RH Dress Change - Is Anyone Doing This?

I was thinking about changing into another dress an hour before the reception ends. This way my parents can just take the dress home and I will not have to worry about it getting ruined on the way to the hotel or even attempting to get out of it by myself.

How does everyone feel about changing from your wedding gown into another dress?

im staying in my dress the whole time! i love it soo much that i dont wanna take it off. i figured you only get to wear it for one day so why not make mthe most of it!

The day goes too fast! I didn't even want to take 5 minutes to go to the bathroom cause I'd miss a good song. I wore mine to the hotel and DH and my friend staying at the hotel did all the button loops. By the end of the reception your dress will be flithy anyway.

I thought about doing this because I really won't be able to get down on the dance floor like I want to in my gown, but then I also thought about the $$$ I paid for my gown and the cost of buying another dress. Since I will only be wearing my dress once might as well get the most out of it for the $$$

Honestly the day goes by soooo fast that I don't even think it's worth it.

i changed about 10 minutes before the reception ended, at the reception hall.... adn then sent my dress home with my mom. i didn't want to take my dress off TOO soon AND i didn't change into anything too fancy... just a casual skirt and tee shirt....

I may be getting married in a castle in New Jersey and having an outside garden ceramony. I really want to use one dress for the ceramony and then another for the ballroom. I would have to find inexpensive dresses but someone told me a girl did this at her wedding and it was so freakin cool.....I loved the idea but who knows, a little much?

Not only do I want to wear my gown as long as possible, I also don't want to waste time changing while at my own reception. The day will go fast enough - why spend time away from the action when you don't have to.

What are the chances (seriously) of the dress getting ruined on your way home after the reception? Also, won't you have FH to help you change?

No way you could get me out of my dress at my wedding, but that's JMHO!

I contemplated this for like one second - then I realized that the day will go by quickly enough as it is. I do not want to waste any time getting out of my (big) dress and putting on another. Besides, my mom bought my dress as a gift to me and I really lllllllove it, so I want to have it on as long as possible!!!

me too

No, I wouldn't do another dress... FH is going to have to pry mine off of me after the wedding!!!!!

FH and I both changed like 1/2 an hr before the reception ended. I'll post pics as soon as I can. I agree the day does go by really fast, but it was so much easier to dance and move around after i changed. Besides we were leaving for our hm the next morning so we sent my dress and the tux back home with my parents.
