We're having our engagement shoot done this Friday at the botanical gardens, and some at the basilica across the street...and I have no idea what to wear! FI only has 2 nice shirts (one a beautiful blue -- that I picked out lol), and one black.

I'm having the hardest time finding a dress to compliment his blue shirt, and I don't have any nice pants or nice shirts for that matter since I don't wear "real" pants and 95% of the time I'm in a dress and the other 5% of the time I'm in comfy clothes such as leggings or scrubs since I'm a home health aide...I feel like I might be best off going to the thrift store tomorrow to see if I can find anything since I was thinking blue would look great with our background and black is too muted.

Opinions? The only thing I have that I think may possibly work is a white floral dress, but I'm worried it'll compete with the natural beauty of the gardens.

Help please!

The white floral with him in black comes to the forefront of my mind. It's your engagement photo. Black is a non color, so the background of botanical gardens should stand put, I'd think, plus as the future bride, you're meant to stand out from the other flowers. Plus weddings are black and white, it's an engagement photo the florals on the dress, make it appropriate, imo.

I went to the thrift store today and got the perfect outfit! A nice cream lace dress with a teal braided belt and a pair of champagne peep toe wedges. With that I'll wear my matching cream headband, and a pair of tri-toned leaf earrings.

Sounds beautiful! Hope all goes well for your photos. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage
