Are you changing at reception?

I stayed with my dress all night long. Never plan to change it and I even went to the after party with my dress!

Nope. I’m not spending thousands of dollars on a dress to only wear it for an hour.

View Quoted Comment I know! I feel like I want to stay in my dress as well. The last two weddings I've been to they both changed. I will never get to wear my dress again, so I want to wear it as long as possible. I just worry it may be hard to dance in.

View Quoted Comment Exactly! You’re never going to wear it again. I had a little hard time dancing at times but is just one night and I didn’t let it bother me. I also had some help from my girls with this.

I'm changing because I'm getting married on NYE and it's a lot of dress to party in

I only get to wear my dress for one day so I’m going to stay in it as long as I can

I'm staying in my dress until the very end. This dress with alterations has now reached the $2000 mark (original budget was $500!) so I will be in that dress as long as possible. I've already told my FH that as soon as the wedding is over, I'm gonna start planning our vow renewal cause damn if I won't be wearing this dress again!

I'm wearing it for the whole event!

I stayed in it until the very end. I didnt pay almost $2k to wear the dress for an hour!

I’m wearing my wedding dress the entire time! I have a long dream so I will have my dress bustled so I can dance without problems.

I’m going to wear that dress for as long as I can!

Same as PPs! I stayed in my dress all night because I loved it so much!

No way!! Our wedding was at 11am, it was over by 3pm and I wore it for the 2 1/2 car ride to our bed and breakfast - heck I wore when I pumped gas (hubby was napping in the car!) Wore it out to our favorite place that night!! I was like heck yeah I we are the bride and groom!

I stayed in my dress all night. I see why some brides change but personally I don’t understand why you’d spend all the money on a dress just to change an hour or two later.

Staying in the same dress. I don't need the expense of a reception dress. I don't find them necessary if you find the right wedding dress. That's just me though. I am changing my shoes from heels to flats

I plan to wear my dress all night

Never taking my dress off! Love it too much...

I changed, and was so happy I had the option! I wore my "real" dress for the ceremony, all the pictures, throughout dinner and the formal dances but switched over before we went around greeting everyone. My reception dress was much lighter and cooler, plus way easier to maneuver.

However, I only spent $400 in total on my actual dress, and around $55 on the second one, so I felt I still got my money's worth out of them both.

I had planned to change and even bought a dress but never changed because my dress was comfortable and I didn’t want to take it off.

Yes! just what they’ve all said... I’ve went over budget by $400 so my dress will be on the whole night,I’m even boarding the plane in it. Yes!
