Protecting my dress during cocktail hour...

Is there a way to protect your wedding dress from accidental spills during cocktail hour? The cocktail hour space is a bit tight at my venue and I don't know what I would do if someone bumped into me and spilled their drink/food on my dress... Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how much you can do to prevent someone from bumping into you. I feel like most people are very careful around the bride. I did some some good tips about what the bride should drink - try to only carry light colored drinks (white wine, champagne, water). That way if you trip or if someone bumps into you while you're holding something, it's less likely to stain.

Make sure you have shout wipes or a tide to go pen in the bridal suite.
