Reception dress yay or nay?

Tlee0813

I'm just wondering how many of you all are changing dresses for your receptions? There seems to be a lot of brides buying wedding and reception dresses nowadays.

I dont plan on it. were on a tight budget and I dont want to spend all this money on a ceremony dress to just wear for like an hour so ill be wearing it all day

I don't plan on it either. I wouldn't knock someone who really wanted to, particularly if their ceremony venue called for an extremely formal dress that you really can't dance in. The skeptical part of me, though, feels like its a trend created to part us with more of our money.

I agree. Last night I was watching Say Yes To The Dress and this woman bought a wedding dress and reception dress and her budget for both was $30,000!! I was like wow it must be nice. What a waste of money!

I have been looking into convertible dresses....I initially wanted to change dresses but if I can find a convertible one that the bottom half jus unzip that would be more ideal for me

I will not be changing. The way I look at it is I am only getting married once, I will only ever get to wear my wedding dress once, I want to wear it as long as possible

This EXACTLY for me!

Just one dress for me! I don't think I could find another dress I liked better then the one I have anyway!

I am on a fairly tight budget as well, just one dress for me.

I think I might bring along a very simple, inexpensive (under $100) white dress to change into toward the last hour of the night just in case I get uncomfortable in the big dress. In the store it seems very comfortable, but I know sometimes just being in a strapless bra I'm like, "GET ME OUT OF THIS!" and I don't want to feel trapped at my wedding, ha.

yes ,i bought my dresses from this websites   www.kissdresses.com

not expensive ,u can say very cheap , but pretty beautiful  , i got 4 dresses from it ,i and my bridesmaid were   so excited when we got it ,it  surprised us  so much , i think we will order dresses from the website again ,so prominent , i love it .

I agree with some of the other girls posts; I will only be getting married once. I will only be wearing that dress once. I will only be a bride ONCE.

I want to wear my wedding dress as a bride for the entire day, not change into a party dress after the ceremony.

I think i'm going to do two dresses, but that's because I'm a costume designer and am going to make both. I just don't feel like I'll be able to let loose and really dance while wearing a constrictive formal dress.
