Do you think there is anything wrong with having two wedding dresses if they are both less than 200 USD each ?

Asked by suzanna28 (684points) February 8th, 2012

Well I saw two dresses I really like under 200 USD each and I can’t decide , so i am thinking of wearing one to the church and one to the reception. What do you think ?

It’s a little unusual but it’s your day so if you want to do it, go for it.

Many brides are doing just as you’ve said, one for their ceremony and another for the reception. These days, it’s really up to you what you want your wedding day to be and how to make it fun and personal.

I don’t need two TVs, but it’s not going to hurt if I do have them. It’s up to you.

one for the wedding, one to pull off down right naughty roleplay in

Awesome, great deal! They change looks in many nice weddings. I watch David Tutera now.

I can think of something better to do with $200 than buy a second wedding dress just to have one.

My mom did this way back at her wedding.

I’ve been to a few weddings recently where both the bride & the groom had a wardrobe change for the reception.

If it’s something that you really prefer to do, then do it.

It’s ok, if you have the money and have the free time and place to change during such a busy day.

Price is relative, so one person’s hundred is another’s thousand. The 200 dollar cost isn’t the issue here. Do whatever you want; would you care if I purchased three wedding dresses at 300 a piece?

And congratulations.

I think it’s a little crazy to change dresses. Why not post the pics up here and let us choose one?

I think it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks except you. It’s your day, no one else’s (well, your finance, I suppose, but still…). There is nothing about your wedding that you should be relying on public opinion for. Do what you want.

A lot of brides change dresses for their receptions. Go for it if you can afford it!

DaphneT's avatar

Well, so long as they are dramatically different, like one a ball gown, one a cocktail dress. Two ball gowns seem a bit much.

No, a lot of brides wear the traditional dress with a long train for the wedding and a more comfortable cocktail dress for the reception. If you can afford to do it, then go for it.

I had the impression that the OP was talking about two real wedding gowns which does seem a tad unusual to me.

Sunny2's avatar

The question for me would be, “What else might I do with that other $200 rather than have two wedding dresses that I probably won’t wear again?” Or do you intend to do as @lonelydragon and @DaphneT suggest? (I was so practical that I had a dress I could wear to the opera or dressy event when I took off the small lace top and little hat with a veil I wore only for the wedding itself.)
