Are you staying in your wedding dress the entire day?

So my dress is 3kg and I'm going to be wearing it all day from 12pm till 11pm. I was thinking I should change since it's so heavy and big, but my mother said it's the only day I will be wearing a wedding dress and I should stay in it till the end. Since my dress is ball gown I thought maybe I can...

Since my dress is ball gown I thought maybe I can get a white mermaid dress for reception?

Are you guys going to change your dress ? If so what kind of dress are you going to wear?

I would love to see them Smiley smile

    I wore my dress almost the entire time except for the last two hours when I wanted to dance!

    I had mine on from 11ish til about 9. I unzipped it on the ride home bc it wasn't all that comfortable sitting and the ride home was 1.5 hours.

    I'm staying in mine! I love it and the weight of it was a huge decision point when I chose it.

    I'm changing, ivory dress for the ceremony and a blush dress for the reception. FH loves the idea.

    I ended up buying a dress that was $500 over my budget. The dress I originally wanted was about $1100, and the one I ended up getting was $1600, so for the amount of money I spent, I will be wearing it all day! It is a ballgown too (David's Bridal Oleg Cassini, style CWG658) but a fairly light one.

    I'm actually still trying to decide... I love my dress but I'm thinking for the send-off I might put on something different. I know for sure there will be an outfit change for *surprise* but then, I'll either put back on my wedding dress or put back on the dress I'm thinking about changing into for the send off.

    I will also be staying in my dress al day. I paid too much to change and I doubt I will ever wear it again.

    I'm wearing mine from the ceremony until halfway into dancing or just after dinner

    I'll then change into traditional Nigerian Dress for the rest of the night.

    ETA: I didn't pay for my dress it was part of a nonprofit event for military brides. I am so thankful!

    Me and FI are hosting an after reception party at our hotel. We were thinking of getting personalized football jerseys from our college with our date on the back of them to wear at the after party. The jerseys will be comfortable and very "us." Other than that, I will be in my dress until the end of the reception.

    I will be! I wish I were wearing it now! Lol but it's not nearly as large/heavy as yours! Mine is a tea length dress, so wearing it all day will be no problem.
