My best tip is get most of your pictures taken in natural lighting. NOTHING will look good in aquarium lighting in pictures. Wear your lavender dress, you’ll look great!
I think it depends on how you feel. If you LOVE your lavender dress and feel great in it, you'll be sad to change. I like your wedding and reception venues, sounds beautiful!
I wore a pink Maggie Sottero gown, I had my boys already so no need to wear white as far as I was concerned. A few people thought I was nuts, and we got married in the state capitol rose garden. I think in lavender it actually may be a beautiful contrast! And original! How YOU feel in the dress is what will really shine. I’m divorced and I still love my (solo!) wedding photos. No regrets lol if I never do it again I know I did that right.
i wore a pink dress and a white/cream one for dinner/after party
I'd have to see it to make an informed decision on the look. To me purple and blue together seems kind of like a mermaid vibe, especially at an aquarium, and I'm digging it!
I would go to the aquarium with a lavender shirt and test it in pictures. See if you like it our not. Its your wedding and as long as you like it, I love it for you 💕
plenty of people do a change of dress between the ceremony and reception so I think this is a great idea! but I agree that maybe a different color than purple so you don’t blend in with the aquarium colors. If you don’t want to do white try and find a warm tone dress color since the aquarium will be full of cool tones
