Anyone Else Buying 2 Dresses? -For Ceremony & Reception


Recommended Posts

So, I am planning on wearing a mermaid/trumpet gown for my ceremony and then changing into another (less expensive),shorter, less formal dress for our reception so I can really party and dance without being so restricted. Our reception is on the beach. I love both dresses and will have photos in both. I'm feeling like it probably is a bit excessive but the second dress isn't that much and I will be able to wear it again.

 

My fiancé is fine with it because he knows how I love to dance. And he wants me to enjoy the reception as much as possible. Hopefully people won't think I'm being too much of a diva. :rolleyes:

 

If we were marrying at home, I still would do a change...

Is anyone else doing this?

I have two dresses one for the ceremony and a part of the reception and then i'm changing to the fun party dress for the end of reception and dancing.  I say go for it, its your day and if you are more comfortable in the second dress and like to dance why not. Here are my two dresses.

Okay. We were on the same wavelength...

Unfortunately I can't see your pics but I'm working on getting to 150 posts. :) You're from the tri-state area so I'm sure they're nice!

@@csho Exactly! I knew I couldn't possibly be the only one doing this. I guess it's common.

There is a LONG thread here on BDW where brides have shown their dresses and recommended few great sites... It's an amazing thread with tons of tips for ordering the perfect dress from overseas! I think it's called "knock off dresses"... Something like that... I found them there! (Jasmines). They look the best but there are a few depending on style that seem to get rave reviews from brides here.

I am getting anxious and stressed to be honest! My fiancé ended up having to have surgery (it was minor) but still have an open wound and going to another country is never good! So we weren't really sure how things were going to play out and we're still kind of just hoping that hes going to heal well! So there's that and then just making sure everything is done and ready and that we don't forget anything! I can't wait til we just get there and can relax and not worry about anything!

@@NJBride2014 Love BOTH  your dresses! They are so beautiful!

Awwww! I hope everything works out as planned.

 

I feel that way now and I have two months left. Can't wait until it's all over and I can relax on the beach with no cares! B)


@@kmk2016 Thanks. I saw that thread and intend to look into those places.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
