After Cake Dress

climbingsingle · April 2014

Ladies, in addition to the Ceremony Dress and the Reception Dress, we now have the After Cake Dress.

Yes, the tacky girl I know that posts on FB non-stop about her wedding is wearing an After Cake Dress too.

She's got time to have a wedding and a reception in between all these costume changes?

I have a ceremony dress, a cocktail hour dress, and a reception dress already. I guess it wouldn't kill me to get one for after the cake too. I wonder if I could get away with it being my Hello Kitty pajamas instead of a dress....

See, the Hello Kitty pajamas (with slippers) would be my Grand Exit ensemble.

Pft, I wouldn't have extra dresses. I'd just change immediately out of my dress after the ceremony into my usual uniform of t-shirt and yoga pants so I can get a food-baby out of our excellent reception food and then dance the night away in comfort.

I'm sure it wasn't her intention, but when I read that the first thing I thought was "You mean to imply you will get so bloated from eating so much cake you won't fit into your dress anymore???"

I'm so over the whole multiple dress thing. It was cool when I was a teenager watching say yes to the dress and I got to look at TWICE as many pretty dresses, but IMO it's just weird- I can think of plenty of better uses for the money (Even if you just spend it on other wedding-related stuff) than a second dress.

I am totally into convertible dresses, though. I've decided that I'll make the bottom layers of my gown removable- so when it's time to dance my dress will go from floor-length to knee-length and I get all the fun of a costume change/ all the freedom of not wearing a full length gown without having to have a whole new dress.

One of my friends did a second dress... she wore a white sundress for the reception. That didn't bother me at all, because she was clearly happy and more comfortable in it. Also it was short and had straps, so she could do the Time Warp better. But it baffles me when people think they need a second dress and spend thousands of dollars on it, and then it isn't even all that different from the first dress they wore. A third dress is even more confusing.

Also, Hello Kitty jammies rock.

I am considering changing my dress every time the song changes that way my pictures will all be different! I know, I know, I'm a genius. /sarcasm

I changed out of my wedding dress into another dress toward the very end of my reception because my wedding dress was super-complicated to get off and my mother was freaking out that DH would rip the buttons or something while trying to help me out of it and it's an heirloom and OMG.

It wasn't that complicated, but she was obsessing, so I gave it to her, because whatever.

I changed into the dress that I had worn to midnight Mass the night DH and I announced our engagement. He really, really likes that dress, and it seemed like a good symmetry.

I never understand why you would want multiple cheaper dresses instead of one killer dress and knockout accessories.

Maggie0829 · April 2014

People should make their outfit changes into magic tricks. Go behind a curtain, have the curtain drop (OMG she is not there), put the curtain back up, have the groom do some crazy hand movements, drop he curtain and ta-da, new dress!

My dress had all the buttons up the back. I kept it on the whole night and even wore it to the informal 'after party' at the bar next to the hotel. An hour or so later, I realized "SHIT! H is NEVER going to be able to undo these buttons." So I grabbed my mom and dragged her upstairs to help me get out of my dress. 30 seconds into her attempt I realized she'd been drinking. Drunk lady trying to undo those buttons? Hilarious. "..I need like.. a pen. Get me a pen." "Mother. You are not taking a pen to the back of my wedding dress."

I don't get a Grand Exit! FI and I will be the last guests to leave the venue since we will have to get our centerpieces, bathroom baskets and extra alcohol from the caterer before we leave (we get to take home any open containers of booze, whoo!). I think the jammies will be really appropriate for cleaning up after the wedding!

WTF

scarlettesong · April 2014

Woohoo! While I am having a dress change, this thread just gave me the perfect time to change into it! I'm changing into a short chiffon and lace $50 dress to go to the rodeo afterward, but I still wanted to do all the traditional things in my regular dress. After cake time is perfect! Thanks everyone!

I hated taking my dress off at the end of the night knowing I will never get to wear it again! So the thought of shortening that experience doesn't make sense to me.

You can wear it again! Probably not in public, but you can totally wear it.

One of my good friends put her dress on when she and her husband had their 1st Anniversary cake. Apparently he asked her to, because she'd been so beautiful in it and he wanted to see it again.

JennyColada · April 2014

I'd only do a dress change if I'm doing a dollar dance.

GET IT.

Good point. Makes me think of Friends, though.

I'm doing no dress change - I get one evening in my dress, and I'm taking full advantage!

Yea, I put mine on again on our first anniversary and then H grabbed me and started dancing with me. Apparently, H's mom would put hers back on at every anniversary and would dance with H's dad, and after they had kids, she still did it and they'd all watch. So H has really sweet memories of that so I think it's something we'll likely do. Plus, it'll give me good motivation to stay in shape!

That is maybe the cutest thing I've ever heard.

I guess I deserve a do over because I had one dress that I wore from before the ceremony until we got to the hotel? DH had to cut the ribbon on the inner corset- that was entertaining!

Climbing- now I have to save my dress so we can do that! And if all goes as planned, I'll have to take it in, hahaah!

That'd be nice, but I'd prefer the bridal party cover the bride in a circle with huge feathers, Vegas-style, before she comes out for the (second or third) big reveal.

ElcaB · April 2014

And speaking of reveals, I hope these brides are making sure their photographers capture a private second and third look.

That is very cute! I would love to do that!

Darn. I was hoping the she was talking about a dress to change into after she she wore a dress made of cake. Yum, cake.
Silly.

My seamstress almost has me convinced that my dress may be wearable after the wedding. It's rather simple organza dress with no beading or anything. She is doing an invisible bustle on it. I could definitely see it being wearable, but I don't know when I'd ever get a chance to wear a dress that formal again. Even if it's simple, its still a long, strapless A-line gown, which is formal no matter what. We are getting married on cruise ship, so I may wear it again for formal night on the cruise though... which happens to also be 5-year anniversary of dating my FI.
