Before you even begin shopping for
your bridal gown I am sure you already know what type of dress you want. Most brides
have an image in their mind about how they want to look on their wedding day.
There’s a certain feel that every bride wants to portray.
This can all change when you go to try
on gowns, and fall in love with more than one. Of course the dresses will be completely
opposite styles, and now you are torn. Why not do both? As a planner, I have
been seeing this more and more. During the ceremony brides will wear the most
elegant, classic, traditional gown, but then during the reception they do a
wardrobe change and come out in a dress that really shows their unique
personality.
After wearing your amazing,
traditional, dress during the ceremony, you may find it is not functional for
the night of dancing, mingling and fun you have ahead. Go for comfort! Lets be
honest, your perfect dress is amazing but it can be heavy and stiff, and you
may be concerned about the delicate details. As a bride you may also be looking
for a WOW factor. Arriving to your reception in a different gown is a great way
to capture your guests’ attention when you walk in as MR. and MRS!
To be realistic, not all of us have
the budget to have both. Every wedding detail costs something and I know you
want to stay as close to your budget as possible. If you can’t afford a second
gown, why not look into convertible dresses? There are so many beautiful
dresses that can be worn during you’re traditional ceremony, but during the reception
the heavy train can be removed! How perfect is that? Two in one! You can also
change up the look of your gown by adding or removing sleeves or straps,
splashing a little bit of color with a ribbon or other detailing, or by
changing into fabulous shoes. This will definitely create a more fun, ready to
celebrate look!
So, you love your dress, but are still
looking to create a spectacular grand entrance with a new twist? Change up your
jewelry. Add some more bling, bigger bracelets, bigger earrings! Or literally
let your hair loose! If you have an up do, how about changing it up and wearing
some loose curls? You can also change your make-up look. See if your make-up
artist can change up your eyes and lips to have more of a night time look. Ask
your hair and make-up stylists for different tips and different looks that can
be done to create a more dramatic feel!
One gown or two? DO BOTH! INDULGE! This
is your day!
Too pricey? You can still create two
remarkable looks at a lower cost! Use your imagination and create something
that is uniquely you!
