Find that PERFECT outfit!
You might think that it would be impossible to find a Bridgerton-style dress on short notice, but that’s not true! There are plenty of places where you can order custom-made Regency-era dresses with contemporary flair for your Raleigh Rose Garden photos. You can order one online at shops like Anthropologie, Free People, BHLDN, or even Lulus!

Choose a location with beautiful views
The best way to get a picture-perfect shot is by choosing an ideal location. Picking the Raleigh Rose Garden’s as your engagement session is definitely a step in the right direction! Take advantage of the breathtaking botanical views that will really make your photographs stand out!
Roses are a must!
Wanting anything Bridgerton style? Adding in English roses is a must! They represent beauty and passion. Roses are also a symbol of love and romance. You can’t go wrong with roses, and they’re perfect for a whimsical engagement shoot. Want a bit of extra drama for your Raleigh Rose Garden engagement photos? You could always bring along dainty little bouquet or a fun flower crown for the occasion! Choose a color that matches your dress or suits your style.
Bridgerton-Style Makeup
To mimick the style of Daphne Bridgerton, make sure to choose a makeup look with lots of soft color and highlights! To be a radiant English beauty, you want to keep a natural glam for your Raleigh Rose Garden engagement photos. Ask your makeup artist to add in pale peaches, soft rosy cheeks, and luminizer to keep your look dewy and feminine. Your hairstyle should complement your makeup look. For hair, be on the lookout for hairstyles with curls or waves and a loose bun. Added Bridgerton style engagement glam? Pop in some pearl earrings!
Make sure to have fun!

These gorgeous Raleigh Rose Garden engagement photos were taken in the early summer when almost all of the varieties were in bloom! The park is gorgeous all year long, but I work with my couples to pick locations that are at their peak for our sessions together. We also hopped over to the JC Raulston Arboretum for the second half of their session, which is definitely one of my other favorite Raleigh engagement photo locations!
