what do brides think about changing out your dress in the evening, if yes...

I am not planning on changing mine as I want to wear it for as long as possible x

I will be staying in mine all day, I will never get to wear it again so won't be Changing but it's your wedding your chose xxx

My best friend had a really heavy dress so changed for the evening to a knee length white dress. It looked lovely xx

I went to a wedding on Friday and the Bride changed her Dress after the evening guests arrived. Personally I don't plan on doing that. It's your wedding so you do whatever makes you comfortable and happy. xxx

I changed into this but I was pregnant and I got married in Cyprus! This is at my Wedding Reception in the UK x

There's no way I'm changing.

The red dress was my evening dress, I was just too warm and the boobs were trying to escape out of my big wedding dress x

I'm getting married this Saturday and was thinking about it but only because I'm breastfeeding my new baby daughter and don't want the fuss of taking the dress off and on every time!

I went to a fitters where they offered to make my skirt detachable so it made a different evening 'mini' dress.

I found a dress years ago that I loved when I first got married which had a zip off bottom but the shop I went. To didn't stock it so got a different one ... the zip off one would have been perfect ... the one I actually got I regretted not getting a change of outfit as I was soooo hot in it at the evening do so I would suggest getting an alternate outfit ... just don't have a clue what haha x

I've got two wedding dresses. The day time one is a lovely but heavy lace so it won't be comfortable to bust my dance moves in.
The second dress is a tea length one which is much lighter so if I get too uncomfortable, after the evening guests arrive I will change.
I also get really painful bloating so the second dress will allow me to breathe if that happens.
I honestly just wanted to have options. X

I'm planning on staying in my dress all day/ evening I won't be getting to wear it again so will keep it on x

Definitely not changing!!!

I got changed and it was the best decision ever!

I kept mine on all day and evening... it cost too much and looks too nice to only wear for part of the day!

I think one because the amount of money your pay these days for a wedding dress... and not to wear it all day... I would rather get my money's worth and wear for the hole day instead of using more money to have 2 dresses.... considering your only wearing it for one day and all So depending on when u get mairred in the day x

I wish I had gotten a 2nd dress for the reception. Although I loved it, my wedding dress was very fitted and quite heavy so it would have been nice to change into something lighter. It depends on how comfortable you are going to be in your dress all day.

I'm so keeping mine on all day! Spent a lot of money on it so want to show it off as much as I can! Plus, it will take forever to get off, and I don't want to miss any part of my wedding by changing dresses! X

I kept mine on all day so evening guests could see it. It was also lightweight and easy to dance in and I loved my dress xxx

I don't see the point in changing. It's still part of the same day and you've likely paid so much for it so why only wear it a couple of hours?

I stayed in mine all day. Its a lot of money for a dress to then change out of it. Plus i loved wearing it :) x

Kept mine on all day. It was a fortune but I loved it and didn't want to take it off. I don't really understand the idea of changing. Why would you?

I didn't change, the day goes so quick anyway so no way was I missing any of it changing! I paid a lot for my dress too so I made sure I wore it as much as possible before it got dry cleaned and put away! Plus my evening guests wouldn't even have seen my wedding dress if I had got changed for the reception xx

I changed in the evening but only because we went to Cyprus and it was hot
Plus although mine wasn't fussy I kept standing on it so did everyone else and we had Greek dancers so wanted to be able to dance . This was when we renewed our vows when I got married 10 years ago I stayed in the same dress all night

I personally don't see the point but each to their own. My dress cost a lot of money to be changing into something else so I'll be keeping it on as long as possible. Also I think it's nice for evening guests to see 'the dress' if having evening guests.

I'm having one dress for the whole day because I think it's a waste to buy more than one. But I'm getting a lace overlay jacket so that I can have sleeves on my dress during my ceremony and then I'm taking it off for the reception

I plan to wear my wedding dress until maybe 9pm and then will change in to something shorter and a little more revealing lol xx

I bought one from China for £30 just in case but I never ended up wearing it. Not a bad idea to have a cheap back up, you don't know how comfy your dress will be after 6 hours x

I'll probably change mine to a knee length wedding dress that's easier to dance in and less formal than the one that I'll have for the ceremony

I had changed in the evening because we were doing a more active first dance, so I needed to be more comfortable moving about

I wanted to keep mine on till the last second all friends have said that too you will never wear it again and could be most expensive special dress you will ever wear so why would you change?!

I haven't picked my dress yet, but I would buy a 2nd dress depending in the type... if your wedding dress is loose & flowy, you probably don't need it, but if its something like a fitted corset, you really should consider it!!

My friend got married a few months ago & was adamant she was going to wear her dress for the whole day. By 6pm she was dying to get out of it because it was so heavy and uncomfortable!
Fortunately I had convinced her a couple of weeks before to buy a back-up just in case, so straight after the first dance, she changed into a pretty white & silver tea-dress that she had bought for £30 in a sale. It was beautiful, but something she could easily wear again.

It's all well & good saying "i'm wearing mine all day!" But when it comes down to it, once you've had it on for 7 or 8 hours, you might feel a bit different & wish you had something!

I stayed in mine all day, the evening guests want to see your dress (I know I do if I go to a wedding) and you spend a small fortune on a dress!

I had 2 dresses, my 2nd one is from quiz and was so comfy! It would be great to change into! I actually stayed in mine all day but had this for the registry office here as our wedding wasn't legal abroad. Xx

I'm having two dresses but they are from eBay so they are around £40 each. A long traditional one for the ceremony and pictures and a short one to party the night away xx

I don't think my h2b would like it if I changed, he's super excited to see me in a dress 🙈 x

Why change? You only wear the dress once make the most of it.

I'm changing into this dress in the evening x

I'm having a longer dress for the day and a shorter one in the evening so I can dance and not worry about it getting stood on x

Want to keep my dress on for as long as possible x

Im going to have 2 - just an excuse to wear two wedding dresses lol xx

No way am I getting changed.....actually wish I could wear my dress for linger as we're not getting married til 3pm....i want to wear it all day 🤣

I stayed in mine.Didnt want to take it off,but also thought it would be nice for the evening guests to see it too.

I bought a dress with being comfortable all day in mind. I didn't choose one with a corset or one that is too tight fitting. The wedding is as much for you to enjoy as everyone else. Why wouldn't you make sure you can be comfortable all day rather than just part of it? And why choose a really expensive dress that won't be part of the whole day either?

Why would you change out of a dress that has cost a small fortune and which you bought specifically for the occasion?

Depends on the day dress id say!
I had mine on the whole day but it was quite fitted and was abit restricting when it came to dancing in the evening, i was also wayy too hot in the evening.
All comes down to if you can afford 2 dresses though

I stayed in my dress but took off my veil and put on a lace shrug so it changed the look of the dress. xx

I'm keeping my dress on my h2b asked me what I was changing into at the reception....I just looked at him and said I may sleep in it lol :)

Y would you want to change wen the dress costs a fortune make most of the beautiful dress I didn't change out of mine xx

I didn't change mine. I didn't see the point. I'd spent a lot of money on it and I don't normally wear dresses because I'm a bit of a tomboy, so thought I'd make the most of it

I'm changing after the first dance, a floor length dress in August is just asking for trouble, changing into a floaty light dress

I wore mine all day, it was a corset backed princess gown with a long train. Couldn't imagine ever taking it off. The hook for the train did snap so ended up with the train draped over my shoulder for half the evening but even now if i had my day again i would still keep it on as some evening guests where late so would have missed the dress plus loved it to much to take it off xx

I have bought the most amazing shoes in the world for my wedding so... for the ceremony im in a full length dress and at the night do im changing to a beautiful 50s style flare dress to show them off!!

I have bought a lovely soft floaty dress without a train so will be able to wear it forever and ever and ever (I will be so sorry to take it off)

No way, I love my dress and want to wear it as long as possible x

I got changed on my wedding evening party and I have regretted everyday since

All my guests got changed into their pjs at 9.30pm!!

I wish I had of changed. My dress was a corset and so heavy when I finally took it off I had bruises down my back and in my ribs. I didn't really enjoy wearing it either

No way! However, it's your choice.

I would be gutted if I went to an evening reception and didn't get to see the bride in her wedding dress
