If you had to choose one thing about your dress would it be that it photographs well, or looks amazing in person? Is this something you considered when dress shopping?

    Amazing in person. I want to look the best on my actual wedding day. If the pictures come out so-so at least myself and my guest will know I looked amazing on the day

    I’d rather it look better in photos. Most people probably won’t even pay attention to the details on my wedding day, but the pics will be forever.

    In photos i guess, just because the photos capture the entire day and will last a very long time for many generations.

    Oh no!! I'm sure it'll look beautiful!!!! If this is something you're really concerned about, let your photographer know! This way you can ensure that they'll catch it at all the right angles and in the best lighting!!!

    Amazing in person! I’d rather look best on my wedding day than look best in photos. I’ll always have my dress to look back on.

    Probably better in pics. It’s my day so I’ll be on such a high horse anything will make me look good. Pics last for ever and I’d never want to look at them if I didn’t like the way I looked
