AW: Bridal Portraits yesterday! PIP

I had my bridal portraits done yesterday. I was really nervous because we hadn't done a hair trial before, I decided to do my own makeup, and I hadn't seen the property we were using for pictures. I also hate posing for pictures for more than 60 seconds.

Anyways, I think they went well and I actually had a lot of fun! FSIL came with me and was amazing!

The back of my hair (except that weird piece kind of sticking out on the left side, she ended up pinning it).

The front of my hair after pictures were over. The piece that frames my face fell out half way through pictures and I actually liked it better.

Here are a few at the winery we went to. Even though the leaves on the vines were dead, I loved it.

Then since there weren't as many good locations to take pictures there we went to my dad's house and took pictures at the farm. The ones below are with his truck that I had to learn to drive on. I don't like this pose as much but that's all my FSIL got on her phone.

My bouquet that I made. I'm not a fan of the pink bow. That is my promise ring from FI hanging down and the brown thing around the top is a leather bracelet with my initials on it that FI made me.

I really liked my hair and makeup. I felt like it was real and couldn't believe our wedding is only a little over 6 weeks away! Thanks for letting me AW :)

  • Yayyy those are beautiful pictures! I love the fall backdrop with the leaves. And the ones with your dads blue truck are going to be so cute and a totally different vibe! Pop of color, I love it.

  • Lady, you look STUNNING. Holy shit. 
  • So pretty! Even though I refuse to believe you're not Miranda Lambert.

    I'm just curious though since I'd never heard of bridals before TK, what do you do with them? I mean, do you display a photo of just yourself in your house?

    Bridals are a southern tradition. You place these pictures in the reception space at your wedding. Of course you can also place them in your home after your wedding or give them to family. Idk why we AW ourselves down here. I have 3 canvas portraits for a collage ready for a certain wall in our new house. It's just me in my wedding dress. We will have our wedding photos on a more centrally located wall, and in our bedroom. Probably on the credenza too, and on the stairs.. Haha. Until babies come along.

  • Beautiful! Your FI's jaw is going to hit the floor when he sees you on your wedding day!

    @RebeccaFlower Definitely a Southern tradition (I'm from NC). I will have one displayed at the wedding and give some to family. When I first came to TK I didn't think about how big of an AW the bride seems by doing this, but I still wanted to do it, haha. 

    Maybe there should be groom(al) portraits too?

    I mean, it's basically a trial with the dress, so I get doing it, I just don't see what you do with the pictures. I mean, my parents have one of just me from our wedding day but it is a little weird to me. 

    Reguardless, you look gorgeous.

    It is basically a trial of everything and then we AW ourselves more at the reception. It is a really odd concept (especially if you hadn't heard of it).

    Thank you though!

  • Those photos are gorgeous.  Love your hair (and dress, and everything, really!)

    I too had not heard of bridal portraits.  I learned something new today!

  • You're stunning!  And I love the leaves (even though they are dead).  The orange hue is perfect!

  • I'm from the North so I have heard about bridals before but also didn't understand the point of them, I still don't. I kinda think what is the point of displaying a wedding photo (in your house) that was not taken on your wedding day? Seems weird. But regardless you look super fantastic and beautiful!!!!!!!

  • YOU ARE SOOO PRETTY! Love these.
  • Beautiful!
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
