9 Pretty Summer Engagement Outfit Ideas
Between your engagement and the wedding date, there are a number of things to be done before you take your epic walk down the aisle, such as booking your venue, confirming the caterers, and oh yeah, finding the perfect wedding outfit. While some of those moments can err on the side of stressful, putting together summer engagement photo outfits shouldn’t have to be.
During a period of planning and anticipation, your engagement shoot can be a fun and exciting moment for you and your S.O. (and the photographer, of course). Of course, since these photos will be marking a major moment in your life, what you choose to wear is key. You want something that’ll withstand time, but you also want to embrace your personal style.
To give you some style inspiration for your upcoming shoot, we looked to some of our favorite influencers for fashion girl–approved outfits that’ll be so chic for your engagement photos. Let these outfits be your guide and put that extra energy toward planning the rest of your wedding.
A short floral dress is both playful and romantic. Style it with a pair of Mary Jane shoes for a timeless look.
This dress is so romantic.Available in sizes XS to L.
You can’t go wrong with a romantic floral maxi dress for a summer engagement shoot. Let the dress be the hero of your outfit and wear minimal heels.
A minimalist heel will be universal for any outfit.Available in sizes 4 to 11.
Is there anything more elegant than a petal pink dress? Dress it down a bit with a pair of suede round-toe shoes.
If you want to wear something on the more casual side, a baby-blue cotton dress with a chic pair of mules will keep your ensemble laid-back yet put together.
We love a good vintage-inspired look for a photo session. Marigold is a color we’re loving for the summer. Wear a silk scarf as a headband to really nail the look.
For a foolproof engagement outfit, wear a white silk camisole with a ruffled wrap skirt that’ll be teeming with summer vibes.
You can’t go wrong with a classic camisole.Available in sizes XS to L.
A pair of wide-leg trousers with a simple tank top will give a chic look for the modern bride.
Wear this alone for a night out or over a T-shirt for some extra coverage.Available in sizes XS to XL.
If your shoot is a little more formal, you can’t go wrong with a silky slip dress. Accessorize with some metal barrettes to complement the sheen of your dress.
Pare down your engagement photos and wear a simple slip.Available in sizes 34 to 42.
No matter the season, there’s also a time to wear a chic all-black look. We love a chic blouse with wide-leg trousers for a timeless ensemble.
These pants are so flattering.Available in sizes 12 to 28.
Now that you’ve got a handful of outfits to wear, you can spend the rest of the time enjoying the photo session with your spouse-to-be.
