Can I Wear My Dress Two Weeks Later????

Jen&Rus · August 2010

Ok...so here's my dilemma.

My fiance and I are getting married on the beach in Destin, FL. The only people invited to the wedding are our close friends who will actually be in the wedding and our families. After the ceremony we are leaving for a cruise for our honeymoon and will not return for a week. Our reception is planned at a local venue where we live for everyone else to come to. It's scheduled for two weeks after our actual ceremony.

Can I wear my wedding dress to the reception even if it's two weeks after the ceremony? Is that tacky or acceptable?

HELP! I've gotton mixed reviews from my friends.

My SIL wore her wedding dress to her reception a couple of weeks after her destination wedding. A friend did the same. I will be wearing mine without the veil for our reception in California FI's dad and sister are hosting. The comments I heard at SIL's reception was that people were happy that they got to see her in her wedding dress.

I think it would be silly to NOT wear it. Seriously? You're going to pay all that money and have to have another dress that everyone else actually sees? REALLY?

I would wear the same dress. I just think that people would expect it to be the same dress... its your wedding dress.

I definitely think you should wear your dress for the at home reception. Everyone loves to see a bride in THE gown....so do it!

Totally do it!! I definitely would. I have had friends do that, and it is always appreciated so that everyone gets to see the fabulous wedding dress!
