19 Gorgeous “Reception” Wedding Gowns

July 12, 2013

Have you heard about wedding gowns that turn into reception dresses? A traditional, conservative, white wedding gown is probably your dream dress for the ceremony, but there might be another dress you absolutely love.  Why not turn it into your reception dress? Many brides decide to wear one dress for the ceremony, and a different dress for the reception. The reception dress is a fun way to show off your personality and help you make the best moves on the dance floor. Here are some beautiful reception dress ideas we love. Get ready to be inspired!
