Would you rather...have a dress that looks amazing in person but so-so in pictures, or vice versa?

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?

    I would rather have a dress that looks amazing in photos. I think regardless of what I look like in person, I have a wonderful aura that just lights up a room and brings people together. So I don't worry how I look that much, because I remember how I felt in a moment. As long as the pictures come out great!

    I would want a dress that fits and looks great in person, not in picture. Everyone's body type & shape are different. You have to look good in your wedding dress.

    In-person for sure. Photographs are great, but in the end my FH and I will remember day-of, pictures or not. How did I look in that dress when I walked down the aisle (even though we don't have an aisle, ha!), amazing! he'll say. ha Smiley smile

    Good in photos. I wouldn't want opinions and memories from the day of to morph into how the dress photographed as time goes on.

    Amazing in person, people at the wedding will remember how beautiful you looked when they first say you.

    Tough one because photos are also so important for memories but I prefer looking best in person. I mean nowadays you can edit pictures and the dress even but can't edit real life.

    I would love to have the dress look amazing in person and so-so in pictures. I want everyone's personal memories to remember the dress. Plus most of the pictures aren't about the dress anyways.

    Yeah, I am 50/50 as well but if I had to, I would pick better in person.

    I agree with those that say amazing in person. If I look good, I’ll feel good and rock the confidence which will translate to the photos.
