While the tradition may say that one wedding dress is enough, more modern brides are warming to the idea of a second dress – a dress that is sassier, sexier, and less traditional –  for the reception.  What exactly constitutes a reception dress really depends on the bride herself.  Some brides go for a second wedding gown, while others prefer a party dress. Wedding reception dresses are meant to be a lot more fun and stylish.
