Evening outfit

I don't think you're weird, but I think your evening guests might be disappointed if they don't see you in your dress. I went as a daytime guest to a wedding where the bride changed in the evening and there were murmurings of disappointment from people who hadn't seen her before she changed.

I know its each to their own, but I cannot get my head around chaning into anything other than a wedding outfit on your wedding day

I think H2B will have a job and a half getting me out of my dress the morning after for the family breakfast...!

I know people who have done this, but they have been the ones who haven't spent much on the actual traditional wedding dress in the first place. I wouldn't want to change with the amount I've spent, but on the other hand it's about comfort. If you will be happier and comfier changing, then go ahead! ?

I was also considering changing in the evening, but decided against it as you only get to wear the dress once, so it's nice to make the most of it (although my dress was non-traditional).

But do whatever you feel happy with.

I know someone who changed into a shorter wedding dress for the evening, I think she spent loads on both dresses actually, but she didn't like her daytime dress whereas she loved her evening one.

Our wedding is quite "short" as we are having the ceremony at 4pm and no separate evening do so it's not really an option for me anyway but I don't think I would change into a different dress - it's just one day after all.

I think if you will feel more comfortable with a change in clothes, then go for it.

I'm with another lady here, though - we have a late ceremony and with the money my dress cost... I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it just for an hour! I'm going to stay in that dress even if it kills me!

I don't think its weird but I agree with the earlier post about making sure your evening guests have all arrived before you get changed.

I also wouldn't spend loads on it as I went to a wedding once where the bride had bought a very expensive second dress and didn't end up getting changed.

In terms of the actual outfit you are looking at, the style is very traditional Indian and I think that would still be obvious in a different color. If that's what your looking for then you should go for it. You should definitely feel comfy on your wedding day!!

Thanks ladies I'm planning on staying in my dress as long as possible at least till my first dance. If I don't end up changing then that's fine as I attend Asian weddings regularly so it wouldn't go to waste. I've been speaking to my friend who's travelling to India in November and she will see about getting it made.
