October 2013 Weddings

Engagement photo madness...

Just when I think I have everything sorted out, I start second guessing myself.   I have already purchased my outfit, and am still figuring out what I want to do with my hair, but now I'm thinking that everything I have chosen is all wrong!  My MOH has a completely different style than I (go figure, she's my sister), and all of my BM's are super busy and reaching them can be difficult at times.  So, maybe you ladies can help me out.

But in the green, and I have ordered a pair of cognac colored, suede fringe boots.  

For hair, I was thinking either styled down (I always have my hair up thanks to motherhood) or my girlfriend showed me this, and I can't say I'm opposed, but I wonder if it will work or not.


Disclaimer:  This is not me in the picture.

Any advice/critiques are greatly appreciated!  TIA!

ETA:  To correct a silly spelling, I'm currently on all types of cold medicine.

    I can't see the outfit.  But, I think you may be overthinking this.  FI and I grabbed whatever was clean when we did our E Photos and they came out beautiful.  Go with your gut on what to wear and it will be great!

    lol this. I just wore black pants, a purple tank and a white blouse with some black maryjanes. My finace wore a t-shirt and khaki cargo pants with sneakers. Our pics are awesome: <a href="http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_plus-sized_engagement-photos-pip">http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_plus-sized_engagement-photos-pip</a>

  • If you're comfortable in the outfit, you'll get good pictures. If you're uncomfortable, you won't get good pictures.

    If you're getting pictures taken outside, and it's windy, hair down will mean hair in your face. I didn't even think about that when I was getting ready the morning of, and hadn't bothered to check the weather. It was SUPER windy and throughout the entire process I was constantly getting my hair out of my face. In one picture my hair managed to get in front of my eyes.... Sigh. (Although I'm certain when I say my hair has a mind of it's own...)
  • Thank you ladies!  Yes, I may ver well be overthinking it.  I think I overthink practically everything when it comes to the wedding, but that's mainly due to my own insecurities.  Yep, I'm one of those haha.  I've just always been uncomfortable in pictures altogether, and I think I'm letting my nerves get to me.
