Going Away Outfit Question

Mama Bear, on September 12, 2013 at 2:24 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 12

What are you wearing as your "going away" outfit when you leave your reception? I want to just wear my wedding dress, but contemplating if I should. We are going to a hotel that evening then flying out to Kauai the next day and don't want to take my wedding dress with me on the plane.....maybe I can see if the hotel can hold it for my mom to pick up? hmmmm...thinking out loud....what are your thoughts and what are you going to do?

    I rocked my dress. Can you have someone pick it up for you at the hotel before you leave?

    When my MOH got married, they left for their honey moon the next day. The hotel kept the dress in a safe closet and I picked it up for her.

    Talk to your hotel and see if they'd be willing to make arrangements for that.

    I think I could have my mom come and get it....I have two kids and they probably would like to see us off as well. Hmmm, I think that may work! Cool Beanz!

    Leaving in my dress! Which should be very interesting as we are leaving by boat! We don't leave for honeymoon until that Monday. Sunday I can pack up some other things and give them to my MOH who will take my dress/things back with her.

    Wedding dress. There's not really going to be a "going away." I'm pretty sure we're going to have to chaperone the cleaning up of things, and then hit the bar with our night owl friends and relatives.

    @ Andrea - leaving in a boat would be awesome! Hopefully you will get some pics of that, cuz that would make some pretty beautiful pics! Smiley smile

    When we leave the reception we are just walking the few minutes to the house so my dress will be fine and we leave for the honeymoon the next day.

    Same as Paris here, there won't be a "send off". People will just trickle out, and I'll stick around with the parents to make sure things are cleaned up, then hit downtown, still in my dress, with our friends!

    I rocked my dress for our sparkler exit, then changed into a short white dress for the after party.

    Weʻre just leaving our reception to go back to a resort for the weekend (maybe hit up a few bars if I feel up to it) so I will be leaving in my sexy reception dress. My mom is taking my wedding dress from the reception changing room cuz itʻs grandmaʻs and Iʻm crazy protective of it.

    Get your mom or MOH in on the conversation and see what they think.

    I left the reception in my dress and said I was going to change for the after party, but I didn't. I rocked that thing all night long. Best decision.

    Our wedding reception went to 2:00 a.m. I rocked that dress until the end! The limo came and picked us up at 2:15. We just said goodbye to anyone still left and headed to the hotel.
