An admittedly odd question

So my wedding and reception are going to be outside unless their is rain (we do have a backup plan). It is going to be very casual. I was wondering if it would be weird if after the photo moments (cake cutting, dance, ect) is would be strange if I changed into pants? I should say that I mean really casual, like me and the bridemaids would probably be the only ones in dresses anyway.

    If it were me, I wouldn't change because this is the only time you get to wear your wedding dress ever. But, this is your day. Take the pants and if you feel like changing, go for it. If you decide you'd rather not, it won't hurt still having them there just in case.

    Well, you can wear whatever you want, of course.  However, if it were me, I would keep my dress on as long as possible and if I got cold, I would put on leggings or something and a cover-up of some sort.

    I want to wear my dress for as long as possible, but if you want to change out of it during the reception just let your BM's know that you don't intend to stay in your gown all night so that they bring something more casual to change into if they want to.

    I've already told my BMs they can change if they want to. At first I was thinking that I should stay in my dress because you usually only wear your wedding dress once but the beauty of mine is that I can wear it again. Here is a pic if it I have some time to think about this. I probably will go back and forth until the day of my wedding then make a last minute decision. Lol

    Your dress is beautiful! I still wouldn't want to change, but again, this isn't about me or anyone else. It's completely your choice. If you want to change, no one will think badly of you. And if they do, their opinion doesn't matter anyway, it's your wedding.

    I dont understand why you would consider changing into pants?  You arent comfortable in a dress? So why even get married in a dress?

    Hey, what you wear is one of those things you can truly stomp your feet about and say "It's my day!" about and no one gets to judge.

    But...(personal opinion coming)...

    your pretty dress looks like it's made for dancing and laughing! I personally think it would be a crime to change out of it and into pants (I also hate all pants that aren't made primarily out of spandex, so there's that).

    What's your reasoning for the change? Feeling overdressed/uncomfortable?

    Honestly my main thinking here is that because I very rarely wear dresses and I'm sort of a klutz, I'm worried I'll do something stupid and end up accidentally flashing eveyone. I know it is a little silly but I can't help but worry about it. @molly&domenic and @pdkh thank you! I absolutely love my dress.

    Your dress is beautiful!  And it looks perfectly suited to dancing and having fun, and perfect for outside.  I think it's lovely.  But if you want to change, go ahead and change.

    Have you thought about what kind of pants outfit you would wear?  Maybe skinny tailored dress pants and a romantic flowy shirt?  Or are you thinking about jeans?

    If it were me, at a horse farm, I might put on comfy equestrian boots with the short dress.  That look is really cute, especially if you have great legs. *ETA: not that I have the greatest legs in the world lol!  Maybe by the time my wedding rolls around and all the squats start kicking in... :)

    @jcbride2014 thank you! I haven't thought about what I would change into yet. I have already bought shoes though. I'm wearing this cute pair of TOMS that my mom bought me. She bought them because they match the dress and I probably won't fall in them.

    Well lol, make sure you wear some heavy-duty panties! Have you "played" in the dress a bit? Just put it on and wandered around the house? I've honestly done that with my stupid giant dress, and it helped me feel a little more human and natural in it. I put it on, did a lap around the house, sat down at my computer, and answered a couple emails.

    What shoes are you wearing? You could also change into some cute flat sandals that might help you feel like you have solid footing. 

    Of course change if you want to (you should feel comfortable on your wedding day), but like I said, that dress deserves to be worn if you ask me!

    I'd get a cute little pair of booty-shorts to wear under the dress, so if you accidentally DO flash anyone, it's not like you're flashing your panties. I do that regularly when I wear short, flirty dresses in the summer. It just makes me that much more confident in what I"m wearing.

    I was going to say exactly what @MandyMost said. Get some cute little shorts to wear under your dress if that's what you're worried about. Your dress is so cute and it is definitely begging to be worn to party in :)
