Get a second dress!!

Michelle, on October 7, 2019 at 11:51 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 9
To all the brides who are trying to decide about a second dress, get one!! Even if you don't think you need it I would advise you to get one! Even if it's a simple Amazon white dress. I did not think I would even put mine on at all, I was determined to wear my A-line dress all night but after hours of dancing I started to feel like I was over heating even though my dress was extremely light and flowly, by the time it was 7:30 I told the coordinator that I wanted to do the bouquet toss so I could change after. Get that second dress even if you don't think you will need it!!

    Yes! I told myself I paid too much for a dress that will only be worn once so I was going to wear it all night. In my case that would also mean wearing 5 inch heels ALL NIGHT so reception dress shopping I went!

    I bought mine from Amazon for like 40 dollars cause I didn't want to spend nearly as much as I did on my gown, I told everyone I would rather have a second dress and not need then not have one and need it. I'm Soo happy I got one!! Even though I told everyone I was going to wear my dress all night after how much I paid for the dress and alterations LMAO

    I say get one! Especially if you think you will do a lot of dancing lol I ended up getting soo hot and started sweating that I changed an hour before the wedding ended! Plus I think its better to have one as a just in case you need to change rather then not having one and wishing you had an extra dress to change into. Plus if you don't use it just return it or exchange it for something else. I was honestly not going to have a second dress until my husband (omg still getting use to that lmao) told me I should have one just in case lol

    I’d say yes!!! I’m getting married November 2020 and it’ll most likely be cold in Chicago so I’ll be wearing a long sleeve wedding dress. I know it’ll get extremely hot once we get to the reception and start moving around and dancing so I decided to get a second dress, the fun part is that you can coordinate with the bridesmaids 😂😁 at least that’s what I’m doing

    Exactly! My wedding is not for another month and few days but I fell in love with a dress at DB and it wasn't expensive at all so I said to myself "How would I logically explain to FH why I need another dress to wear at the wedding?" Lol I would break my ankle trying to dance all night in my heels 😂 Short dress and flats for the win!

    Get a second dress!! 1

    Lmao I got a similar dress as my bridesmaids, they all had different dresses just but they were all lace and burgundy and off of amazon lol so I got a white lace second dress but also made sure it wasn't the same as any of their dresses

    I really wanted to find another white dress, I tried on so many in different stores but none were flattering what so ever, I looked like a potato in them. I got an outfit instead, a thin pink long flowy sleeved shirt and white pants but then I didn’t like it after , so I went looking again, still couldn’t find a white dress or even close to white that looked good, I tried on a black dress with blue flowers and my FH really liked it so I was like whatever with the white. Bought it. Now I’m like. Ehhh I will stand out in a bad way. Wedding is like 10 days out and I’m still nervous about what to wear at the reception. I’m a very curvy girl, and I definitely have a belly on me so my ball gown wedding dress is perfect. But I can’t wear it all day it’s heavy. And I only like floor length/sleeved dresses. I don’t even know what to do, any ideas?
