Why You Shouldn’t Choose Your Wedding Dress Based on Photos
When it comes to selecting your dream wedding dress, the experience can be both exciting and overwhelming. One common mistake that brides-to-be make is basing their decision on photos taken during their dress shopping appointment. At Bridal Indulgence, we advise against this practice for a few key reasons, and here's why:
01. Camera Quality Discrepancy
While camera phones are convenient for capturing moments, they fall short in capturing the intricate details and beauty of a wedding dress compared to a professional camera. Your phone's camera may not do justice to the stunning features of your dress, making it challenging to gauge its true essence through photos alone.
02. Unflattering Angles:
Guests often take photos from unflattering angles, such as upwards shots, which may not showcase the dress in the most flattering light. These photos can distort the appearance of the dress and may not accurately reflect how you look and feel in person.
03. Fit and Size Discrepancies:
The sample dress you try on during your appointment is likely not your size and hasn't been tailored to fit you perfectly. As a result, the dress may not look as flawless or as it should when trying to envision it through photos.
Here are our tips on how to approach taking and using photos during your dress shopping appointment:
- Ask your stylist to take photos for you using their expertise in capturing the dress from the best angles.
- Use the photos for reference purposes only, especially if you're deciding between multiple dresses. Focus on remembering key details and elements of each dress to aid in your decision-making process.
- Once you've selected your wedding dress, consider deleting the photos taken during your shopping experience to avoid unnecessary confusion or second-guessing.
Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing your wedding dress is how you feel when wearing it. Focus on the emotions and confidence you exude in the dress rather than solely relying on photos. At Bridal Indulgence, we encourage you to trust your instincts and revisit your favourite dress for a retry if needed.
Happy wedding dress shopping and may you find the perfect dress that makes you feel truly special on your big day!
