Bridal Reception Dress Biography
Source:-(Google.com.pk)
Reception dresses are a fairly recent phenomenon, though you can certainly wear one if you choose. I opted not to, because I loved my wedding dress and wanted to wear it as long as possible.
Generally, they're a bit more quirky/fun (many I've seen are cocktail length) and easier to dance in. If you Google "reception dresses," I'm sure you'll get a plethora of ideas!
Thanks so much for the feedback twilight.rose. I plan to dance a whole lot and my wedding gown may be a tab bit restricting. I think a short dress may be more appropriate. will definitely check google for reception dress ideas
Ditto to PP. I was just talking to FMIL about this last night and we both agree that often this was kind of a waste of money but it is definitely a personal choice. I can't imagine paying several hundred to several thousand dollars for a wedding dress and then only wearing it for a few hours. A lot can be done to change your look even in the same dress such as removing the veil, bustling the train, changing our headpieces, etc.
If you've been dreaming about your wedding dress for as long as you can remember, you may not have considered how restrictive, precarious and uncomfortable it can be to actually wear it on the big day. Having your maid of honor follow you into the bathroom so she can hold your train while you use the facilities is only one of the hassles that may be involved in looking amazing in the dress.
It's becoming more common for brides to lose the gown after the ceremony and photo ops are over in favor of an outfit that's little more user-friendly. A quick wardrobe change can mean a lot to a bride who plans on dancing all evening and doesn't want to worry about itchy layers of crinoline or torturous undergarments.
This dress caught my eye in the David's Bridal catalogue when I first started looking for dresses. I ultimately decided on a long gown for the ceremony and pictures, but I'm revisiting the idea of using it as a reception dress (see the painted shoe posts above). I think I'll stop into David's Bridal one day this week and see if it's part of the $99 sale. If it is, I'm so getting it....
Today’s wedding showcases how lovely Fall can be in Tennessee! Ami and Andrew planned a romantic pink and apricot wedding at CJ’s Off the Square, a lovely garden venue in Nashville. The florals are likely our favorite part—we love the pastel-accented twist on the traditional colors of Autumn foliage! Special thanks to Dove Wedding Photography for sharing the day with us.

Watch out! Katie and Joe’s rock ‘n roll real wedding is one for the books. These two meant business when they set out to plan a retro-inspired event featuring polka-dot everything (Katie’s favorite) and Joe’s perfectly suited, graphic design paper goods. The pair poured themselves into planning and with the help of the team at The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch, their dream wedding was brought to life! Photographer Liz Chrisman says, ‘Katie and Joe march to the beat of their own drum, and that was most definitely reflected in their off-beat, fun, rockabilly wedding.’ We couldn’t agree more!
Katie’s passion for polka dots started with the bridal party attire. From the wedding dress to the bridesmaid’s frocks, all of their vintage-chic attire was sourced from Etsy designer Pixie Pocket. As for the invites, the very talented groom whipped up these rock ‘n roll paper goods in black and red to set the tone.
Of the ceremony, Katie says, ‘A moment that will always be special to me was while we were saying our vows. All day long it was supposed to rain. The sky was gray and the sun was hidden. I was terrified that this would be the death of my dream outdoor wedding. Of course the barn had planned an inside move if needed, but I was still nervous. The rain held off and when it finally started to drizzle while Joe and I were exchanging our vows under the arbor, the rain sprinkled in a perfect circle around us. The trees were shaking off collected drops in such a manner that it looked planned! After the trees cleared their branches, the sun jumped out from behind a cloud and shined right on us. It was seriously like something out of a movie. Although we had dated for six years prior to our wedding, this was proof that rain or shine- we were meant to be together.’
Happy Monday, everyone! We’re starting off the week with a look at a classic crimson wedding between two West Point graduates. Stephanie and Johnny married in Hampton, Virginia on a rainy October day. Red rose floral arrangements and plenty of polished silver gave the day an Old Hollywood vibe, and we love that the bride was brave enough to pair a classic red lip with her fiery hair. Special thanks to Jen and Ashley Photography for sharing the day with us! You can see even more details (including close-ups of the bride’s stunning makeup) in our full gallery.
Stephanie and Johnny met as “plebes” at New York’s West Point Military Academy. Though they each had secret crushes on each other throughout that freshman year, it took living assignments on the same sophomore dorm hall to finally get the pair talking. For their first date, Johnny took Stephanie to a piano concert hosted by the school’s foreign language department. Academy rules prohibit PDA, but Johnny managed to sneak in a kiss at the end of the night.
Many guests experience a deep sense of anxiety when attending wedding receptions. They have good reason. Besides having to wear shiny, uncomfortable shoes and making small talk with strangers, they'll have to brave a gauntlet of confusing rituals both eye-rollingly corny and socially awkward, from the de-gartering of the bride to the cheesy three-hour photo montage of the happy couple kissing in different locations.
There's hope -- after all, things used to be worse. Traditions die out, which explains why wedding guests no longer have to break loaves of bread over the bride's head for luck or hang around to wait for evidence that the marriage has been consummated. But while there's been progress, we still have a long way to go. Coming up are 10 wedding reception rituals we wish would just go ahead and die already.
