I’ll admit it—the first time I heard about this trend, I wasn’t really a fan. A wedding dress is a wedding dress and should stay that way! But, the more I saw these dresses and read about them, the more I fell in l-o-v-e- love!

Buying a wedding dress can be a daunting and overwhelming task. The amount of dresses to try on, to wear a veil or not, and of course, the MONEY! I cringe at the thought of spending 1,000 plus dollars on something I will only wear once. What better way to get bang for your buck than to buy a dress that is actually a 2-in-1 deal!

For those who don’t know, a convertible wedding dress consists of a ‘traditional’ wedding dress where the skirt can be taken off at the reception to reveal a shorter cocktail dress. For all you brides out there that plan on dancing the night away, this may be the perfect fit for you. Not having to drag your dress around the dance floor all night or worry about the intricate beading that you spend a fortune on getting ripped off. This is also a great idea for you brides who are planning on a destination wedding. Maybe you are having a “reception” before you leave and don’t feel like revealing your actual wedding dress for all to see. Slip the “cocktail” wedding dress on and voila you’ve got a perfect reception wedding dress without revealing all the magic of your actual wedding dress.

If you ever happen to stumble upon one of these dresses don’t hate it before you try it! You never know—you may end up saying “yes” to a convertible wedding dress!
