PIPs as requested

Joseys and a few others were going to help me decide what to dress the family in for DDs 3 mo/Spring/Easter pics. She will be wearing both of these, I need to choose one of them and coordinate outfits for DH, DS, and I to wear with it. The boys will wear khakis. I was thinking a polo and tie for DS, but idk what colors.

I am open to all suggestions! Thanks!

    I vote #2. It's bright and looks great in the pics. I assume the first one looks great in person (the lace and detail work) but it really doesn't translate well to the pics.

    ETA: Reading FAIL - I thought we were picking between the dresses. I'm no help on outfit coordination.

    I pick the second one for coordinating.  

    I have DH and DS do orange or yellow (prob one of each), and you in bright pink.

     

    Here is a photo we had of our kids/nieces/nephew from last summer in bright colors....so you could even do bright blue/green on the guys - any thing the same 'tone'.

    You can wear a pink cardigan or dress, DS a dress shirt and orange or  right tie and DH can coordinate with DS. If you cannot find a tie try etsy. Any chance you sew?

    As much as I love #2, I think the first one will be easier to coordinate for a family picture.  If you coordinate with #2, it's going to be very bright and more distracting, rather than a homogeneous look.

    With #1, I would have the boys in light blue shirts (polo or button up) and you wear a nice white blouse.  Khakis would look nice with the boys.

    FWIW - I worked in a portrait studio for YEARS, so that's where the advice is coming from.
