Said yes to the dress! Doesn’t photograph well

Marissa, on November 3, 2018 at 9:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 33
Hi everyone! Last weekend I said yes to THE dress! It was the last dress I tried on at the first store & I just knew. I still went to my second appt but came back to the first store & purchased the dress the same day, right before they closed. The only problem is that I don’t think it photographs well. I almost convinced myself I liked a dress better at the second store because it photographed better (last pic) but ultimately decided against it, it just wasn’t the dress for me. Has anyone gone through something similar? Did you do anything to make your dress “pop” more in photos? Don’t mind the pics, I’m awkward & not the most photogenic lol

    Both dresses are pretty. The second dress does really pop. However you have to pick the dress that you are the most comfortable in. I think a long veil with the first dress and some jewelry will make it pop more. Either way you will look beautiful.

    I like the first one better. You need to remember that your photographer has way better equipment then a cell camera. And I do agree that with the right accessories you will be even more beautiful.

    I really don’t care for the second dress and you look uncomfortable. I think your first dress looks stunning and as others mentioned, your photographer will know how to capture its glory. I had a similar moment with mine where I fell in love with a dress and went to my second appointment. I pulled up the picture to show the consultant and I was like....this doesn’t look how I felt at all! We went back and got some better photos and I felt much better, still didn’t think it photographer well but I’m trusting that when it’s my size and a professional photographer in natural light I’ll be happy.

    I absolutely LOVE your dress! I have no idea what you mean about it not photographing well because I think it looks stunning! To be honest, I am not a big fan of the second dress. It's very busy and I feel that the dress is wearing you rather than you wearing the dress. On the photography issue, I am sure more detail will be picked up by the lens of a professional photographers lens. You truly look gorgeous in the dress and will make one heck of a stunning bride! Congrats!

    You made the right choice. The first dress is gorgeous! Just echoing a previous poster, your photographer has a better camera than a cell does. I’m certain your pictures will turn out amazing. Congratulations!

    It’s beautiful. And you will be shocked how much hair, makeup, veil, and accessories change dress it up. I suggest finding your things and then doing bridals after your muah trail, you’ll feel much better

    Thank you so much everyoneSmiley shame I definitely wasn’t comfortable in the second dress and did feel like the dress was “wearing me”. I hope the lace details on the bottom of the dress I chose do come through in photos because it’s one of my favorite parts. In either case, I still love the dress & can’t wait to wear it already!

    I love the first dress! I'm so happy that you stuck to your gut and got that dress! It is stunning on you. And always accessorize, so maybe a blingy necklace and a long floor length veil with a little sparkle on it will make this "pop". How do you plan to wear your hair? Half up half down and subtle pair of earrings would compliment your dress well too.
