Eyelet Medley Sheath by BHLDN
There is a new trend many brides are embracing. They want to say their vows dressed in a Cinderella ball down but could do without lugging around pounds of tulle all night long. They would rather dance the night away in something a little less cumbersome. They are opting to purchase a second, less expensive dress...the reception dress.
The reception dress can be many things. If are torn between two dresses, you can simply say yes to both. You may also consider a dress that compliments the first but is in a slimmer silhouette. If you want to be a little more matchy matchy, consider purchasing your bridesmaid dress in white.
If white is not your color, purchase your second dress in a dusty rose or if you plan to show off some serious dance floor moves, you may want to look at the shorter dresses.
Some would say a reception dress is frivolous. However, I think there is good reason to spring for the second dress (especially when you can get so many for less than $500), when it is an issue of comfort. Summers in The Woodlands can get very hot and wearing a heavy wedding dress at an outdoor reception sounds like it could be miserable!
Are you wondering if a reception dress is something you should buy? I would love to know what you think in the comment section below!
