Observing friends around you, it seems that more than half of brides are hosting an after party♩

If you’ve decided to have an after party, the outfit is definitely a concern! While choosing the dress for the wedding reception, you also need to think about the outfit for the after party.

Will you wear the same dress as the reception, or prepare a different dress for the after party...? Here, we introduce some options along with the benefits of each method＊

How to Choose the After Party Outfit① Same Wedding Dress as the Reception

The first option is to wear the same wedding dress as at the reception＊

Wearing the same wedding dress often means you only have to pay the rental fee once◎

If you want to save money, wearing the same dress seems to be a good choice＊

Also, if the reception is held with just family or a small group, and a lot of guests are coming to the after party, a wedding dress is definitely recommended!

Renting or purchasing a wedding dress specifically for the after party is also popular◎

For example, a cute princess-line for the ceremony and reception, while opting for a mermaid-line, a mini dress, or a two-piece for the after party allows you to make a big change in style!

Wedding dresses for the after party are often shorter in train and less voluminous, making them easy to move in＊

If brides are feeling lost in choosing a dress, wearing a second-choice dress at the after party is also a great idea♡
