Weddingbee Blog
One of our advertisers just contacted us because a website posted an ad she has on weddingbee on their site (without permission). When I clicked over, I thought that the bride character on the front page was awfully familiar looking. What do you think?
Uuuummmm…..YEAH!!!! Too similar for comfort……better make some changes and pronto!!! There’s only one Weddingbee bride…..
Wow… I’d say that’s dangerously close to copyright infringement.
maybe they are related?
I joke, but yeah, looks like you got a copycat. 
What’s the site?
Wow, that is seriously unethical. But, unfortunately, I do not think it is close enough to be copyright infringement.
Bee’s bride is much sweeter and cuter–the copycat looks pretty devious to me.
SO NOT COOL!
I think it is absolutely close enough to be a copyright infringement!
They literally mirrored the bride - even all the colors used are the same.
is this grounds for copyright infringement?
Our bride is such much better looking and her flowers too! 
(but yeah the brides do look similar….)
hahaha…she gave herself bigger boobs.
I’m not sure there’s much you can do. As long as 15% of the image is changed (what the graphics department has been told), there’s no issue. Well besides the fact that it’s not good business practice.
Are the words “Wedding Bee” on the image anywhere?
I really think it could be close enough to potentially infringe upon the copyright. The two brides are extremely similar. In what capacity was the bride used (what type of advertisement)? I know a bit about copyright law and fair use from a class I took in law school, so if you want to email me on this subject, feel free!
hair, dress, necklace, bouquet, coloring, posture, veil ALL THE SAME
They do look similar. I think our bride is much classier looking w/ a prettier bouquet.
Wow. That’s a total knockoff. Why do people do things like that?
Yup. Too close to call a coincidence.
Is Weddingbee and the bee bride image copyrighted? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…
BTW - the other girl’s bouquet is WAY too big for her and she’s holding it all wrong! (My effort at cattiness.)
