Also, about a month later, I had a friend who shopped at the same salon for her wedding dress. I told her about the “no pictures” policy, so she came up with a plan. She left her purse outside of the dressing room where there was a platform to stand on once you had your dress on and the saleswoman would help you tie/zip up your dress. In her purse, she had her cell phone set to record video and she positioned it so no one could see the screen, but the camera was angled to where you could see whoever was on top of the platform. She said it really helped her to see a live version of what the dresses looked like on her so she could see how she moved in it and everything. She said the saleswoman did let her know of the policy beforehand, but once my friend pointed out that she was leaving her phone in her purse, the saleswoman thought nothing of it and probably wouldn’t think about the fact that the phone could be set to record video, so that’s another option as well.

It’s very common where I’m from to not allow pictures. Many salons I went too cut out the designers tags as well so you couldn’t easily search for the dress else where.

I found my dress in a salon that wouldn’t allow me to take pics but they allowed me to skype my sister so I could get a second opinion (I went on my own to shop) and my sis took screen-shots for me (sssh). I think it’s so difficult to decide on a dress if you can’t think it over and see how it looks on you in pictures. Other salons have been fine though so haven’t figured out if it’s designer specific or salon specific….It’s not a very bride friendly policy, especially after having to pay for an appointment!

I went to 5 bridal salons to find my dress and I didn’t encounter that rule at any of them. My mother took a bunch of pictures at every appointment. I also didn’t encounter any cases where I wasn’t allowed to know who made the dress or what the style was until after a purchase was made. I feel like if I encountered rules like that I’d go to another salon. I also contacted salons looking for specific designers, so maybe that had something to do with it.

What I’ve heard (in relation to copyright) is that they don’t want you to be taking pictures of a dress to then have made somewhere else. Dunno how true that is.
