Is anyone doing a second dress for the reception ? I Love my dress but I'm wondering how the heck I will be able to dance in it! I have a big ball gown. Im contemplating getting a second dress but my mom and FI think its crazy.
Lots of girls get reception dresses - it's very common. For me personally, I don't think I could have changed my dress, I loved it too much. And even though the bustle broke and it tore a little from people stepping on the dress during the evening, I just swung the train over my arm and danced away with no problems.
I got a second dress, but I don't think I'll change into it until the after party - I love my dress so much and don't think I'll ever want to take it off!
I had a ball gown and wore it all night long. Once it was bustled, it barely even felt like a ball gown anymore b/c I didn't have to carry the train around.
Thanks everyone, I have a detachable train so I guess it would be ok ,I was more so thinking about the weight of the dress but I guess I will get used to it. I think I'll get an after party dress & bring it with me maybe change into it after the cake cutting depending on how I feel.
its common to get a second dress...i am not doing it because i love love love my gown and dont want to change lol and we are doing a second dance as well
I;m thinking of a second dress to wear for the 'Extra Hour' we have but not sure if I will do it or not
I think it would be nice to have a second dress for the reception but I am paying too much for the first dress so I cannot afford it. Also my dress is so pretty that I wouldn't only want to wear it for a couple of hours and then change. If I was going to do this I would have bought a cheap dress for the ceremony and then a nice one for the reception.
I can understand were u are coming from ..dancing in that would be hard...i was thinking myself about gettting a second dress but i have a mermaid dress and for some crazy reason i feel that i wont be able to move ...but i dunno yet ..i will see when the time gets there ...
I actually have a friend that bought a second dress for her wedding; but when it came time to change, she couldn't bare to take it off! she wore it to the morning-after brunch.
