The story of two wedding dresses

Bride chang­ing bridal ensem­bles may seem like a recent trend, but it actu­al­ly has a his­to­ry that begins in Amer­i­ca. Back in the 1930s, the con­cept «Going Away Dress» — This is an out­fit in which the bride appeared in front of the guests to accept con­grat­u­la­tions and hear best wish­es, and then go on a hon­ey­moon with the groom. As a rule, the Going Away Dress was a chic wed­ding suit of a skirt and bomber. For a mod­ern con­tin­u­a­tion of this con­cept, many wed­ding design­ers today cre­ate “Cake Cut­ting Dress­es”. Such dress­es are most often short, light and play­ful, they are intend­ed for the sec­ond half of the ban­quet, when the cake is cut and the danc­ing begins until morn­ing. The typ­i­cal cake-cut­ting dress is often much less expen­sive than the sec­ond wed­ding dress.

But still, the ide­al oppor­tu­ni­ty to change the wed­ding attire is the time before the ban­quet. After the cer­e­mo­ny — a small pho­to ses­sion with par­ents and loved ones, and then your guests are sent instead ofwhere beau­ti­ful tables, music, snacks and drinks await them. At this time, you can touch up your make­up and hair. Using the oppor­tu­ni­ty to fresh­en up and change into your sec­ond dress, you will turn your appear­ance at the ban­quet with your fiancé into an even brighter event and get a sec­ond por­tion of admi­ra­tion, delight and incred­i­ble pho­tos!
