Reception dress

MLS, on July 22, 2020 at 1:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

I am wearing a modified version of my mom's wedding dress from the 80's and then I'll have a reception dress. Anyone doing the same? I want to see your dresses for inspo!

    I would love to see her dress and how you’ve modified it. That’s so cool!

    When I read 80’s my mind immediately went to my aunt’s wedding dress and the BM dresses she made her sisters wear! I wish I had pictures! The poofy sleeves!
    I think it’s sweet to use aspects of your mom’s wedding dress and modify it for you. I have wished throughout this process that we had some family heirlooms, and it makes me want to keep everything for our kids.

    That sounds so beautiful! I'm wearing my mom's veil - I love bringing a bit of your mom's marriage into your own!

    You only get to wear a wedding dress once as expensive as they are so most women prefer to wear them all day and night, not just 1 hour tops.


    Your idea sounds fun though.

    I’m kind of doing two dresses. I wanted two different looks so I had a detachable ballgown created to go over my crepe sheath gown. I’m wearing the tulle ballgown for the ceremony and through dinner/father daughter dance and then I will take it off before our first dance. I love the idea of two looks! Reception dress 1
