White dress for engagement pics?

I don't think there's a hard rule on this! I look best in bold colors. I'm wearing a mustard-y yellow velvet dress with big red roses in the pattern, my 6 year old daughter is wearing a long sleeve red maxi dress, and FH is wearing a dark grey sweater with black jeans and brown dress shoes/boots.

I wore a white dress! I totally will for my shower/bach party as well if I get either of those. This period in your life is so short, I say rock it and wear white every two seconds if you so choose.

Are your pics gonna be outside in the snow? Because that might be too much white. What about a nice solid colored dress? Burgundy? Maroon? Olive green? Deep blue?

I think it's a wonderful idea!

I wore a white lace top in mine just to give a little "bridal" flare. I think something to keep you warm - like a cute white sweater, or perhaps one of your wedding colors with a white scarf - could look cute while also being comfortable! Or, you could do a more formal thing with a white dress that you could then wear to a bridal shower or your rehearsal dinner. It's really whatever vibe you're going for. There's no right or wrong way to do it!

I wore a purple dress as I did not want to wear a white dress before my wedding day. I personally feel like it takes away from the look of the bride ion the day if she has already been in photos in a white dress. I'm not even wearing a white dress/jumpsuit for my bridal shower/rehearsal. I do plan to wear a dress/jumpsuit that is white with some kind of design so that it isn't a primarily white outfit. Again, this is just my personal preference though

I think you can wear whatever you want. Engagement photos can be a great opportunity to wear a white dress that is different from your bridal look, but if you don't want to buy a new dress specifically for your engagement photos or want to buy a dress you'll be able to rewear again (I personally don't get to get dressed up for non-wedding events often at all so a white dress would be very limited in my wardrobe), then go with another color instead.

Do whatever you want! If you find a white dress you like, go for it.

We did three different outfits for our engagement photos - one I had a white dress, another we did hockey jersey, and another we just dressed like we normally would (he was in jeans and a button up, me in jean and a nice blouse).

Here's a shot with the white dress:

I don't think it matters. Whatever you want is fine!

I actually wore yellow and my fiancé wore blue. We got a lot of compliments! Just wear what you want to wear. I know lots of people that didn’t wear white for their photos as well. Good luck and Congrats!

View Quoted Comment Love your pic and your clothes are terrific, eye catching contrast in style and blid color. Great choice!

View Quoted Comment @Judith Thank you very much ☺️

Honestly, do whatever you want!

I personally wanted to wear at least one of our wedding colors in our engagement photos since I won't get to at the wedding and I thought it'd be nice for save-the-dates. I also wanted to feel like myself, and I don't wear white very often.

One of my friends wore a white romper/dress for hers and it looked super pretty!

I have gone back and forth on this myself, we had engagements pictures taken when we actually got engaged which was a surprise so I wasn’t wearing anything too special. But we may also pick a photographer who does engagement photos and then I’ll actually have to choose haha so I’ve been thinking about this a lot

I don't plan on wearing a white dress for engagement photos since I'll be in a white dress for all of our wedding photos!

I deff don’t think color choice matters! I personally did white, but I happen to find a dressed I loved that was white. It’s something I would have bought and worn regardless of our photos!

Absolutely! Wear whatever you want and I personally think white would be beautiful!

I wore a white romper that I ordered off of amazon. It went with my theme since I'm a western-y type of girl and it looked good with my boots. I had two horses to get ready for pictures so I pinned the bottom up while I finished getting them ready. Lol

I’d say wear any color you’d like! My fiancé and I got our pictures done this summer and I originally wanted to wear white but couldn’t find a dress I loved. I ended up wearing a slate blue color and had my fiancé wear another shade of blue, and the colors looked beautiful with the beach! Wear whatever you feel best in 😊

It does not matter if it is white or not. Wear a dress you feel beautiful in.
