Reception Wedding Dresses Can Be Modern and Comfortable

The general idea of having two wedding dresses is that the one for the ceremony will be more traditional and formal and the reception gown will be more of a fun party style wedding dress. This can be a great idea for many reasons. It can be a nice way for a bride to compromise between the gown her mother envisions and the style that she prefers, especially for a church ceremony. The bride's mom can have the classic wedding dress she imagines, but the bride can also have a fun and modern dress for her reception.



Some brides opt for a more playful and informal look by wearing a little white dress such as the strapless tea length reception wedding dress, which often features ruched detail on the a-line skirt. Another sweet, striking style is the chiffon dress with ruffles.



Many of these strapless, short chiffon reception wedding dresses feature a ruffled top and delicate floral accents. For even more embellishments to the chiffon dress, brides may want to consider a dress with a peek-a-boo hem, which perfectly complements this dress' ruched bodice, which consistently creates and accentuates a flattering shape. A short reception wedding dress generally costs less and often range in price from $100 to $300, but of course, the sky is the limit.


A knockout reception wedding dress can help you make the most out of the big party following your wedding. Although many brides choose to stick with their dress from the ceremony, switching to a more comfortable gown, even for part of the night, can make a big difference in your mood and overall enjoyment. Take these head turning styles as your cue to find the reception wedding dress that's right for you.

Some Tips on Choosing Reception Wedding Dresses

The number of brides who opt to wear one bridal gown for the wedding ceremony and then change into a different dress for the reception has skyrocketed. If this trend appeals to you, here are some suggestions on how to pick the perfect second dress for your wedding reception.


While not a "requirement," reception wedding dresses are an especially good idea for brides with a wedding dress that is voluminous, bulky, or tight - a wedding dress you don't want to risk ruining around food and drinks or simply haul around all night. Some wedding dresses are practically impossible to dance in; for instance, a mermaid wedding dress is notorious for constricting a lot of movement. Whereas your wedding dress is traditional and formal, the reception gown is meant to be more fun and modern.


One of the main reasons to select a different dress for the reception is to be comfortable for dancing. Be sure to keep that in mind when shopping for a reception gown. After all, if your second dress is no more comfortable than your first, your wardrobe change, while stylish, won't be especially practical in terms of enhancing your enjoyment of your reception. The second gown should have either a short train or no train to reduce the weight and a more manageable skirt fullness to make dancing the night away fun and easy.


Short or tea length reception wedding dresses are very popular now. In addition, choose a little white dress that still looks very bridal so that you don't end up blending in with the guests once you have made your change.


Whichever flattering style a bride chooses for her wedding reception gown, it's important to keep one thing in mind: take a breath, let loose and have fun. It's also comforting to remember that any bride can wear her reception wedding dress again, unlike most traditional wedding dresses. Enjoy the party!
