Is a Reception Dress a Must Have or a Must Miss?

Kim Kardashian had one, and chances are you’ve known a bride who has had one. But should you have a second dress to wear at your wedding reception? More than just a matter of cost, it is actually quite a debate.

The arguments against having a second dress are pretty straightforward. You’ve put so much energy into finding the perfect dress, why take it off early? By focusing your attention on choosing one dress, you can have the full budget and time to find a dress that suits both ceremony and reception. It also means that you carry on the same style throughout all the day’s photos.

Those who argue for a second dress do make some compelling points themselves, though. A second dress allows you to choose something far less formal for the evening reception. This can also mean that you don’t need to worry about damaging your wedding gown while you’re eating or dancing. If you are wearing a family gown for the ceremony, a reception dress allows you to show off your own style.

What do you think about brides wearing a second dress? Will you wear one or two dresses on your wedding day? In either case, you’ll need to shop at a fantastic Phoenix bridal salon. Give us a call today to find out more about what we offer!

Finding a Gown as an Older Bride

Searching for your perfect wedding dress can be fun, but for many brides it can also be stressful. If you’re an older bride, you might not feel like you can wear some styles of gown. However, whatever your age, there is an ideal gown for you.

The main thing to think about is what you find comfortable and beautiful. If you really love a particular style of wedding gown, there’s nothing to stop you from wearing it. There are no etiquette or style 

rules that put age limits on wedding gown styles!

If you don’t feel like wearing a big white gown is right for you as an older bride, you don’t need to wear one. Instead, you can wear an evening gown in another color, or even a bridal suit.

Before you make any decision about what you should or shouldn’t wear for your wedding day, you should come to an excellent Arizona bridal salon. At Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique, our experts can help you find the perfect wedding style for you. Give us a call or come by our Gilbert salon today!
