A second dress for the reception?
I think this is kinda an unpopular opinion but I paid $2k for my wedding dress. You bet your ASS I’m gonna wear it for as long as possible. And yes, it’s a big ballgown. Why spend more money on another dress? More on reddit.com

Is a Second wedding dress important???

My dress was the most expensive article of clothing I've ever worn. It wasn't coming off until my groom was taking it off.

Reception Dress / Second Wedding Dress suggestions
My ceremony dress was a romantic, ivory, body hugging, draped, off the shoulder gorgeous creation that made me feel like a goddess. I accidentally found my reception dress when shopping for other wedding event outfits (rehearsal dinner, bachelorette, bridal shower) in all at once on SHEIN. I was just scrolling through their ivory/white dress options when I found a short, poofy, absolutely adorably fun, completely opposite side of me dress! I paired it with some amazing boots and had a great time. The pictures were awesome, too! If you plan on having events leading up to the wedding itself, I would just keep an eye out online and in bridal shops whenever they have sales. My friend found an incredible romper from H&M’s formal line that she wore for her reception with some sparkly boots, and another friend who had her dress tailored to have a detachable over skirt to have a lighter, more modern version for this deep south heat. Have fun with your second dress! Don’t be afraid to look outside of the box for a fun and comfy expression of who you are! More on reddit.com
