Bridal portraits - two dresses?

Spencer, on January 5, 2022 at 2:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 4

Hi everyone! I'm having bridal portraits done in April. I'm taking a few photos on my property so I can include my two older dogs who don't travel well, then doing the main bridal portraits elsewhere. I'm considering wearing two dresses - my actual gown for the main bridal portraits, and then a second (less expensive) dress for my portraits with my dogs so if it gets stepped on/torn/dirty, it's not a big deal. My wedding gown has really intricate lace throughout and I'm paranoid about it getting ripped! Has anyone done this? Is this a crazy idea? Thanks in advance!

    I think that's a great idea since these will take place before your wedding day. I might have said 'no big deal' to wear the real dress if it was after your ceremony, when most of your guests had seen it, but I probably wouldn't risk it pre-wedding! Those photos sound adorable, I love when people include their pets in their pics!

    Thank you Rosie!! I’d love to have them at the wedding, but they’re older and anxious, so this was an easier way I could still incorporate them.

    Of course! And so nice to be able to incorporate them in a way that is best for them too!

    I used to have a pet bunny who has since passed, but I've seen the cutest wedding photo shoots with bunnies and if he'd been alive still I would love to have been able to replicate them!

    Like this one, lol:

    My rabbit would have absolutely loved getting his teeth on those shoes - he had a thing for expensive leather, lol!

    Hopefully you'll get some similarly representative pictures of your fur babies, where their little personalities are shining through - such a lovely memory to have!
