I was reading a magazine the other day when I came across an article about Carrie Underwood’s recent wedding (she married NHL player Mike Fisher). As I was reading it and drooling over the million dollar photos, I noticed Carrie did something that a lot of brides are doing nowadays. She opted to have two different wedding dresses – a ceremony dress and a reception dress.
Brides are choosing to wear two different dresses for a couple of reasons. For some brides, it mixes up their outfit. A lot of girls want to be the “belle of the ball”, if you will, and want to be glamorous. An outfit change is a sure way to accomplish this. Some brides fall in love with more than one dress and can’t decide on which to wear, so having 2 separate dresses is the perfect solution. For other brides, it is important to have a ceremony dress and a party dress. Let’s face it – a dress with a super long train can get in the way of getting your groove on. To accommodate themselves, a lot of brides are starting to go with a long ceremony dress and a short reception dress to ensure they can move around.
Reception dresses are also a great way to incorporate color – you don’t have to stick with white all night. This is a great way to change things up and add your own unique element to your wedding.
Like I always say, it’s your day… so go with whatever makes you feel beautiful – one dress, two dresses, short, long, white, pink, blue..!! All you have to worry about it having a great time. =)
