We just had our engagement photos done, and I’m obsessed!! I’m half Indian and really wanted some photos in a lengha. Outfits are from lashkara and my other dress is fashion nova.

Everyone told me to pick this dress for my engagement photos, but I felt like it was so unflattering and didn’t feel great in it. I kept trying dresses on, and now my photos are in a week. I ended up taking a trip to the craft store and sewed on sleeves to my dress and now I love it!! I also made a little scarf to go with the dress. Excuse my sewing, my only experience is from sewing point shoes for ballet when I was a teenager haha. What do you yall think?

First lengha is my wedding lengha. I wanted a different one, but it went off sale and my family didn’t love the color. I do like the one I ordered, but im also having mixed feelings.

I feel like I wanted to add a pop of color, so I asked if I could make the second dupatta a different color. The swatches are the options for the dupatta. The designer is suggesting shade 135 (photo 6 with blue check mark), my family is wanting shade 136. I kinda like the idea of orange (like slide 8) or blue (like slide 7) , but my family says no lol. I feel like the gold or light color will wash me out.

I’ve included inspo photos. I just can’t decide! I also don’t know if I should just pick red and stay classic. Last photo is what I look like to get an idea of skin tone/features. I’m located in the US, so I can’t try stuff on unfortunately.
