Is it weird to wear a white wedding dress to post elopement reception???

Not odd at all! My cousin actually did that last year.

I don't think it's odd.

Host your event graciously, wear whatever you WANT! I think that sounds fabulous and amazing. I've always wondered for things like this (which I kind of wish we had planned on) do you still register, have a shower, do a first dance, cut a cake, etc.?

I feel like I can still register. . . I hope, lol. We are still providing meal and food and a good time to our guests. We probably will plan a night out with our close close friends in place of a bachelor/bachelorette party even tho we aren't having any groomsmen or bridesmaids. FH doesn't want a first dance, or speeches but I told him theres no way our parents are going to not say anything. But we wont have maid of honor or best man speeches. I wanted to do a short greeting when people first arrived and think it would be nice to thank folks for coming. I also think FH will get caught up in the atmosphere once it happens, a cake cutting or first dance could work their way in there

Second the go for it idea! I am sort of re-wearing my dress under similar circumstances. We are eloping and I am wearing separates to my actual wedding. I will wear the corset top with jeans to one reception, and my silk skirt with a sweater to another (two receptions - one in each of our home towns).

My cousin wore the same dress for her DW ceremony as the reception she had back at home.

I'm getting married in South Africa in July of next year and having my reception 2 months later, and I'm wearing my dress for sure!

It's you and your husband's day! Wear what you want! It's still a wedding celebration! Youre still the bride! Go for it!

I'm doing something similar, and I am for sure wearing my dress to the reception (mine is 2 weeks later). I'm pretty sure I won't have many opportunities in my life to wear something that fancy, so I'm taking full advantage.

Do it!

Wear what you want. If you want to wear white, do it. Its your day!

Not at all!

Not odd at all!

Not odd at all! Rock them both and have a great time doing so! It's a celebration!

I think you should wear whatever you want to!

Its your day do it!!!!

I don't think it's odd! Whatever you wanna do

If you love it...wear it

I'm planning on wearing my wedding dress again!

I'm doing very close to the same as you. With a ivory dress.
