What to Wear for Engagement Photos

Choosing outfits for engagement photos requires thought. Consider the location — a formal gown looks out of place in a forest; jeans look odd in a ballroom. Coordinate, do not match: choose a color palette of three to four colors and have each person wear different shades. Avoid neon colors and busy patterns. Wear textures: lace, velvet, denim, and knits add visual interest. Accessorize with hats, scarves, jewelry, and belts. Consider bringing a change of clothes for variety. Dress for the weather and wear shoes you can walk in. The most important rule: wear something that makes you feel confident.
