Engagement Pics Planning

In just a few short weeks Alex and I are headed Eastward to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. While we're back there we figured we might as well get some wedding stuff done, since we're already making the trip. I'm excited to tour the venue with him (since my mama was with me when we chose), but we are also taking our engagement pics, so I've been on the lookout for different styles, settings, poses (yes, i'm a weird!), and most of all outfits that I like. I want them to be classic (since we're going to have them forever).

Yesterday, I finally stumbled upon a dress that is very close to what I imagined, so I decided to purchase it! I'm thinking we'll have two outfits (or maybe just me...not sure how A feels about wardrobe changes!). This dress will serve as the more "fancy" one, and then I'm still on the lookout for a more casual one.

Of course some of these pieces are way out of my price range, but that's why they are "inspiration!"

I need to find a good statement necklace for the navy dress, but I love the classic feel and the simplicity it has (with the fun back). For the "casual" outfit, I'm thinking something like a button down blouse with a necklace and cute skinnys.

If anyone knows of good shops/sites that have affordable pieces within this realm, send them my way!

  1. I love that dress, so cute!! I wore two different dresses for our e-pics and looking back, I wish I had been more casual in jeans with one of my outfits. There are only so many ways you can pose in a dress, so I definitely like your idea of wearing a blouse with pants!

  2. I had the hardest time choosing outfits, hence why we had 4! ha. I steered away from flowy and bulkiness. Piperlime had some great options that were affordable!!

  3. I had two outfit changes and I am glad I did. I even switched out Finn's leash and collar to match our clothing! :)

  4. Cute outfit choices! You could always wear a tassel necklace with the navy dress. Or a short collar necklace would look cute too! Decisions, decisions! Either way I'm sure the pictures will turn out great!

  5. I love the colors! I always lean toward the cool tones too. The dress looks great on it's own if your worried about it being too plain you could pair it with a fancy stud earring.
