When Love Can’t Wait…

Whilst some brides like to wear their wedding dress for the whole wedding day, other brides may prefer to change into a secondary gown for the reception. This is a common theme at royal weddings, as Kate Middleton, Megan Markle and Princess Eugenie all changed into another dress. If you’re looking for a reception dress, here are a few ideas to consider:

Comfort

Wedding dresses are stunning, but your dream dress may not be the most comfortable item of clothing to wear for a full day. You might like to opt for a looser fabric for your reception gown, such as a flowing bohemian style. Alternatively, jumpsuits are ultimate comfort, and look great when teamed with strappy sandals.

Colour

Switching gowns for your wedding reception is the perfect opportunity to inject a splash of colour into your day. Dare to be bold with your shades, and you may even like to throw a nod to your cultural background with your choice of patterns and prints.

Style

Some brides use the chance to change dresses to showcase a second traditional wedding dress in a very different style. If you were torn between a tea length dress and a full skirt, ballgown-style dress, why choose between them? There’s nothing stopping you from wearing one at the ceremony and the other at the reception.

Whichever choice of dress you decide on, our wedding planning team at Delamere Manor is on hand ready to assist with preparations for your big day. We’re one of the top wedding venues in Cheshire, so get in touch today.
