I think it's adorable when a bride changes from a formal wedding dress into something shorter and easier to move around in HOWEVER I think it's excessive when a bride changes from extravagant formal gown to extravagant formal gown.
Whether you have already bought two dresses or are just toying with the idea, the most important question to ask yourself is this--
What dress do you want to be in for what pictures?
There are two most commonly used changing times, the first is between the ceremony and the reception and the second is just before the exit.
I have occasionally seen brides change solely for dancing, which gives you a third option.
If you have already decided that you will be having two dresses here are some things to consider--
Did you get two dresses because you absolutely couldn't choose between them or for comfort?
If you absolutely couldn't choose between them, decide which one you want to be in for dinner, toasts, cake, etc and tailor your schedule accordingly. (so you aren't spending the whole night changing)
If you are changing for comfort decide whether the second dress just an exit dress or for dancing. If you are just planning on exiting in the dress, consider changing into it for the last dance of the night and then make your grand exit. This way you can change while your guests are still dancing so they aren't standing around waiting for you.
If the dress is going to be used for comfort during dancing, decide whether you want to change before or after the big dances (first, daddy, etc).
And regardless of when, where or how many times you are changing you will need to decide if you want to pick one hairstyle/makeup combo that works for all of the dresses or talk with your stylist about what styles will easily transition from one to another.
Finally, remember this -- whether you have one dress or six, the most important thing is that you feel happy and beautiful all night.
Happy Planning!!!
