What to wear for e-pics? PIP

baileyleev

I am kind of lost as what to wear for our engagement photos next month. I know it should be our style. But what do you guys think?
Below are the dresses I have been debating between, but I worry they are too dressy. help! haha. (I also worry the printed dress is too busy to photograph well)

Solids tend to be a better option for pictures so with that I like the orange dress best.

I would go with the solid dress.  And engagement pics can be as dressy or casual as you want (mine were casual), so don't worry about being too dressy.

I actually really love the printed dress. What is FI wearing? I think the other dresses are dressy but depending on what he is wearing they won't look to dressy.

I was told by my photographer to try to avoid white. She said the lighter the color the more washed out you might look.

For the engagement pictures, I like the orange dress. You could wear the pearl colored dress to your rehearsal dinner and the printed dress to your wedding shower.

FWIW, prints don't tend to photograph as well as solids.

Where are you having your photos done because I think that would influence my decision.  If you're doing outdoor photos, the dresses you picked might be a little too dressy (although they are very cute!)

Oh GOD, I just went through this and let me tell you it was a hellacious decision :-)

I think I like the orange dress best, but agree with Liz that depending on the location, they may be too dressy. Target, Parisian, and even H&M or Forever 21 have some nice sundresses if you need something more casual.

Good luck!
