Bustle vs. wrist loop

I am not sure that I want my dress bustled but it would be impractical to keep it long all night...

If anyone has done a wrist strap and has a pic, that would be great!

    I wish I had had a wrist Loop for photos. But was a pain having to fold the train and my veil over my arm to walk. I'm glad it was bustled for the reception though. It would have gotten torn if it was stepped on.

    I have removed the train to a dress or have shortened the train for those who do not want to bustle. The dresses were fuller, so they still had the elegant bridal look.

    I am having both. The wrist loop for the first dance, then I will bustle when its time to really get down on the dance floor. My dress is fairly light though.

    I love the romance of a wrist loop for first dance and some photos....but after that I would bustle the heck out of it for real dancing and getting around the reception.

    My bustle didn't break. My dress was a ballgown, and had a 16 point bustle split between three layers. I managed to tear the hem of my dress while going up some stairs, but my bustle remained solid. We did it right after the ceremony. I didn't want to have to carry the dress anymore, as it rained that day and we were walking on cobblestone. Which gets very dirty.

    This!!! I’ve been so back and forth. Was it easy to add a loop?
