Maybe a small ditsy floral? For DH or the girls, I would consider a warm brown or a cranberry-ish color (I don't think that's too red to compete with fall background). I would personally stay away from the Azalea color because it comes across as too spring for fall photos for me, but a dusty rose or even a muted fuschia would be beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846390 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:53:52 +0000 Jennibenni 2846390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need a pattern somewhere or something heavily textured that would read in photos, like cable knit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846376 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:32:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2846376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I like that pink a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846348 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 11:47:32 +0000 mfa_lady 2846348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're looking for some other solid colors, this is a cute dress from Gap: <a href="https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1106753&#038;pcid=6436&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=382167032" rel="nofollow">https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1106753&#038;pcid=6436&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=382167032</a></p> <p>If you like the solid look for everyone, I'd try to mix things up a little. For example, something like this: </p> <p>- Green dress + patterned scarf for you<br /> - Gray sweater for DH<br /> - Pink tights + chambray dress + headband for DD1<br /> - Neutral tights + pink dress + patterned scarf or cute vest for DD2</p> <p>We did something similar for our Christmas Card last year. Technically, everyone was in pinks / grays / blues but I mixed in some interest with chambray and sweater/scarf textures so it didn't look too matchy matchy.

Maybe do one in a patterned dress and then have the other in a solid with a fun scarf?

I would recommend a plaid/gingham/tattersall shirt for your husband - something like one of these: </p> <p><a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/flex-washed-shirt-in-plaid/J5304?color_name=university-green-plaid" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/flex-washed-shirt-in-plaid/J5304?color_name=university-green-plaid</a></p> <p><a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/flex-washed-shirt-in-small-gingham/J5287?color_name=navy-gingham" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/flex-washed-shirt-in-small-gingham/J5287?color_name=navy-gingham</a></p> <p><a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/tall-slimfit-flex-washed-shirt-in-mini-tattersall/J5365?color_name=field-tattersall" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shirts/authentic_washed_shirts/tall-slimfit-flex-washed-shirt-in-mini-tattersall/J5365?color_name=field-tattersall</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846286 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 08:44:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2846286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also- if you did the pink dress, I think this cardigan from Gymboree on one of them would be really cute and incorporate your green. I actually ordered it for my daughter for our family pictures by t doesn’t work with our overall color scheme I don’t think. It’s super cute in person. </p> [attach=2307/18/pfb25y.338x600.77E5607D-713F-4646-8429-E925F33D00C4.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846284 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 08:39:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2846284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you could do the navy but use some accessories to make them pop- like a necklace, tights, cardigan. Or the pink would be cute. I don’t think they have to match, but it certainly is easier (for you) if they do! The azalea might be a little summery but I think it’s ok. What colors do they like? My girls love girly pastels so they are wearing pink sweaters for our fall pictures. </p> <p>I think you could also incorporate a small pattern in the girls dresses our outfits- maybe patterned tights with the solid dresses or something. Or a scarf or cardigan or something. </p> <p>And I like your dress and his sweater together!</p> <p>ETA: you could do gray cable knit tights for the girls to bring in the gray and some texture. The only thing right now is all your dresses are a flat smooth texture so I think cable knit or layers would be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846275 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 08:25:02 +0000 josina 2846275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the colors you have picked, but I personally would put the girls in coordinating colors vs. exact, and maybe pull in accessories that coordinate like Mrs Lemon Lime mentioned, grey or green tights / headband / scarf or a cardigan to pull the colors together? (Maybe both girls in the blue, but their accessories are opposite?)<br /> I would keep the grey sweater you have picked out also - no black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846251 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 02:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2846251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: that’s such a cool way to coordinate!</p> <p>@Hypatia: I love your dress and that gray sweater for your husband. The girls could repeat his gray with tights. The Azalea dress with darker gray, so it’s not matchy-matchy. Primary’s Slate Gray is similar to the dark gray from Mrs. Bell’s chart. Will your daughters have accessories too like a headband or necklace? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846247 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:22:28 +0000 Hypatia 2846247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Wow, thanks! Definitely saving that. Here's the same dresses in Azalea, the closest pink option from Primary. It might be too bright—not sure if a softer pink would be better. </p> [attach=8948/18/pfac5g.600x600.8D740699-7882-45FD-9421-3B3CAD6C42E8.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846245 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:08:47 +0000 Mrsbells 2846245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I saw this color palette guide on pinterest and it looka your dress is close to the green in "option 4" in that case I would go for something more coral/pink for the girls </p> [attach=1326/18/pfabin.225x600.4f196934b24c4f078cd802063c94e639.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clothing-for-family-photos#post-2846240 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 22:37:45 +0000 Hypatia 2846240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having family photos taken by a lake in October. Our photographer advised us to wear long sleeves and to stay away from red, orange or yellow (since the background will be those colors, I guess those colors would either compete with it or we would blend in too much?). </p> <p>I'm pretty sure I'm going to wear this dress with the gold leaf pendent. I'm a little stumped on how to coordinate everyone without being matchy matchy. Does that gray sweater work or should my DH go for a darker gray or even black? Should our 4 and 1 year old girls match or have different colored dresses? Is the navy blue too dark?</p> <p>Style is not my thing. Any advice would be appreciated! </p> [attach=8948/18/pfaa2y.600x600.3FCD5212-BA38-4961-BBD0-057AAD6783CD.jpeg] [attach=8948/18/pfaa2z.600x600.6364CB27-C2EB-4143-A788-92B9B537AA6F.jpeg]
