Every little girl has memories of sketching her wedding gown - with crayons, pencils, magic markers, even sidewalk chalk. I can remember drawing great big puffy shoulders (a la Cinderella) and a train as long as the church aisle could bare. Thankfully my tastes matured and changed and my gown, while simple and classic, was in some way a version of that dream gown I had drawn so many years before.
The one thing that my childhood fantasies did not account for was a wardrobe change mid-reception. The notion of taking off my gown to replace it with a more practical, dance-able 'dress', never entered my mind.
So much for thinking ahead! It seems the change of dress is the thing to do today. While costly, I would consider spending less on the wedding gown and investing in a fun change-of-dress. You know, one that you actually CAN wear again (maybe with your metallic Manolo's)!
This is an interesting read about the new trend (new to me, that is).
