The Reception Dress


Can't decide between a tea-length dress and the full bridal shebang? Are you the kind of gal who just wants to have it all? Many brides who want to have a formal wedding gown for their ceremony, but still want to be able to dance at the reception (and possibly go to the bathroom without four people helping her) are choosing to wear a reception dress.

The reception dress is often shorter, simpler, and far more casual than the bride's ceremony dress, leaving her free to mingle with her guests and dance the night away at the reception.

Can't afford two dresses? Or just want to skip straight to the tea-length for the full meal deal? Many bridal designers are hiding their shorter dresses away under the title of "reception dress". Check out these beauties from Priscilla of Boston...

My own dress ended up being based on one of Priscilla's reception dresses, though I see it's no longer being carried on the website.
