear their Dan Flashes button-up, you go with a solid color.
5.KEEP IT FUN. Your best piece of wardrobe is a smile. Your number one goal of the day should be to have a great time. Try to do something relaxing before your engagement session, even if it’s just 5 minutes of deep breathing in the car. When in doubt, just go with the flow! Your photographer should have your back and be able to triage any day-of concerns.
