Buying one wedding dress might already seem like a grand event, but what about if you were to add a second gown to the mix? Here’s why you should invest in two wedding dresses.

You Might Head Out
Some of us love to head out after the ceremony. However, hitting the town in a giant wedding dress might not be the best idea. It’s likely your dress will get trodden on by other people, and you might soon find out that you take up half the venue with your gown. Plus, veils aren’t typical attire for those heading out for the night. A smaller dress might be your best bet to enjoying yourself.
Big Dresses Can Hold You Back
Huge wedding gowns can look pretty impressive and help many of us to feel like royalty for the day. So what about when you need to do other things, such as use the bathroom? Yes, the chances are you’ll need to make a visit to the little girl’s room a few times throughout the night. Changing into a second wedding dress can help avoid any embarrassing moments in the stall.

It Can Get Hot
All those larger dresses often come made from layers and layers of fabric. What does that mean? You guessed it: it gets pretty hot. Plus, summer weddings can soon see the temperatures rise. One of the best ways to avoid becoming a sweaty bride is to enjoy your large gown for the ceremony before changing into a lighter second wedding dress for the rest of the day.

Hitting The Dancefloor
Of course, many things typically happen at the wedding reception including getting down on the dancefloor. Have you ever tried to dance in a large dress? It’s pretty tough. If you want to throw some shapes and enjoy your evening then investing in two wedding dresses should help to free up some room on the dancefloor.
Believe it or not, but there are so many reasons why you should invest in two wedding dresses. The best bit? You can now enjoy stunning your guests with not one but two gowns throughout the evening as you show off your second purchase. A quick outfit change could soon transform your entire wedding for the better.
