Hey ladies! Alright, let’s all be honest,
the wedding industry has changed A LOT since our beautiful mommas walked down
the aisle, am I right? And one of the trends that has been on the rise in the
more recent years is having a reception dress, along with your
ceremony gown, for your big day. Let’s explore that a little bit, shall we?
There are some great reasons to have a
separate dress for your reception. Reason number one: if you have always
dreamed about having an elaborate, beautiful grand gown gracing your bridal
body when you float down that aisle towards the man of your dreams, maybe you
haven’t quite considered how hard that baby may be to mingle, dance, and
celebrate in at your beautiful reception. So why not have a reception dress to
change into? Look at it as a time to show more of your personal style, whereas your
ceremony gown may have been perfect for highlighting your bridal style. The
reception dress may be influenced by your bridal gown or it may even be of a
different style altogether. The reception dress can be long or short, either
way. There really aren’t any rules as to what “qualifies” as a reception dress.
The main focus here is comfort and hopefully that it does not require help from a
bridesmaid in order to use the ladies’ room. Secondly, climate and the theme of
your reception are factors that should definitely be considered when choosing
whether or not you want to incorporate a reception dress into your special day. For example, maybe
you’re getting married outdoors in the Texas
summer and would like something a little more airy and easy to party in after
you’ve said “I do.” If so, go for it! Here are just a few styles that we have
in our bridesmaid collection here at Bliss that we think would be great
for reception dresses:
Let’s face it, some of you will want to
spend as much time as possible in your bridal gown on the day of your wedding, which is completely understandable! The way you see it, it is the gown you’ve chosen to get married in and since it’s a
once-in-a-lifetime experience, no one will be able to pry that thing off of you
until you’re boarding a plane to your Honeymoon! If this is you,
then GO GIRL! A reception dress is not for you and that's perfect!
All in all, the question that will ultimately
make the decision whether choose to have a second dress or not is quite simple:
"Do you want one?" One of the most exciting things about planning a
wedding nowadays is that you can personalize and tailor your wedding to pretty
much anything you want to do, as long as it fits in your budget. So, as always, stay true
to your vision, and remember that your dress (or dresses) is/are no exception to that rule!
