What to Wear to Your Engagement Shoot If You're Not Into Gowns

As soon as your beau pops the question, the next step is to prepare for your road to forever—and this includes an official wedding announcement! And more often than not, it's in the form of a separately planned pre-nup shoot. But the question is: What should you wear to that?

Ladies, the answer is simple. If you're not one to follow themes, then anything goes as long as you look like the best version of yourself! If you're confident and comfortable with your outfit, then you'll breeze through your shoot without worry. Below, we give you quick and easy outfit suggestions that you can wear to your engagement shoot.

Laidback

If you live in your jeans, don't let it stop you from wearing 'em to your shoot! The trick is to dress it up with a fancier top and accessories. (Tip: You and your fiance can even both be in jeans as your unifying piece instead of opting for cheesy twinning lewks!)

Romantic

If you gravitate towards frills and florals, then choose frocks you can easily re-wear. To polish up your look, stick to one statement piece and plan the rest around it. Example, think of this floral dress as your focal piece; keep the accessories to a minimum to drive the attention towards the print.

Modern/Unconventional

There's no use wearing long gowns and heels if these do not echo your personal style. It's best to stick to your aesthetic, even if that means defying the conventional looks. Not a heel-wearing gal? Go ahead and wear your fave sneakers instead! You do you!
