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?

    Umm this is a though question but I think I would prefer that my dress looks better in the photos because those are memories that are going to last forever, it's the pictures our kids are going to see and I have confidence in me that even if the dress is so so in person I'm still going to look good

    I would go by how it feels when I wear it. Then the price, because we need the budget to be as small as possible. Smiley tongue

    If there are two dresses, one good for pics and one good for in-person, and they both feel just awesome, and the prices are both good with our budget...

    I'd probably end up choosing the one that looked better in-person. Pictures being accurate to the real thing aren't as important, I don't think, as my confidence in knowing that I look just absolutely fab on my big day.

    I think better in photos. I will forever see those photos... my memory may not always be the greatest so remember that day will come from my photos.
