Veil & train crumpled down the aisle, no good photos :(

Elle, on April 23, 2024 at 10:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 2
I had a beautiful wedding but just venting about this one wrinkle in the day. I wore a really special custom gown with a long train and cathedral length veil. It expanded into this beautiful shape and the veil was meant to drape out beyond the train. It looked so stunning at my fittings!


Unfortunately at the wedding, it didn’t go as planned. Before I walked down, I asked the person standing closest to me (happened to be the coordinator) to expand the dress for me. She’s so sweet but she didn’t understand, and she ended up crumpling the veil and sort of rolling it up so it sat on top of my train instead of expanding. I had no idea and it looked horrible going down the aisle.
My fault for not demonstrating to a bridesmaid and ensuring it looked great in advance.
It wasn’t until days after the wedding that i realized. I’m sad because I spent a lot of money on the dress and I don’t have any “real” photos of it now. I’m seeing if the photographer can maybe photoshop it for me. No chance of recreating the shots in person since the wedding was out of the country Smiley sad

    Sorry to hear that this mess-up happened. Hope you can make it work out in a happier way.

    It may be nice to go ahead and get a session with a professional photographer to take photos of you and your partner. You also could probably do some pictures close to how you appear in the original wedding. This could be merged into the original photos. You could then use a selection of new couples photos along with the merged photos of your wedding day as you wish to remember it.

    Another option might just be to take photos with you in your dress mainly to capture the train and then have those images merged into some of the original pictures.

    I would hire a local photographer to do a bridal portrait session with you, so you can at least have some beautiful photos of the dress and veil
