One of our favorite emerging wedding trends from recent years is reception bridal dresses. As the bride, you are the star of your wedding day, and we think that is a great time to shine with some amazing bridal fashion. Having a second bridal dress to change into after the wedding ceremony or after dinner for dancing the night away at your wedding reception will be a fun surprise for your wedding guests and might just make you a bit more comfortable.
Many of our brides are wearing a classic wedding dress for the ceremony and for their first dance, but then changing into a second bridal look for the rest of the evening - and we are here for it! Not having to worry about tripping over a long wedding dress skirt or train will keep you on the dance floor all night long. Be sure to book an appointment at our bridal boutique in Connecticut to try one of these beauties on for yourself!
A second dress on wedding day can allow you a chance to take a bit of a fashion risk and perhaps go with a style you might not typically wear. You could choose a style completely different from your bridal dress. Reception bridal dresses are being designed to be a bit more fun and flirty, with feathery fringe details, sparkles, and even sequins. And if you are a more traditional bride, you can find gorgeous lace dresses that work perfectly for a reception bridal look.
Here are a few of our new favorite reception bridal dresses:
