Do i need a bustle?

Anna, on May 5, 2018 at 7:48 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

I am wearing my long formal dress for only group pictures and the ceremony, then I’m changing into a short white party dress for the reception. My dress fits like a glove without any alterations, but the only remaining question is: do you think I would use a bustle for any reason? Do people bustle their dress while walking during pictures or something? I have never worn a dress with a train before. My train is “short” (a sweep train ~6 inches touching the ground). Can’t I just hold that back while I walk around for pictures? The wedding will be outside on a concrete winery patio..

    If you’re not wearing it all night I wouldn’t spend the money. You can get a wrist loop instead for walking around

    Don't spend the money on this. I'm in the same boat.

    No, save your money only if you're 100% certain you'll be changing into your reception dress.

    I absolutely agree... especially since it’s a sweep and they’re changing

    No, you don't need a bustle. This would be useful if you were wearing your dress all night. I just carried my train and veil draped over my arm or had someone carry them for me so they wouldn't drag on the ground for pictures.

    Mine was a sweep train and I didn't bustle it. I wore it all night with no issue.
