Anyone planning on purchasing a second short cocktail dress to change into during the reception?
It seems like such a good idea (especially if you plan on having a major dance party) but I don't think I could bring myself to take off my wedding dress.

I think I am just going to try and find something that is comfortable to dance in for the entire day. I can't see buying a dress costing hundreds (or thousands ) of dollars without wearing it all night. It's bad enough that it is just for one night! IMO. If I had tons of money, I probably would because it would be fun to do 'costume changes.' So if you can/want to, I say go for it!

I have plenty of time to think about. Most likely I won't wind up doing it because of the whole $$ point you mentioned... but it is a fun concept.

Re: Short dresses to change into?
im doing it. im not 100% in love with my first dress so i bought a second dress thats more of a party dress and totally not traditional. i opted to take a chance and buy from peridress so im not sure how its going to come out. i guess ill find out in a month of so. also i dont want to walk around and dance in a big puffy dress. i rather have a lighter easier to walk in dress for the reception.

Re: Short dresses to change into?
OMG so happy to see this post...I just bought a 2nd dress on Sat. If you are looking for something different and not too expensive, go to Davids bridal. I got a 50's style dress which is SO comfortable and it was on sale. I also got my shoes to match in the clearance section and they gave me an additional 10% off since I bought them with the dress. Totally worth it because my dress has a corset and is so uncomfortable. I'm going to change into it to cut the cake. Its so cute and playful...I can't wait!
hmmm... imo, i don't think i'd want to take off my beautiful wedding dress for the ENTIRE day of my wedding.
i did a quick search online though, and found this absolutely beautiful gown - not sure if it's vivienne westwood inspired or is actually made by her. now, if i were to have that... it WILL make me think of changing outfits....

Re: Short dresses to change into?
I have a second dress but changing when we come out at reception. I am Just asking, but you girls doing it for cake cutting, are you doing extended hours for dancing at reception? I feel like that is the last thing I will do and all my dancing will be way beforehand...
My reason for second dress is I will wear first for ceremony, pics, and CH. It's beautiful but long and traditional. I wanted funky for dinner/dancing/after party.
My first dress was under 1k so spending 70 on second was ok for me!

I would but I really want all of my wedding day pics to be in my wedding dress. FH wants to afterparty in the hotel we're staying in, so I may buy something for that.

I am a Maggie Sabelle Bride, and everyone who has tried that dress on knows how heavy it is!! I love the dress more then anything but i do not know how i am going to feel all day in it. I was thinking of searching high and low for a nice nice white short comfy dress. Have it ready to go in the bridal suite(with tags still on it of course) and if i really must change, at least i know i have an option. If not, have mom return it for me while im on my HM!

I also had an idea of surprising my Bridesmaids and buying their dress, just in white. Now my Matron is on this site as a 09 Bride(woot-woot, she is getting married on sept 13), i know she wont tell my girls, lol. I jjust really really really really want the shoes my girls are wearing on my big day, lol Just ideas that flow through my head
