Wedding Dress(es)?!

Izzykern, on August 17, 2019 at 9:13 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Hi! I am torn between wearing my wedding gown the whole night or changing into a dazzling reception dress after dinner! I got my designer gown for $600 (A STEAL) and my mom suggested I at least look at reception dresses! Looking for suggestions and advice Smiley smile

    I think if it's in your budget then a reception dress would be a good idea. I didn't do that because I was lazy aha but I totally see the appeal of it. Changing into a gown that's easier to move in is nice.

    I changed after 4 hours, around 11 pm. Most everyone was there until about 12:30 am, then lots departed, leaving about 1/3 of our original guests, until 3am when we called it quits. It took let than 10 minutes to change, take down my hair and brush it out, wash my face and apply new minimalist look to go with new dress . But I felt refreshed just slipped back to the party. I don't know when my formal gown began to feel heavy, too much. But when I changed I felt lighter and more energetic again . And danced and danced

    We aren't planning a wedding (we're eloping), but if we were, I personally would want to keep my dress on all throughout the night. It's only one night that I'll get to wear my wedding dress, I definitely want to get my use!

    Reception dresses are fun! The glitterier the better. You could have a sexy old hollywood kind of dress or something fluffy and cute like a tea length swing dress to spin in. Just make sure you test out how well you can dance in them.

    I get three appeal to a second dress, and if sounds good to you and it's in your budget, I say go for it. Personally, I love the dress I chose, and I want to wear it as much as possible Haha

    I think reception dresses are nice but personally I would want to keep on my dress because I don't want my guest taking pics of me in a different, less "glam" wedding dress. I want my guest and I to look back and reminisce on how great my wedding dress was.

    Yes I totally feel this! My reception dress would be “more glam” because my wedding dress is all lace! I want a sparkly glam dress for my repetition to dance in!

    I spent weeks looking for the perfect dress for my reception and then ended up never changing into it because I wanted to spend the whole night in my wedding dress
