graciousness, a lost skill
I think what you designed for her was very thoughtful. I think the recipient should explain herself further and whatever she was trying to communicate to you could have been done kindly and clearly.
Based on DD's wedding photos and her strong feelings on them, I think that some brides just have a preference for how they look in their pictures. I think it's very, very, very difficult to predict what a bride might like, especially in a personalized gift. This is why I always use the bridal registry, LOL. Regardless, she should have accepted the gift with grace, and just set the gift aside if she doesn't want to wear it at this time. If she wished to use a different photo she could have had the picture swapped out after your gracious offer. I'm hopeful that you will extend her even more grace by forgiving her and not allowing it to come between you.

You went above and beyond and have no reason to feel bad, at all. She has the problem in how she reacted towards you and that was really uncalled for! People can be strange and maybe she didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but she should have been thankful and either not said anything more about it, or chosen her words more thoughtfully. Maybe she had an off day, and is not normally like this, but you were kind and a special gift like that any bride should have loved!

I wouldn't worry about it. You did a nice thing and you told her why you didn't use the pictures she sent - they didn't work. She didn't even know why you requested the pictures in the first place and you didn't have to have the locket made for her. Sounds like a very nice gift.
