I am the bride.. shall I wear....? help please?

Question

If I am not going to have a wedding party and if all am doing after getting married is going out to a fancy resturant for dinner with my husband and close family "5 people" the most, my question is shall I keep wearing my simple wedding dress even when we go to the resturant? do people do that? would people think am a weirdo?

Answer 1

Wear it! You may never wear it again so get your mileage out of it lol. I am wearing mine after the reception to the casino where we are staying and having my photographer do pictures of me playing slots and roulette in it, sorta like a version of Trash the Dress. Then I'm wearing it onto the boardwalk and into my favorite Greek hole-in-the-wall for more photos. It's gonna be fun and I am going to get my miles out of my dress. And plus I love the dress so I am trying to wear it as long as possible lol...

And, who cares what other people think?? Most people will just be excited to see a bride and they will tell all of their friends and you will give them a conversation starter lol.

Good luck!

Answer 2

absolutly!  Its your wedding day!

Answer 3

I think you should change into an evening gown, it's more traditional to change after the ceremony and you won't have to worry about spilling on your wedding gown!

Answer 4

If it's a simple dress,  no train or anything too fancy, I don't see why not, as long as you remove the veil if you have one.

Answer 5

Definitely keep it on.  You are still a bride and should be able to let everyone know that.

Answer 6

you are the bride so do what you want if your dress is lovely and simple wear that. good luck

Answer 7

I don't think people will think you are a weirdo...and if they do....grin at them and make them wonder what YOU are thinkin/up to......be happy...it's your wedding day and it should be done your way ...don't worry about what others think........

Answer 8

You can wear what you like. If you're more comfortable changing clothes, you can certainly do so. But it would not be unheard of for you to wear your wedding dress to the dinner, especially since the restaurant is fancy. You'll look so gorgeous, why should you change clothes?!

Answer 9

Keep it on.  No one will think your a weirdo, it's your day, enjoy it.

Answer 10

I would wear the wedding dress. You only get to wear it once and you are the bride so why not?

All the best :)

Answer 11

Hi and congratulations!

You most certainly SHOULD keep your simple wedding dress on!  Why not?  NO....people will not think you are a weirdo.  They will think....."hey, look....those two just go married!"  

I absolutely LOVE small weddings!  If it was me, I would get my hair and nails done.  Get some pampering the day of the wedding...then have your simple wedding and dinner reception!  Perfect!  I would check with the restaurant and see about getting a nice centerpiece for the table (if you want) and also possibly bringing in a small cake (or see if they would make one for you!)

Those are my suggestions, but in any case....most definitely wear YOUR DRESS!

Answer 12

I read your other question and it sound to me that you choose to have a simple wedding that your sister will attend.

YOU ARE A BRIDE. How would people know unless you wear the dress. you said it is simple and that should be just enough reason to have you wear it. You will look soooooo good and I hope you have fun.

Answer 13

As a wedding professional, I will tell you it is not only appropriate, but encouraged for you to wear all of your wedding attire, from the dress to the veil (as long as it's not over your face). This is your reception and even though it is a smaller event than that of a formal reception, there is no difference. Wear it all night if you wish, laugh, cry, sing and dance in it! Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful wedding!

Answer 14

You should most definitely wear your simple wedding dress to the restuarant.  This is still your big day and you should continue to celebrate it wearing your special dress.  I'm guessing the other 5 people won't change either!  Best of Luck to you and Congrat's on saving tons of money by having a crazy, huge wedding!

Answer 15

Yes I think you should, people will understand, you could even ask the resturant if you can bring a small table centerpeice like candles or floating candles to make it more obvious to the crowd. or even a small wedding cake.

you could wear a light shrug jacket in another colour (than white) to appear more relaxed
