Usually in church you have the train....and then you bustle it when you get to the reception so you can dance!!!!!!!!!!

I was told you have the train out for the ceremony and first dance. I think I'm supposed to hold my train over my arm while we have our first dance. Then it gets bustled for the rest of the night.

I think you bustle it after the ceremony. But I have the same issues as you -- I'm worried about it getting wrinkled in the limo.

That's right, I think. But my train was so darn heavy, I took it off after the church.

i think it gets bustled after the first dance...my gown has finger loops on it to hold the train up during the dance and while walking around on stairs, etc.

You're supposed to bustle after the first dance but FH and I are doing a choreographed first dance and there's no way I can carry the train over my arm so I think you should do what is best for your circumstance

This is what I did and for those of you worried about sitting - I never really sat back in the limo - my dress was kind of just smooshed up behind me, if that makes any sense

I bustled after the pictures and before the reception. I wanted the train in my pictures, but I didn't want to dance with it. So for my first dance it was bustled.

I bustled as soon as I got out of the ceremony. I can't imagine having dealt with the train through all of CH and the first dance

I bustled only right before we were introduced in the reception... You usually take pics of it before the reception unbuslted...
and i think dancing your first dance without it will look weird..

Yeah this is what I am doing, esp. if it is nice out and we get to go out on the boat at CHateau La Mer before cocktail hour....wouldn't want the train down there.
