I am confused to this subject because I have heard different things. I have heard that if you plan on a private ceremony, elope or destination wedding and then have the reception after you get back, the bride should NOT wear her gown because she is already married. But, if you have the traditional wedding with the reception right afterwards, brides are expected to wear their gown BUT aren't you already married as well? This does not make any sense to me. I do not know why the bride who elopes or has the destination wedding cannot wear her gown a couple weeks later when they have the reception. What makes this confusing is that some brides DO wear their gown at their reception wether it is traditional right after the ceremony OR if it is delayed a couple weeks.
Any Advice?
