“Engagement ring selfies” are something we are all familiar with–especially this time of year!  You’ll be scrolling through your Facebook or Instagram feed when BAM! …all of a sudden you see a picture of your friend’s perfectly manicured left hand sporting a beautiful ring on that very special finger.  You may have even caught yourself daydreaming about the type of “hand selfie” you’ll post when the day comes that your guy pops the question; you want it to be perfect, right?!  When that wonderul day does come, here are some tips & tricks for nailing that signature “engagement ring selfie” shot:

Get your nails done  You deserve it!  Use a color that’s simple and elegant:  think blushes and muted taupes.  This will showcase your new bling and will be much less distracting than a fuchsia or a red color would be.

Scout out a background  Get creative!  Find a gorgeous sunset or a place that has special meaning to you.  Heck, why not use your adorable husband-to-be?  He is the one who gave you that sparkly masterpiece! 🙂

Strike a pose  Take a handful of different pictures and then narrow it down to “the one”.  You’ll have lots of options to choose from, but only upload one of them 🙂

Share  Finally, share the love with all of your friends online!!  (Someone should do a study on the average amount of time it takes to post a “ring selfie” to social media after a proposal.. )  Be sure to tell your mom and dad before posting!

We look forward to seeing all of your beautiful “engagement ring selfies” this year!

-Love & Light
