Dress Hangers

Plastic Or Wooden

This blog is going to be short and sweet cause really there isn’t much info to pass along, but the tip we are going to give you impacts the look of your image immensely! The wedding dress hanger you choose can make your photo & dress look classy or…not as classy. We know you want that dress to look classic, elegant and beautiful and that’s why we are writing a blog post about hangers. Something that is so mundane and something that as an ex-retail store associate, I can say from the bottom of my heart is that I. Hate. Hangers. Anyone else with me on that? But they play a minor, yet important role on your wedding day.

We highly recommend that the hanger you buy should be wooden. The white plastic hanger that may come with your dress or that you can pick up for a pack of 10 for a dollar at Target is not the kind you want to use. They don’t look as classy and take away from the elegance of your dress and image. Plus it won’t match any of your decor. Thinking of your hanger as a part of your decor for the wedding day makes so much sense because we can actually use it for details photos (look at the last image in this post to see what we mean).  We suggest a wooden hanger, something rich in color. You can even take it a step further and get your new last name written in the wire frame. Steph’s said “Mrs. Blizzard” and some brides have their hanger say “bride.” This personalizes the image a bit more. These wooden hangers emphasize the elegance of your dress and makes from classic, timeless and more expensive, high end wedding images, plus it’s a great investment that you can keep for forever! We hope this helps! Scroll down to see some hanger inspiration!

Just for reference, the image above is from a wedding we shot a few years ago. Replacing that plastic white hanger with a wooden hanger would completely change the look of the image.

Notice her new last name is written in the wire!
