Train

Hi everyone, possibly a really silly question but here goes... I've bought my dress and love it, but it does have quite a bit of (heavy) train, and since the front is being taken up as I'm short it will seem even bigger after alterations. My question is what do I do with the train? I'm having a bustle fitted which I think I will use for the outdoor part of the reception, but otherwise, do I just let it drag along behind me? I don't want it in the bustle too much as it is heavy and I worry about breaking the bustle, but I don't want my dress to be ruined by dragging on the floor!
