Changing out of my wedding dress?

Following... I'm thinking of getting something like that to be more comfortable. I'm just going to Google it. ETA: I'm eloping and having an afternoon wedding. I'd consider changing later that night after dinner or the next day while continuing the festivities with family. I saw some on Etsy if you're interested.

I've never seen this before. But I will probably sleep in my dress I love it so much lol

I agree with Red2018 I love my dress so much I'd want to wear it as long as possible.

There are two reasons why I changed out of dress into a "more comfortable" dress:

1. I was wearing a ball grown, and the heat index was 115 degrees.

2. I didn't trust my husband to take off my gown after we got home/figured we'd be tired for all of that. lol

I'm having an outfit change after daddy daughter dance and those important spots because I'll be in a ball gown. but then im changing into just a short cute white dress like this one mainly because of dancing (my BM's and I are surprising the groom with a dance) i agree that it may be out of place for y'all to be in comfortable relaxed clothes while guests are still in fancy attire

I'm not paying a lot of money for my wedding dress just to change later during the reception because I'm uncomfortable..

If you are going to have an afterparty then change before you head to that. I wouldn't change out of wedding attire until the reception is over. I changed into a more comfortable summer dress before we headed to the bar.

A track suit does not belong at a wedding. None of your guests are able to change into something "more comfortable " so be a good host and don't change. AND enjoy wearing your wedding dress as you only get to wear it once!

No way... That's not ok in my opinion. Your guests aren't going to be showing up with a change of clothes so why would it be ok for the bride and bridesmaids to get to change into sweats?

I would never do this. First of all, I love my dress and I made sure to find something comfortable. Second, if I was a guest I would be mad if the BP was in track suits and I was still dressed up

I was at a wedding once where the bride came out right after dinner in jeans and a white tshirt. As a guest, I wore a dress. I was a little annoyed that I had to be in something dressy for the semi-formal wedding, and the bride was more underdressed than anyone. So, while I think changing is fine, just make sure you're not more under dressed than your guests.

Thank you all for your input! I was considering it but I probably won't as some of you mentioned a wedding dress is once in a lifetime and I'm most likely going to want to wear it all night anyway lol!

Would that be during the reception or afterwards? I don't think I would do either honestly. The first time my dress will come off is for my FH. I think having cute outfits for the night before and morning of would be nice. If you want to incorporate the track suits as part of your reception then by all means do it and have fun, but make sure you consider that wedding dresses are usually a one day wear so you may want to keep it on and be that glamorous bride as long as you can!

I don't think I'll ever take my dress off. If anyone in the BP wants to change they can go right ahead. No skin off my back. I'm all about comfort.

@alforev my wedding is on a Friday and ends at 1am, so I was just considering it for comfortability lol! You just gave me a great idea tho, we can probably wear them the next day or after my reception is over, since the party will still continue (I have a huge Mexican family, so of course the party will continue at someone's house LOL). Thank you for your suggestion !

Glad I could help! My wedding is on a Friday as well so I definitely get where you're coming from. You actually gave me the idea of having cute outfits for brunch the following morning.

I'm not a fan of dresses especially for a reception but if you're having an afterparty, slip out and change afterward! At her wedding, my MoH changed out of her gown into an ivory jumpsuit for the afterparty at a Brooklyn bar/concert venue.
