Pomegranates, orchids and pinecones sit atop a footed vintage mini-tea-table.

A team of pros put their collective imagination to work in a balmy Florida garden to create a festive fairytale of a fête—using unexpected visual touches that brought colder climates to mind, while allowing guests to stay blissfully warm. A color palette of sparkling gold, rich red and snow white set the seasonal tone. “We stayed away from typical winter-holiday green-and-red combos or jewel tones like sapphire and amethyst,” says co-designer Mariana Herrera Mosli, of Kismis Ink, in Tampa, FL. The inspired jumping-off point? Ripe, ruby-red pomegranate, a fruit that is in peak season during the fall and winter months.

Why take engagement photos? First, it's a great way to get more comfortable in front of the camera with your wedding photographer. You'll get out all of the jitters, learn about how your photographer operates, and, on the flip side, your photographer will get a better idea of your comfort level and your best angles—resulting in better pictures on your wedding day. But the most popular reason to take engagement photos—save-the-dates. That's why we love when couples show off their personalities with creatively-themed shoots. What better way to introduce your guests to the two of you as a couple?

Here, we've rounded up some of our favorite and unique engagement shoots.  Enjoy!

The Notebook touched close to home for Cindy and Jean-Nicola. Jean-Nicola's late grandparents both suffered from Alzheimer's disease, much like Allie in the movie. And like Allie and Noah, this young couple's love is intense. "We hope that our love endures all that life will throw at us, much like Noah and Allie," said Cindy.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that Cindy looks so much like Rachel McAdams!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith isn't just a romantic action comedy — it's also the movie where Brangelina fell in love, making it perfect inspiration for Daphne and Chris's engagement photos. This couple loves to imitate movie posters. "Their hilarious imitations always crack me up, so I knew I just had to integrate that into their shoot," said their photographer, Michelle Chiu. The couple took a break from being in character to shoot some sweet, vintage-inspired photos as well, incorporating cherry blossoms; Daphne's name in Vietnamese means cherry blossom.
