You’re officially engaged and you can’t wait to show off your big, beautiful bauble to the world! Social media has led to an uptick in creativity with the much-anticipated engagement ring selfie. Once you tell your closest friends and family, this pic is the easiest way to announce your upcoming nuptials to the rest of those near and dear.
Perfect Ring, Perfect Post
The best way to make this announcement personalized for you and your new fiancé is through the background you choose. It could be in nature (if you love the great outdoors), against a city backdrop (if you like more of an urban vibe), or even beside an airplane window of your next adventure (if you both have a bit of wanderlust). Make this the ‘gram of your dreams!
Scout out the perfect back drop whether it’s a skyline, latte or perfectly-patterned pillow. Check out some inspo to ‘ring’ in your upcoming photoshoot:
- Showcase your ring with a back drop of flowers to add some beautiful and natural color.
- Consider using elements of the proposal. For example, if your significant other popped the question on a beach, then sun and sand make for a great background.
- Include your fiancé! They gave you the ring so it only makes sense to have them appear somewhere in the photo.
- Give the pic some vacation vibes. Any iconic symbol of a trip (especially if the proposal happened while away on vacation) is a great way to show off your new sparkler.
- Opt for a cozy vibe with your hand against your sweater and some bright fall florals in the background.
- Holding hands is a good way to include both of you along with your new ring.
- A simple yet bright background doesn’t need to be neutral and can really make your ring pop.
- Use seasonal décor – whether it’s at Christmas time or even the Fourth of July – to make an interesting and often colorful back drop.
- Marble is always classy especially with a fancy new manicure. Find a beautiful floor or wall and use it to your advantage!
- If your proposal came during winter, use a sparkly and snowy background as a natural reflector and perfect lighting.
- Holding your hand out in front of a neutral and monochromatic outfit is a great way to accentuate your new jewel.
- If a chill is in the air, show off all things fall by putting your hand in front of a pumpkin patch. The bright orange will be fun and seasonal.
- Keep it classic with an all-white background and all-white mani to really let your ring have all the attention.
Remember to take a ton of pics but only choose one. You won’t want to use a collage as your ring should stand out and look awesome.
