Second dress for late night?

Sarah, on April 20, 2020 at 14:41 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 16
Anyone changing dresses? After the cake cutting I was thinking of slipping into something more comfortable/appropriate for partying (my actual dress has a big skirt).
I was thinking of something like this. Anyone else doing something similar? Second dress for late night? 1

    Thank you! I know what you mean about being the centre of attention. I do like it to some extent but it’s pretty draining. I know I’ll be over it by the end of the day!

    Initially I had the same mentality that I wanted to savour my dress for as long as possible! But now I think I’ll want to be comfortable by the end of the night

    That dress is really cute , if you’re dress has a big skirt it’s probably a good decision to change into something more comfortable so you can dance the night away. If you’re anything like me I actually hate being the centre of attention it makes me feel so awkward.

    I've had many friends who refused to change into a different dress simply because they spent a lot of money on their wedding dress and it's literally the only time they'll ever wear that thing so they are maxing out their bang for their buck so to speak. This includes big poofy dresses to slimmer/shorter dresses.


    That being said, it's common for brides of different cultures to change into different non-white dresses multiple times throughout the reception. Do what makes you comfortable.

    My dress is with the seamstress as well. I was lucky to get in one fitting before this happened, so if our wedding does go through in Aug then it should be ready.. guess we’ll see.
    That sounds cool I was debating another bridal gown too but I think I’m going this route

    So pretty. I don’t think I’ll change simply because my dress is low key/low maintenance enough that I won’t have to recruit a team to help me pee 😂 But if it were more elaborate I would absolutely consider an outfit change for the dance. I also feel like if you order/buy a dress along these lines, and ultimately decide against changing into it for the reception, it would still make a super cute get up for a shower/bachelorette/rehearsal party/basically any other wedding related event.

    I like this idea. I was not planning on changing later in the night but I also ordered a dress in case we decide to elope. My original dress is at the seamstress and won’t be able to go to any other fittings until this is over. If our second wedding date does go as planned I would probably change into my second dress later in the night. It’s also a bridal gown but a more relaxed vibe.

    Yeah exactly! I think by that point in the night I’ll want to blend in more with the guests too as I’ll get tired from being the centre of attention.

    Haha who can say no to buying another dress!!! Go for it!!

    I think it's a great idea, especially if it lets you move around and dance with your guests easier.


    I hadn't planned on a second dress, but since our plans might change I might have a different dress for our elopement in 2020 and our reception in 2021. I'm thinking about using it as an excuse to buy the second dress I fell in love with while dress shopping!

    I am not planning on doing that since the skirt on my dress won't be too big, but I love the idea! And I think the dress you shared is really cute.
