Reception dress Yay or Nay

Vonetra224 · July 2012

Hey ladies,

I was thinking about getting a second dress to wear at the reception. So I came across this dress: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Strapless-Stretch-Charmeuse-Fit-to-Flare-Skirt-45328_Sale-Sale-Bridal-Gowns. I like this dress but I need a second opinion.

If I order the dress it will be here on time and my wedding is on July 27th.

What do you think??? Yay or Nay

T.I.A

What does your first dress look like?

This is me in my wedding dress

This is the back of it

honeybear072012 · July 2012

Wow! That would be a huge change!

I love your first dress and I don't think you should change out of it.

pillsburyaj · July 2012

I love it but nay. Your wedding dress is stunning - I'd want to keep it on all night!

Vonetra224 · July 2012

Honeybear072012- Thanks! When I tried the dress on at my fitting it was a tab bit heavy. I guess with the full getup made the dress heavy.

Vonetra224 · July 2012

Thanks, pillsburyraj! I don't know what to now...

I completely agree!! It's gorgeous! Though I can understand your worry about it being too heavy. I'm a little worried about the heat with mine, but I know I won't be taking that thing off for as long as I can haha!

Vonetra224 · July 2012

Thanks, Nati05! Lol I know what you mean! I have two layer of tulle and a full bridal slip underneath. Just talking about it makes me sweat lol

honeybear072012 · July 2012

Yeah, I get you about it being hot. My dress is satin over layers of tulle and it's HOT! I just think it's too pretty to change out of!

NAY! not that the dress isnt beautiful. People ask me if im going to do this and I tell them I didnt spend XYZ to change into something else that costs a little more less!

mekiakoo · July 2012

I wouldn't, but because I can't see myself spending money on another dress that I'm just going to wear for a few hours.

Lisariqua · July 2012

The second dress doesn't have the WOW factor that your first dress has. I wouldn't buy the dress.
Your first dress is simply beautiful!!! LOVE it!!Don't take that dress off. LOL

AllyG303 · July 2012

I say nay. It seems like such an afterthought this close to the wedding. I think if you had really wanted a second dress for the reception, you would've gotten it long ago.

Vonetra224 · July 2012

Thanks ladies! I decided not to get the dress and wear my wedding dress all night

littlemoments324 · July 2012

NAY!

mbody · July 2012

Nay... Your first actual dress is too pretty to change out of.

Corybabe01 · July 2012

I agree with the other girls. Your bridal gown is gorgeous! I don't think you should get the 2nd dress.

tealeyedangel · July 2012

I will echo everyone else and say NAY.

Does your dress busle? that would be my only reason for changing is if it didn't busle because I wouldn't want someone to step on the train.

Your first dress is beautiful!

I am doing a dress change possibily but that is because mine doesn't busle so it's on my BM and everyone to see if we can get it to busle with safety pins or not if I change.

I have the EXACT same wedding dress! I, myself, am considering a second dress because it is heavy!! I had my bridal portraits yesterday and after 2 hours I was miserable

That being said, it is absolutely gorgeous and I'd hate to not wear it the whole time. I got SO many compliments from people passing by!
