Curate // White Dresses for Wedding Photoshoots

Planning a wedding makes me dizzy with excitement. In February, I bought my dream gown that will be kept a secret because the 'first look' matters so much to me. And because of that, we will not be able to have a pre-wedding photoshoot with my wedding gown. *celebrates!*

In all honesty, I am not a fan of photoshoots. I am absolutely terrible in front of the camera and the camera certainly does not love me. I cannot imagine myself standing on top of rocks, decked out in full bridal gear and looking out to the horizons...

But, what is a wedding without photographs? Eventually, my fiancé and I compromised and agreed on a casual low-key engagement photoshoot. And that means I get to shop for new white dresses that will suit our 'casual and low-key' theme! 

The dresses that I have curated below are sooooooo beautiful, I am having a hard time deciding which to get...

1 // Sarah Seven (2016) Lourdes 
What I love about this piece from the Sarah Seven's 2016 bridal collection is its plunging neckline and soft flowing skirt. It is absolutely perfect for a beach photoshoot/wedding. Imagine the skirt flowing ever so gently against the breeze. This design is simple and chic, yet deceivingly flirty. Love it!

2 // Nasty Gal Spill the Tea Lace Dress
​How cute is this dress! This Nasty Gal white lace dress spells fun with its pom pom fringe and sheer micromesh throughout the dress. It has such a flattering a-line cut that it will suit almost any body type. Say yes to this dress!

3 // Jarlo Juliet Midi Prom Dress In Sateen With Mesh Inserts
I fell for this dress simply because of how dainty and classy it looks. Although I am not a huge fan of mesh, I love how the mesh at the side adds a little fun and peek-a-boo to the overall look. This dress also features a sexy v-neckline at the front and back. 

4 // Ms Selfridge White Mixed Lace Dress
I like this dress for its versatility and would pair it with a leather jacket for a girls night out. The different types of lace sure adds to the charm of this dress. 

5 // Zimmermann Belle Bustier Dress
I chanced upon this dress on Anthropologie's website and it was love at first sight. The breezy and flowy fabric paired with dainty prints and asymmetrical hemline makes it such a perfect dress for a garden party or picnic. Love how dreamy it is!

6 // C/MEO Collective Making Waves Dress
The Making Waves Dress is a modern design that exudes elegance and simplicity. I especially like how the full skirt, curved hemline, and heavy-weight textured fabric adds a touch of fun and girliness to the look. 

7 // Lipsy Rare Mesh Plunge Dress
This plunging neckline and sheer flowy dress is such a daring yet classic sleek look. I can imagine this dress on a bride who is standing in the heart of a cosmopolitan city, staring intently into the eyes of her lover. What a show-stopping dress!

8 // BHLDN Soren Dress
BHLDN is Anthropologie's wedding line and it means 'beholden' (minus the vowels) and the Dutch meaning of it is 'to keep'. This dress has such a subtle feminine and free spirited charm that is really reflective of the brand. I will definitely choose this dress if I were to have a woodland-themed photoshoot. Hmmm... What do you think?

That's not the end! I just had to feature one more dress... This Chi Chi London Premium Lace Midi Dress (featured in the header image) is such a romantic choice with its gorgeous back details.
