If you’re planning a surprise proposal, you’ve probably thought through every detail to make the moment perfect. But have you considered how your outfits will look in the photos? Coordinating outfits is key to ensuring your proposal photos are not only memorable but visually stunning too. At Kate Buckles Photography, we’ve got some helpful tips to ensure you’re both picture-perfect when you pop the question!
1. Keep It Simple and Complementary
Since this is a surprise, it’s important to find a way to subtly guide your partner toward an outfit that will photograph well without giving anything away! Try suggesting a casual day out that calls for something nice, but comfortable. Avoid overly loud patterns or clashing colors—neutral tones, soft pastels, or earthy shades always photograph beautifully, especially in outdoor settings.
2. Dress for the Location
Consider where you’re proposing and what type of photos you envision. If you’re planning an outdoor proposal, opt for outfits that complement the surroundings. For example, if you’re proposing in a park or near the mountains, muted, earthy tones will blend beautifully with the natural backdrop. For a city proposal, sleek, chic outfits will stand out against an urban environment.
3. Plan Ahead for Both of You
While you want to keep the proposal a surprise, you’ll still need to make sure both your outfits work together. Choose something for yourself that not only looks great but also complements what your partner is likely to wear. If you’re encouraging them to wear something dressier, make sure your outfit matches the level of formality—after all, you don’t want to be underdressed in your special moment!
4. Avoid Overly Trendy or Busy Patterns
While it’s important to look stylish, try to avoid clothes that are too trendy or have overly busy patterns. The focus should be on the moment, your emotions, and the love you’re celebrating. Solid colors or simple, subtle prints will allow the emotions of the proposal to shine through in the photos without distractions.
5. Bring a Change of Clothes for Engagement Photos
If you want a few formal engagement shots after the proposal, consider packing a change of clothes for both of you. Once the proposal is done and the initial excitement has settled, you can both change into something a bit more polished for a mini engagement shoot.
