PP Wearing your dress again - wedding dress balls?

So this is actually a 'thing'?

I need this in my life.

Last time around I wore my dress twice after the wedding; once to a fancy dress party and then to a party where everyone paid £5 to whatever charity it was and wore their/a bridal/bridesmaid gown.

Are you volunteering? I'm a bit far away to attend (and not married yet) but I love the idea of a Hitched OM Bridal gown meet........imagine the post event flashes!

Do it!

Is that not a bit weird and Whatever Happened To Baby Jane-ish? Just me...?

We tried to organise a Hitched one in London last year with a few of our resident togs but never got it off the ground sadly.

There is a charity ball every year - The Moth Ball?

p.s. on a wedding forum, therefore a post about wedding dresses cannot be a 'pointless post'???

A bunch of women all in their wedding dresses in the same room is a bit cringe worthy!

I wouldn't find it cringe worthy. I'd get all giddy and go a bit squuuuuuueeeeeeeee and hyper. I love the idea, as it's very very silly ?

Thought it might be slightly PP as it's not planning, and is more for OMs, I guess!

I dunno; I think it could be hilarious rather than cringeworthy, depends on the type of people attending I suppose!

Off Topic section would cover non-wedding related posts...??

*bitter old married is not good with change*

I recall a friend telling me about this charity one in Sheffield: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Brides-Ball-Sheffield/391361004301769

Ha, could be fun, the photo's would be so bizarre!

True! Didn't think of that - d'oh

It just seems to have popped up a lot over the last few weeks, I'm curious as to where its come from!!

I dunno! Just thought I'd jump in the PP band wagon
