What bride does not want to be the center of attention at her own wedding (along with her new husband, of course)? However, as beautiful as a wedding gown may be, it is not the easiest piece of apparel in which to party the night away. You can be stylish, chic and comfortable while still looking every bit “the bride”. Several wedding gown designers are taking into account the somewhat divergent tones of the ceremony and reception by designing convertible gowns (Check out this one from Martina Liana). For the bride who does not want a complete change of clothing there are gowns with a removable over-layer, attaching either on the top or at the waist of the dress. A removable train can solve the fuss of a bustle and avoid the calamity of a guest (or worse yet, your new husband) stepping on the bustled-up train and tearing the attachment. Another great option is a dress with a bottom layer that attaches underneath with velcro, buttons or hooks – remove the bottom layer and voila! you are party-ready. If you really want a different look, everyone will still ooh and ahh over you in a beautiful white cocktail dress. Depending on your personal style, you can be sexy or sophisticated, but definitely chic and special. But remember to keep that gorgeous gown on for your grand entrance as the new couple and for your very special first dance!
This is such a great idea, it is what I would have worn on my wedding day, well I suppose I could get married again
Rose – I think you should totally ‘propose’ that idea to you husband!
