Preparing for engagement photos

I'm excited about getting our engagement photos done! My beautiful Laura is doing them for us. I must share some of her photography but first I want to share a few dress pictures.

I bought this dress for our actual engagement party which will be in September. It's really pretty in real life, a sort of gold tone. I bought it from Forever New. A favourite shop.

Now at our engagement shoot I will most likely be wearing a black dress, but I'm not sure which one to wear. For one it's the middle of winter here not that it gets that cold. Here are some photos. They're not that great due to lighting not sure how to take the photos.

I bought this dress awhile ago but still haven't worn it. I always seem to fall back on black dresses (hence why I bought a gold one for our engagement to break out for the black and white mold).

This was taken last year. I have trouble posing sometimes so I end looking a bit awkward. So this is the other black dress for my second choice.

One is little bit dressy whilst the other is bit more casual I guess. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Anyway, I also just have to share some of lovely Laura's photos. I've taken these from her Facebook (sorry hun!).

Just two of the engagement photos she took for Elise and Dan, some friends of ours. There are more but I didn't want to take too many.

I just had to add this photo in. Laura took this at my 22nd birthday. I know I'm wearing fairy wings but it was part of the theme =)

So we have a busy weekend ahead of us. Dinner with friends tonight, engagement photos tomorrow with a picnic afterwards or before the photos. Hope you all have wonderful weekends!

Rose and Ruby

I'm a huge fan of the Rose and Ruby site. The dresses and clothes are sweet, feminine and romantic. Their clothes bring me a lot of inspiration for the wedding, especially bridesmaid dresses. I haven't actually bought a wedding dress yet but very sure of the dress I want. So I'm moving on to thinking about what type of dresses I would like my bridesmaids to wear.

The dresses from this wedding are Rose and Ruby dresses and I'm really loving the mismatched bridesmaid look. It's nice to have them wear a dress that suits them and most likely they will be wearing different dress styles although it will probably be the same colour.

I quite like that colour pink of the dress on the right side. It's not in the colour theme but I figured the bridesmaids can be a different colour? Maybe...

Or maybe this colour. My biggest challenge is finding a colour that will suit my bridesmaids. I like the flow of this dress too.

I'm liking these styles as well. Maybe in a darker colour. But it's part of my inspiration.

I just think this is pretty. I really do have a thing for these flowing dresses. The silk flowers are a nice touch too. 

Have a lovely week everyone!!
