White dress for engagement pics?

I wanted to do this but i didnt think of it until after i bought a new dress for the pictures. I did wear a white sweater. I had to incorporate white somehow. I don't think theres anything wrong with it.

I'm not a fan of white for pre-wedding events. In my opinion, it takes away from seeing the bride in a white dress on the wedding day.

I wore white. Our colors were shades of blue and it was white with blue. My husband had a blue shirt to match.

I’ll probably wear a navy blue floral dress for formal pictures and a hockey jersey for our more laid back ones (FH is a HUGE St Louis Blues fan and we got engaged the same week they won the Stanley Cup), so I won’t be wearing white, but if you wanted to I see nothing wrong! You are the bride!

I did. I rented a white lace dress from Rent the Runway and it turned out awesome (that I saw from my preview pics, anxiously waiting on all the pictures to come back)

I think engagement pictures should capture the couple in their true form. So you should wear your favorite color and style that you would normally be drawn to. You’ll have enough formal pictures in white (or some shade of) from your wedding, so have fun with the engagement photos. I wore a dark teal dress which totally fits my personality.

Personally I am not wearing white for our engagement pictures! I picture my engagement pictures next to my wedding pictures and that’s just a whole lot of white lol. I’m going to wear a floral dress instead!

I think that there are going to be other times to wear white like your shower or bachelorette party so I would choose a color that you love for these pictures. And maybe 2 outfits with one being something causal that shows you and your FH and then maybe one dressy.

I don't think so. I feel like it takes away from you being in white on your wedding day (depending on how fancy you're going). If its a short white cocktail dress, I think it's fine. I chose to wear a long red tulle dress for my engagement photos!

I would also bring a dress with color if you get to have an outfit change.

It doesn’t matter, my fiancé and I chose colors in the same family and it came out great.

I have had friends who did a white dress and some who did a colored dress. I did a white romper with yellow flowers

You can do what you want. To me, how special a white wedding dress is ( to someone who wears one) is somewhat diluted by wearing white at other wedding parties. One of my sister's in law has pictures framed and displayed. In a long white dress ( engagement party), in a white dress (1 shower) and a white jumpsuit ( shower 2) , in a white summer suit ( last day at work shower) and dinners at her bachelorette and rehearsal wearing other long white dresses. Sadly, white is not a good color on her natural complexion, so she wears a heavy masque of make-up in all of them. And not much like herself. The invasion of the woman in white is boring. It always seems like a bad joke to me when someone celebrates such a great time in their life with neutral, colorless fashion choices.

That's common ! I don't really think it matters though. Some people go with themed matching outfits. Some go with what they just feel like wearing.

I wore white for mine, with a scarf for a pop of color. My photographer literally thanked me when he saw me in it. But it is also something that I bought because I knew I would wear it again.

The base of my dress is white but in my pics you can't tell it. I dont think it matters all that much. Its one of those things where "You do you" applies.

We just did a shoot this weekend and it was cold, so we knew we wanted to be cozy. I ended up wearing a sweater, jeans, and booties, and he ended up wearing a flannel, jeans, and boots.

I was throwing around the idea of doing a more formal look, but I just wanted something that was more natural and more “us.”

If it’s going to be in January and outside, consider if there will be snow on the ground. If that’s the case I wouldn’t wear white; it doesn’t contrast enough with the background.

It is honestly whatever YOU want! We did two sets of pictures (one we were gifted with) and I wore white to one and then a mustard yellowish summer dress to the other and I love both sets of pictures. I would say, look for an outfit you love and if it is white, thats a plus!

I wore a white dress with colorful florals on it!

Feel free to wear any color you'd like! I wore blue for my engagement photos. Definitely doesn't have to be white
