I'm having a small wedding (70 people) in July, in a beautiful garden! I want to surprise my groom (and guests) with an impromptu belly dance. I have been so passionate about belly dancing and everyone knows it!
So here's my question; do you think I should buy a white belly dancing costume, or try to dance it in my wedding dress?
I do not have a dress picked out yet, but if i decide to dance in it, it MUST be a certain type of dress. !:)
Re: Bellydancing Bride at reception?
The one way that I could possibly see this working is if you could incorporate it into your first dance (or father-daughter dance, though I think that would probably be weird) somehow. The only times I've seen any sort of performance by the bride and/or groom come out cool instead of awkward was in the context of a choreographed spotlight dance of some sort.

Something being planned ten months in advance isn't impromtu. It would be a surprise for your groom and uncomfortable as hell for the rest of the guests, but not impromptu.
This. My cousin's exhusband played guitar and sang a song, one of HIS songs, at their wedding. I'm surprised the church allowed this. He was actually focused on his audience rather than singing it to her. It was pretty awful.
