Take A Selfie with Your Engagement Ring
It’s time to think about taking the perfect shot with your engagement ring to share your happy news online and let the world know you’re going to walk down the aisle. A selfie is a perfect option to make an announcement for your Instagram and Facebook pages. Your visuals should create a setting and mood, and context, so make sure you thought out everything prior. Photos in a sequence of three slides are a fantastic way to tell your story as a couple. One could be a wide shot of the proposal moment, a close-up of the engagement ring, and a final selfie of the happy couple showing off their rings together. A candid selfie is a way to go, with some laughter, playful vibes, and natural ambiance. You can both pose your hands near your faces so it can highlight the engagement ring better. You can also use props like a bouquet of flowers to accompany your ring or simply hold each other’s hands in the shot while making your wedding bands the main focus. Pair everything together with a smile and click the jaw-dropping photograph. Another popular way to announce your engagement and show off your ring is by creating a collage. You and your partner can snap the ring in the same poses, accompanied with a smile and some sass then put the pictures together to catch your loved one’s attention mid-scroll. For a complete look, try to accessorise with different jewellery pieces that complement your ring. Ladies can wear a subtle gold chain or subtle pair of earrings to create a sophisticated look. For men, cufflinks or a chain will look particularly dashing too. Remember not to go overboard with too much jewellery as this can divert the attention from your engagement ring.
