A LITTLE COLOR DOES THE TRICK!

Ciao Bellas! You may notice the trend in COLOR that we've been blogging about all summer. We simply can't get enough of the bright magentas, tangerines, lime greens and aqua blues. Today's entry is no different and will show our brides-to-be and our fabulous followers how to inject a little flair into an engagement photo shoot!

This entry was inspired by classic beauty and Bella Cosa bride, Lindsay Barrett, following her engagement photo session with DC based photographer, Amy Raab.


Lindsay not only styled herself in a colorful dress (with perfectly paired accessories) but also went against the grain by selecting a print fabric. So often we see brides-to-be in solid, faint colors for their engagement shoot, too afraid that the bright color may distract or not photograph well. Lindsay's finished product is proof that this is a look every bride (or style hungry girl) should try!



Anthropologie: Backswept Dress
The coral and aqua in this vintage style dress are the perfect expressions of color and the peek-a-boo back makes for adorable photo-opps!

South Moon Under: Charlie Jade Silk Dress
The mix of purple, pink and orange unite giving this dress a Moroccan vibe.

J Crew: Caroline Dress in Ikat
The colors in this fabric are simple and elegant; style your guy in a light green or baby blue shirt - these colors against one another are bright and playful.

South Moon Under: Walter Warrior Stripe Tank Dress
This dress would be perfect for a 4th of July Wedding Save the Date!
  
Anthropologie: Hyacinth Afternoon Shift Dress
The pastels in this fabric are warm and soft. Keep your accessories light and your hair tousled to maintain a youthful look.

Anthropologie: Lila Frock
The dafodil skirt is bright and fun; and by adding brown boots, this dress can easily be transitioned into the fall.
