[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you have a different wedding dress for the ceremony and the reception?

Why or why not? [/quote]

NP. Curious why you're asking, if it's just "I want to do this but am not sure if it's 'proper'" or if it's a case of "This is expected of me by family tradition/culture and I don't want to do it" or "We're having an argument over this and it's gotten stressful beyond just a fashion choice".....is there any context?

I had just one dress but the dress was not a long, full gown (it was comparable to a 1920s flapper dress, so calf-length and fitted, not puffy, no big skirt or train). And the reception was a luncheon, no dancing involved, though the dress would have been good for dancing -- no skirt for people to step on, no  train to haul around.

I think it all depends on what the reception and ceremony will be like. Long formal ceremony and bride wants a long dress, and/or a train, etc., but the reception is hours of dancing and eating and moving around table to table socializing? Then sure, why not have a different dress for the reception. But a dress that's shorter and appropriate for dancing and a lot of moving around to greet guests at a party.

It sounds crazy, though, to spend a fortune on a dress for a ceremony then spend again on a dress for a reception. [/quote]
