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?

    Both! But I’d say in person! I feel like my dress looks way better in person than the photos I took of it, but I’m sure a professional photographer will be able to capture it beautifully!

    My dress is absolutely stunning in person. And pictures dont do it justice. I didnt think about it when I bought it and actually didnt notice until my 3rd fitting that pictures dont really do anything for all the details. Me in the dress I look great, shape is amazing but for all the amazing details does absolutely nothing lol. I am sad about that because in 50 years pictures will be what we look at, even though my dress will be preserved in a display box....but I love how stunning it is in person.

    Wow, definitely something I never even considered. Now I hope that my dress is good photographed as much as it is in person! Eek, lol.

    I would have to say in pictures personally because I would want to have beautiful memories captured to look back on that I would be happy with! But I don't know.... don't tempt me, I might change my mind back to in person!

    I think so-so in person and amazing in photos. The pictures I will have forever and either way I will feel good in my dress. Plus for me the dress is not the most important thing.

    I think in person, only because confidence in a dress will show through whether it’s stunning in pictures or not!

    Funny I had this very dilemma. I had 2 dresses I loved, a halter, mermaid style that was stunning in person but looks kinda blah in photos and a fitted, off shoulder with an overlay, it was beyond gorgeous in photos, but the halter was better in person. Photos are super important to me, yet I picked the halter. I still dream about that cape dress.

    I would rather have a dress that looks good in person, pictures never do things justice anyway.
