That way you can do the pictures in between the ceremony and reception. That's how our wedding was in fact!</p> <p>I always wear the same outfit to both, but I get a little more glammed up for the reception! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-help-for-a-wedding#post-2178677 Thu, 14 May 2015 15:43:40 +0000 blackbird 2178677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really common for catholic weddings around here. If the reception is very formal, I wear a church dress to the ceremony then change. I almost always wear the same dress to both, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-help-for-a-wedding#post-2178348 Thu, 14 May 2015 13:32:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 2178348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This kind of gap is very common in my circles. Most people just wear the same thing. You certainly could change if it was uncomfortable or something but most people don't bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-help-for-a-wedding#post-2178347 Thu, 14 May 2015 13:32:00 +0000 hilsy85 2178347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends...I wouldn't want to wear a super formal dress (I"m picturing all glammed up) to a church at 11am...you could always wear the same dress but just go light on accessories/makeup. If it's a cocktail dress you're probably fine to wear the same one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-help-for-a-wedding#post-2178339 Thu, 14 May 2015 13:29:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2178339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why not? If it were me I would probably go back to the hotel post ceremony and change into Comfy clothes. go have lunch, relax then shower and change back into the dress for the reception. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-help-for-a-wedding#post-2178327 Thu, 14 May 2015 13:23:48 +0000 Meowkers 2178327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to a wedding with a huge gap. Ceremony at 11am at a church and the reception starts at 5pm at a country club type venue. I have no clue what the official dress code is for the reception but I presume "generally formal." I've never been to a split wedding like this. Can I wear the same dress to the ceremony as the reception or am I going to have to change? This is an out of town wedding and I want to just bring a carry-on so the less I have to pack the better. </p>
