If you’re reading this, you’re probably considering a pop-up wedding or elopement. You’re looking for a nontraditional celebration with no fuss and absolutely no stress. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the style of your wedding dress.
One of the latest wedding trends is changing out of your wedding dress into something more comfortable for the reception. This is especially perfect for casual pop-up weddings where you may be dancing, mingling with friends or walking along the beach.

The Benefits of Two Dresses
Why should you wear two wedding dresses? Maybe you’re a dancing queen, a fashionista, or simply a carefree bride looking for a simple celebration. Whatever your reasoning, the two dresses you choose don’t have to be overly formal.
Actually, the point of the two wedding dress trend is to move away from bulky, traditional wedding dresses that restrict you. Shop for a dress, even if it’s knee-length, that you can move in. It will make your wedding that much more enjoyable.
Two dresses are also great options if:
- You can’t decide on your look. Love mermaid dresses but also want a short lace dress for dancing? Choosing two wedding dresses allows you to showcase two distinct styles while keeping your reception casual!
- You want to dance in something that moves. If dancing and conversation are your top priorities, a dress with a long train or a bulky princess skirt may not work for your reception. This trend allows you to shop for something non-restrictive for the reception, but gives you the freedom to pick something more traditional for the ceremony.
- You have a traditional family dress you want to wear. Do you love your mother’s wedding dress but can’t imagine wearing it for the entire day? This trend may be your saving grace! You can pick something more casual for the reception, but keep your family’s tradition intact for the ceremony.
One key piece of advice to ensure you stay on budget is to shop for both dresses at the same time. That way, you don’t spend your entire budget on one dress and don’t have any leftover for the other.
Many wedding dress designers are also creating convertible wedding dresses that allow you to remove the skirt or shorten the dress. This is perfect for the bride who doesn’t want to buy two dresses but is also looking for comfort and simplicity.
