Your S.O. just popped the question, and you’re engaged—congrats! After you slip that ring on your finger, engagement photos are the often the first thing to plan after you’ve announced your happy news. Oftentimes, these images will also be what you use for save-the-date announcements and other events along the exciting road to saying “I do.”

So how do you decide what to wear? Our advice is to stay true to your personal style and wear something you’ll feel comfortable in. That can mean anything from a romantic flowy dress to a simple pair of jeans, depending on the kind of photos you have in mind. To help, we’ve rounded up four stunning engagement-shoot outfit ideas (and the pieces to shop for them) so you’ll end up with photos you’ll love forever.

Keep reading to see four cool engagement photo outfits for the bride-to-be, no matter what your style.

JEANS

If you tend to wear jeans every day, why not wear them in your engagement photos too? Try pairing them with a cool bustier top and satin shoes.

ROMANTIC

Are you planning a fairy-tale wedding? Have the engagement photos to match by wearing a sweeping lace dress.

SOMETHING BLUE

Your something blue doesn't need to be reserved just for your wedding day. We love this matching top and jeans.

MINIMAL
