Yes the real bride looks so much better. Also, I think she had it copied b/c from the one you gave. the work seems a little different and the color looks like a deeper shade of red. Just goes to show you that even the best designers can be beat! Also a model can never portray the joy, brightness, etc of a real bride (except I guess the day the model gets married)
Lighting also makes the colors look different..
I remember this pic was posted in bridal pics thread a long time ago.. And she was wearing a white HSY outfit at her valima.. I think it's the original..
