Engagement Inspiration


Good morning my lovelies! As I've already told you, I am planning our engagement session, which is scheduled for May 29th. One month to wait.

I’m really excited about our engagement pictures and definitely can't wait to share them with all of you. In these days I started looking for inspiration, it was not hard to quickly find lots of stunning shoots and creative ideas! 


I'm so  inspired by the themes captured in these images!


Our theme will be: The Vintage Picnic.


Next weekend we have to find the perfect location for the shoot! My dilemma is: what should I wear for my engagement shoot? An engagement session should be depict your personality and your style...I'm considering some different options.

I want to thank you so much for your kind and supportive words. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to all those of you who left so lovely comments on my previous posts. Your messages warm my heart. Yesterday evening I practically burst into tears reading them to my fiancè. Thanks so much.
p.s. Don't miss a gorgeous girly giveaway tomorrow!

Buongiorno Federica,l'ambintazione del vintage pic nic è tra le mie preferite. Mi dispiace non aver commentato il tuo post di ieri ma ero sinceramente commossa e stupita: credevo tu fossi una persona diversa..Scusa ma son felice che tu non ami il tuo lavoro perchè, a dirla tutta, no c'entra molto con la sweet as a candy che conosciamo noi(confermo il commento a Zaira riguardo al piano B)...Credo fermamente che ci sia una giustizia di felicità già sulla terra (gg ne è la tua conferma)quindi auguro di riscuotere tutta gioa di cui sei debitrice!con affetto sincero,irene

Irene b said...

ops... naturalmente intendevo creditrice!

Federica - Scottish and Craft said...

Il tuo buon gusto e il tuo cuore ti porteranno a fare la scelta più "azzeccata". Il pronostico: un ambientazione semplice e chic... come te naturalmente!!!
Buoni preparativi!!!
Baci
Federica

.aspettare un meseeeee.. sarà dura!

Gorgeous pictures! I can't keep my mouth closed they are so amazing! An engagement picnic sounds so beautiful! I love the yellow gold dress! I was just going to say that the picture should show your personality and these women fit the outfits they are wearing. Show who you are and you will feel great!

Jacqueline said...

What wonderful images, Federica.
I love the one where they are sitting at the piano. and, although I'm not really a lover of balloons, I even like those ones.
I know that, whatever you do, it will be stunning, and I can't wait to see them.
.... oh, and I'm absolutely POSITIVE, that you will not have any trouble choosing something to wear !!!! XXXX

Hi Federica!
I'm so happy to find your blog! It's great!!Congratulations on your engagement! When is your big day? I'll bet you are so excited. I 'm following your blog so it will be fun to watch all the planning.
I liked reading the list of things about you. Your list is great and we seem to have a lot of similarities. I too love cookies, photography, making things, can't stand being bored, am a perfectionist, lost my father and miss him everyday...and Love Hugh Jackman!! :)
If you get a chance come over to my blog and check it out, it would be great to have you visit:)
I hope you are having a wonderful day!
XoXo
Gail

Hello Federica, I found your blog about 3 months ago and I love it. I look forward to everyday. I think anything you choose for your engagement party wil be stunning, and I think you should pick something that you feel gorgeous in. Those little black shoes in the 1st picture wouldn't hurt either. Enjoy your day, A fellow shoe lover. Beverley

These photo's are phenomenal! Great inspiration pix!

Lynda @ Happenstance Home said...

All of the images you have shown are over the top lovely. I cannot wait to see what you choose for your photo's. I like all the thought that was put into the above photos.

monikaki said...

Ho amato il tuo post di ieri e quello di oggi...sono certa che la tua scelta sarà quella giusta..perchè sarà la tua! Il menu' di un pic nic vintage secondo me dovrebbe rigorosamente prevedere bibite in bottigliette di vetro come le bibite abbondio che fanno da qs parti (www.abbondio.it), tramezzini avvolti in carta straccia, torte e quiche salate lasciate nella teglia di alluminio e avvolti in canovacci da cucina magari in lino...che ne dici? Mi sono allargata troppo...scusa! Saluti cari, Monica

I love these "out in the field" kind of photos too...and that yellow & pink dress that one woman is wearing is amazing! love it. :)

Kristin said...

Love the balloons and buttons. Both shoots look just fabulous!

Laura said...

These shots are retro, beautiful and with a great use of light. And your taking them on our actual wedding day :) My advice, as someone who just took engagement pics in March, is to collaborate with your photographer. I saw the top of the Golden Gate Bridge and we took the most amazing non-cheesy shot. Congrats sweetie!

Brenda@Cozy Little House said...

Honey, I'm telling you here from Texas that you will be beautiful and radiant regardless of what you choose to wear! I'm so glad the old type photos are out and trendy casual ones are in. So love these "more natural" images!

Un mese passa presto, ma son sicura che troverai l'abito perfetto, il luogo perfetto e il fotografo perfetto!! L'uomo perfetto lo hai già trovato, soprattutto se ha scelto di fare questo servizio fotografico... il mio uomo a stento ha tollerato quello del matrimonio >:(
Sei dolcissima e ti auguro davvero con tutto il cuore di essere felice e di realizzare tutti i tuoi sogni!
Un abbraccio!
PS:Anche se non riesco a commentare spesso, ti leggo sempre... e sei pericolosa, mi fai venir voglia di risposarmi, cambiare arredamento e guardaroba ogni giorno!! ;D

Che dolci foto, proprio come sei tu! Per un attimo ho creduto di vedere ed il tuo futuro maritino! ;)
