Popsugar Fashion Weddings Wedding Reception Dresses 2018 25 Wedding Reception Dresses That'll Guarantee a Second Dramatic Entrance 6 June 2018 by Kelsey Garcia As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. 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.
