So your wedding day is coming up, or you're just one of those people who love looking at wedding dresses for fun in your spare time (me), but either way, there is something we need to discuss—after-party bridal dresses. Brides all around the world have been opting to take off their showstopping wedding gown for the reception and change into something a bit more festive. This second wedding dress allows for more dancing, more comfort, and I think it's safe to say a lot more fun.
