I did it! I decided I'm too indecisive and I NEED to have a reception dress LOL.
So I have my dress and I am in love with it but still find myself second guessing because my dress is a beautiful tulle sweatheart a-line that is so airy and beautiful but i also want a fitted and a bit sexy lace dress. There has been this dress on Lulus that I have loved from the get go and cant stop thinking about but didn't go for it because its just not super bridal to me. I was having major FOMO about it so i bit the bullet and just had to get it, it was $78 so I couldn't pass that up right!? I decided that I will use this as my reception dress because it has straps and just seems a bit more comfy than my ceremony dress.
My question to those of you that have/had a reception dress, when did you change into it?? Did you wait until after the first dance or did you change into it before you entered the reception space? We are not doing a first look so all of our pictures will be after the ceremony but I also only have my photographer for 6 hours so she will most likely leave after the dances are done and I would like a few pics in my reception dress too. I could potentially ask her to stay for like a half hour to snap some shots if I change after the dance but I worry that I will be too busy with guests by that point.
