Changing later in the day?

I'm hoping and planning that I will stay in my dress all day...I love my dress and went over budget for it so want to get as much wear out of it as I can on the day ?

No way am i changing. Its the only day i will be wearing my dress and will want to wear it for as long as possible....

Nope, wont be changing, I'm going to wear my dress for as long as I possibly can, I haven't waited this long to only wear it a few hours. Luckily its very comfortable to wear, eat in etc so I will be fine.

I'm wearing mine all day come hell or high water. I love it and won't get to wear it again!!

Mines staying on all day...it's the only time i'm going to be able to wear it!!

I won't want to take it off, even when we've gone to the suite ? lol

I'm going to wear my dress all day!!! There may be difficulty with going to the bathroom as it's a big princessy dress lol! But I'm not paying £1200 to only wear it for a couple of hours!!

I dont intend on taking mine off ever, il wear it to breakfast the next day with everyone if i think i can get away with it lol

I changed into my going away outfit at 10pm....was glad to be out of my dress if im honest!

Brides changing is my biggest nightmare. I have very poor eyesight and have to switch between two pairs of glasses, so when DJing, I tend to put the close ups on the end of my nose and peep over the top when looking at distances....and just see blurry blobs. A white blob wafting around is my saving grace....as I know its the bride!!

I know....really feeble reason for not changing!!!!!

Absolutely NO WAY I am buying my dream dress to change out of it half way through my wedding day!

Can you get dresses with a detachable bottomhalf? I dont know if you can but it seems like a good idea!

No way! I dont ever want to take it off! I'm already thinking of a love the dress shoot just so i can wear it again ?

I was planning on getting a dress I could wear again to other things, I have intention to wear my dress all day, but if i get hot i would rather change into something less so...... I am thinking fainting bride is probably not a good look!

Defo staying in my dress all day! dont get it why ppl change tbh!

I admit my dress is not the most comfortable- its big and the beading on the bodice does irritate under my arms BUT its gorgeous and I am staying in it.

Same for veil- I intend on keeping this on too!

I'm getting married in July so hopefully it will be hot! But no way am I changing out of my dress!! It's the most expensive dress I've ever bought, I am a bride and I want everyone to see me in it!

Could you not get a chic little hand fan or something that would compliment your dress?

How about getting one of those big wedding dresses from "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" complete with "split" (ie, giant gap) in the middle?

I am seriously tempted to change as well - knowing our lot, it is highly likely we'll end up being thrown in lake Geneva at 6am the next morning, and hence I am wondering if a second white dress would be a sensible idea....

I got married on one of the hottest days of the year and I kept my dress on ALL day! Hell, when else would I get to swish about in it ?

I actually didn't really feel the heat on the day - unlike the guests ?

This ?

If i can find a bargain evening dress i might keep it in my room as a stand by just because i don't think i could manage the toilet in my dress especiallly after a couple of glasses of wine not that i'm planning on getting drunk, i'm just a major light weight lol!

I intend to keep mine on all day. Only get to wear it once after all.

As for feeling hot, it probably won't be that bad, and you'll be wearing a light colour!

I'm considering getting changed, purely for the fact that my reception and wedding are not on the same day so I don't want to risk spilling drinks etc on it later on when I'm tipsy, when I intend to wear it again a few weeks later!

Will most definately not be changing! I love my dress and want to wear it as long as possible...im going to have a kit of mini deodorant, wipes etc so I can freshen up throughout if I do get a really hot day .... but July is generally a wet month in Northern Ireland! I'll probably get a manky humid day but I will be in such a high I wont eve notice!

I think you'd have to pin me down and physically remove it from me to get it off!!! I told OH I may even sleep in it - bless him you should of seen his face ?

I'm really looking forward to it, I'm not very girly and I'm really looking forward to getting all dressed up and being ultimately girly for the whole day - plus as others have said I'll never get to wear it again...

I won't be as I want to wear it all day, but one of my friends did. She wore her dress until the evening bit then changed into a more comfortable (yet lovely) dress in its place. She wanted to dance and couldn't do it in her wedding dress.

Its a bit diffrent for me growing up in two diffrent cultures. I always dreamed of my sparkly red asian outfit and OH always dreamed of a bride coming down the aisle in white.

I'm a bit greedy so have gone for both. White dress during day and red in the evening.

I realy do need an excuse to wear them again though...

How about Hitched brides day? We could all get dressed up and meet at a diffrent persons house each year? Would be so funny!

Agree with others, in that I want to wear my dress as much as possible.

But i will be taking an extra pair of flat shoes, that I'll be getting one of the bridesmaids to hide in their handbags.
