Mrs. Scissors's Picture
Mrs. Scissors, LaGrange, GA Age and Occupation: 25, Photography & Graphic Design Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Engineering Grad Student Engagement Date: January 1, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Ceremony - First United Methodist Church; Reception - My parents' house! About Me: I’m a six-foot-three bride with a fifty-foot personality! I love great art, fabulous design, intense color, tons of music, indie photography, watching movies on repeat, and being really awesome. This super-tall, Southern, loud, quirky, neurotic artist is marrying a German, quiet, silly, super-amazing roboticist in an eclectic, funky, fun, snazzy, technicolored June wedding. Anything is game for this shindig, for it is all about us! We’re bringing giant paper cranes, six-foot-tall portraits, fortune cookies, a photo booth, a club-circuit DJ, handcuffs, and possibly a kidnapping to this small Southern town. Watch out, y’all, and try to keep up!

What We Wore for the Engagement Shoot! :  wedding dress engagement pictures menswear Smallac smallactrual

That delightful [read: crappy] cell phone shot is the only photo I took of our engagement shoot outfits. What we wore was much different than the initial idea for our outfits, or at least on my side. We ditched the bland black-and-white (and unintentional matching) outfits that we’d originally planned on wearing, and went for pop and fun.

I really loved wearing this outfit. I felt like a total rock star. The tights were just so in-your-face and awesome. Plus, the polish was exactly the same color as the tights, which I hadn’t intended. (Buying the tights was a total afterthought). I hope I looked as good in it as I felt.

Dress: Ruched Exposed Zip Dress, Banana Republic, $132.00

Tights: Super Opaque Tight (in Claret), Hue, $12.50

Heels: James, Tory Burch, $310.00

Flats: Lizard-Print Flats, Old Navy, $24.50

Polish: OPI for Sephora (in It’s All About Me), Sephora, $9.00

Mr. S’s outfit was pretty similar to what we were thinking initially. The only changes were dropping a blazer for a charcoal sweater and throwing in some neon-blue socks.

Sweater: Merino V-Neck Sweater (in Dark Charcoal), Gap, $49.50

Shirt: New Solid Oxford, Gap, $44.50

Jeans: Standard Fit Jeans (in Medium Authentic Wash), Gap, $54.50

Socks: Solid Sock (in Neon Blue), Urban Outfitters, $8.00

Shoes: Chuck Taylor All-Stars, Piperlime, $42.50

What outfits did you rock for your engagement shoot? Did you go all renegade and switch up the plans at the last minute?

@Mrs. French Bulldog: I love them, and they’re SO comfortable. I also got them on a mini-sale, plus mom had some InCircle giftcard, so I only paid like $100 bucks for them. :p

@Miss Sox in the City: Thanks. Somehow I, girl who wanted zero pink in wedding-land, has turned into the hot pink queen. Oh well, I couldn’t fight it for long!

@jingle96: Meee toooo, and I agree. Not that you’ve seen them. *cough*

@KatieBug3017: Sho nuff.

@Mrs. Labrador: They were a total impulse-buy-God-get-me-out-of-Lenox-mall-before-I-commit-a-homicide purchase. I’m glad I got ‘em. :p

@mander411: You will! Patience, young grasshopper. :)

@Jessie516: Totally try out some of her heels. They are all super comfortable, especially on the balls of your feet. My only ish is that they’re a little too wide.

@Miss Cheeseburger: Skanx!

I love Tory Burch heels and I nearly bought them but they run big. Even their size 5 didn’t fit me :(
But I wore very very classic pencil skirt dresses and shifts. I didn’t want to look back at my engagement shots and look dated, ya know?

@Miss Yap: They run super big! Your e-shots were in a vintage plane, right? Or am I imagining it? :p

@Mrs. Hot Cocoa: Constant vigilance! Or something like that.

@krissycake: And they’re cozy too! I wore gray ones today. True story.

@Miss Chicken Wing: Thanks! I love that Mr. S allows me to have crazy outfit ideas and goes along with it.

@Miss Guinea Pig: :) Thanks! I still get a little nervous about it sometimes. lol
