Interested in making a second dramatic entrance at your wedding? While some brides understandably prefer to wear their wedding dress all night long — nor do they want the hassle of changing — a second dress can oftentimes allow for brides to slip into something a little more comfortable, festive, sexy, or all of the above! What's more, the reception dress might encourage brides to take a risk with a pop of colour, interesting silhouette, or jumpsuit they wouldn't have otherwise worn during the ceremony. If all of this is speaking to your soul, then go ahead and browse 25 of our favourite options ahead.
