Second Look Wedding Dresses

Your Reception Deserves Its Own Outfit

By the time the reception starts, you might be ready for something a little lighter. A second look gives you another bridal outfit for the part of the day where you’ll be dancing and moving around more. That could mean swapping a longer gown for a white mini dress, or keeping things simple with a strapless dress. For plenty of brides, the appeal is simply having something easier to wear once the party gets going.

Why Brides Choose a Second Dress

Often, it comes down to comfort. A second dress can make dancing easier, especially when your ceremony gown has a longer train or fuller skirt. It can also be handy to have another option ready in case you decide you want to change later in the night.

Your second look doesn’t need to be another full bridal gown. Plenty of brides choose something simpler for the reception that still feels special enough for the day. A popular time to change is after the first dance, once the dance floor opens and the more formal parts of the reception are done. You still get plenty of time in your ceremony gown before slipping into something easier to dance in. Our wedding reception dresses are another place to look when you’re deciding what that second outfit could be.
