We are definitely fall people, so we\u2019ve got the wedding date booked for next November\u2014cooler weather, more intimate. And we pretty much knew exactly what we wanted out of a more formal engagement photo shoot, because we are right in the heart of SoHo: Half of it would be in SoHo, early in the morning, with the lovely architecture of the buildings. Then, a dreamy garden experience\u2014more floral and whimsical. We\u2019re right next to Elizabeth Street Garden, and we have a lilac tree planted there, so it meant a lot that we did a little shoot there. We\u2019ll be dressed up for the SoHo part. I\u2019ll have a structured satin dress, and he\u2019ll be in a suit. In the garden, we\u2019ll go for something flowy and silky and lineny.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s actually so much harder than you think, trying to capture a moment in time. I love fashion and what you can show with it, but I was shopping like a madwoman. So many people get engaged and they look ready for it. They know they\u2019re getting engaged; they\u2019re in the white dress. It\u2019s nice when people are wearing something that\u2019s bride-ish but not full bridal.<\/p>\n
We have the shoot next month. Finding the outfits was tough, but finally the first dress came: a gorgeous, structured, satin cap-sleeved dress. This garden dress was so hard. How do you look effortless but also whimsical?<\/p>\n
Eventually, I spotted this striped dress from Ralph Lauren. I thought it looked so effortless, and it\u2019s vaguely bridal because it is neutral. It\u2019s a lovely dress. I really like the way it looks on me. So, I made a decision in my head. It looked the best, and because it\u2019s not fully white, it doesn\u2019t scream, This is an engagement outfit. It just felt right and nice. Literally the next day, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged.<\/p>\n
I thought I was a huge Swiftie, then I met John. He blew past me with the love. He creates playlists that tell stories, and he has specific ones for different adventures that are all Taylor. I was so excited when I saw her engagement announcement on Instagram. The first thing I did was screenshot the ring<\/a> and the picture of them and send it to John. The dress wasn\u2019t the first thing I saw, because I was mostly just excited by the notion of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are definitely fall people, so we\u2019ve got the wedding date booked for next November\u2014cooler weather, more intimate.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134,49747,2897,27053],"class_list":{"0":"post-101142","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-ralph-lauren","13":"tag-taylor-swift","14":"tag-wedding-inspiration"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
