Two Looks, One Dress

Two Looks, One Dress

Make the most of your wedding dress budget

Do you want two looks for your wedding but think you only have the budget for one?
I have heard many brides say they would love to have two different looks for their wedding, but they don’t know if it’s in their budget. Also, after all the time they’ve invested in finding one perfect gown, having to look for a second sounds like a big task. The secret is to find a versatile dress that can take you throughout the day.

Why have two looks for your wedding?

First, the ceremony is a different event than your reception, usually with more formal behavior and sophisticated vibes. Whether it’s at a church, temple, or wherever you choose to exchange your vows, you want to be at the height of elegance.

By contrast, the reception features lots of mingling, the cutting of the cake, the tossing of the flowers, the traditional chicken dance, and electric slide — which are quite a challenge to do if you’re wearing a ball gown or dress with the traditional train! Many brides also continue the celebrations with an after-party.

After all the hours you’ve spent getting glammed up, then having dozens of photos taken, by the time you are ready to go enjoy your reception with your guests, you won’t have energy to completely change your look. Ideally, you can change into more comfortable attire that doesn’t need to lose its formality. You will feel fresh enough to do the Macarena and play limbo with your guests!

Going from formal to fun

There are few times in your life that you will have center stage and all eyes on you. Why not feel like a celebrity and rock different looks? This celebration is a special day. You need the perfect dress to take you from ceremony day to dancing late into the night. It doesn’t have to be complicated nor does it require you to have a budget for two gowns. Here are some looks that can take you from the ceremony “wow” to the party “pow!” in a New York minute.

Eliza Dress:
This is a beautiful bandeau satin dress with a uniquely layered skirt. The train extends seamlessly from the waist of the dress.

This combo doesn’t spare any details, featuring hand-beaded embellishments and vintage inspired lace.

After the ceremony and your first dance are done, and you’re ready to get your groove on with your girlfriends to your favorite tune, you can unhook the skirt in under 45 seconds. Toss it in the air and get ready to shake your bum bum — no need for a bustle here!
