Why Take Photos<\/p>\n

Visual Memory<\/p>\n

Comparisons<\/h3>\n

If you’re visiting multiple boutiques and trying on various dresses, photos allow you to compare different styles, silhouettes, and details. It can be especially helpful if you’re torn between a few options.<\/p>\n

Accessories Coordination<\/h3>\n

Your choice of accessories\u2014veil, headpiece, jewelry, shoes\u2014can greatly impact your overall bridal look. Having photos of the dress helps you coordinate accessories more effectively.<\/p>\n

Alteration Reference<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve chosen your dress, alterations are typically needed to ensure a perfect fit. Having photos helps the seamstress understand the dress’s original state and what adjustments are required.<\/p>\n

Budget Management<\/h3>\n

Keeping photos can also be beneficial for budget tracking<\/a>. You can refer back to the dress you selected to make sure it aligns with your allocated budget.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Detailed Notes<\/h2>\n

Fabric and Materials<\/h3>\n

Write down the type of fabric or materials used in your dress. This information can help with cleaning and care instructions later on.<\/p>\n

Design Details<\/h3>\n

Describe the dress’s design details, such as lace patterns, beadwork, or embroidery. These details may influence your accessory choices.<\/p>\n

Measurements<\/h3>\n

Record the measurements taken for your dress, especially if they differ from your standard clothing size. These measurements guide alterations.<\/p>\n

Alteration Instructions<\/h3>\n

If you and the boutique or seamstress discussed specific alterations, document these details. Clear notes ensure that your dress is tailored to your preferences.<\/p>\n

Dress Care<\/h3>\n

Include any care instructions or recommendations provided by the boutique. Knowing how to care for your dress before and after the wedding is essential.<\/p>\n

How to Capture the Details<\/h2>\n

Full-Length Photos<\/h3>\n

Take full-length photos of yourself in the dress from the front, back, and sides. These angles help you see how the dress looks from every perspective.<\/p>\n

Close-Ups<\/h3>\n

Capture close-up shots of the dress’s details, like the bodice, neckline, and any embellishments. These photos showcase the intricate elements of your gown.<\/p>\n

Accessories<\/h3>\n

If you try on accessories during your appointment, take pictures with and without them to see how they complement the dress.<\/p>\n

Poses<\/h3>\n

Experiment with different poses to see how the dress moves and drapes. It can help you choose poses for wedding photos.<\/p>\n

Expressions<\/h3>\n
