    I finally convinced the boy to get engagement pics. Yay!

    We're going to do them at Philadelphia's Magic Garden, which is basically a giant mosaic installation a couple of city blocks wide (we considered having the wedding there but it would've been complicated). Here are some photos:

    So I've ordered two different dresses. I'm planning on wearing one to a wedding I'll be attending in a few months, and another for the engagement pics, but I'm not sure which one to wear to which.

    So, tell me. Which dress would look better against the mosaic backdrop?

    I think the Anthro one is too complicated for the place, IMO. Also, I'm partial to green :)

    They're both really cute and I think either would look great!

    they're both adorable!  but i think you'll pop out more in the green... you may get lost in the mosaics if you wear the anthro.  they'll be beautiful :-)  i wish my mom would let me get e-pics...

    The green dress is beautiful and I think it will look stunning at this place. What a neat place...never heard of it or saw it! ;)

    I love the location!  I have never heard of it, but I really want to go see it!  I voted for the green dress because I hate mixing black with bold colors.  Just a little "rule" I picked up from Trinny and Suzanne (spelling?) a long time ago. I think the green dress will look awesome in your pics!

    The green will be PERFECT. You will stand out more in a solid color against such an intricate background.

    I think the green dress would stand out best in that location.  That is such a cool looking place to take e-pics.  I hope you post some of them for us to see. :)

    Awesome location! Both dresses are really cute, but I think the green dress will really pop and go well with the environment, whereas the other's neutral tones may get a little lost but be perfect for a wedding.

    I voted keep looking. The right color would be black but the better cut is the green's.

    Photographers always say to wear solid colors for e-pics.  The green dress is beautiful!!!!

    The green for the engagement shoot!!! I think it will look great against the mosaic! The other dress is a retty party dress and has too much going on for such a busy background in the shoot.  I love that color and can really imagine it looking good in the photos!

    I love both dresses, but think the green one is much better for pics with that background.  I can't wait to see your pics!  Those are going to be amazing!

    The green dress is great! In in the color block you might blend into the busy background! Have fun!

    I think the ModCloth dress is ideal - engagement photos look best when the couples are wearing single, bold colors. Sometimes patterns and detail can make the photos look a little too busy. You want the focus to be on you and the groom-to-be. =)

    Whilst I LOVE the first dress more, the second will look better in that location I think. The solid green will pop, where as the first one will disappear.

    I think the green dress would look better because your e-pics location is colorful and you would look like a beautiful manikin type future bride.
