I have no idea what I'm going to do with my hair. I'm freaking out over it because I hate having my picture taken and my head is just shining under the sunlight because my hair is so thin! ANNDD someone else is styling my hair, so that is taking out the worry in me having to do it (that only takes forever).

Hey Katrina,
I still have not figured out how to wear any kind of clip on hair extensions for daily use.... b/c my experience had been that they look obvious or I can't hide them well...BUT one exception- they work pretty well with up-do's. It can add thickness and with your hair up it is easier to hide wear they are clipped in.
They are not that expensive- you can find them in places like sally's beauty supply, target...etc. Just a
thought!
Also the stylist doing your hair may have some ideas- how about calling her early and discussing your
concern so she can plan some things to try. ( or bring certain products/extensions etc.)
I had the same problem when my sister got married. It was awful just stressing about it all the time and trying different options. In the end I did my hair myself. I used those bendy roller things that are made of foam and stuck the hair I had at the time in those. Then I left half down and put the other half up in a tiny twist at the back and pinned it with loads of bobby pins and hair spray. I managed to detract a bit from balding with a tiara! I don't think anyone particularly noticed as everyone was looking at the bride and they probably just thought my hair looked very thin (the part that was hanging down). You can always look at products like toppik that you can apply to your head to conceal the baldy/shining areas - but whether they are suitable depends on how much hair you have left.
