What do bride's maids wear at the reception?

I'm a bride's maid, and I was wondering what you wear to the reception? Do you wear the same dress from the ceremony or do you wear another one?


Yes, you wear the same dress that you wore to the ceremony. As a bridesmaid you will be easily identified as such the entire evening as you'll all be dressed in your bridesmaid attire.

(It's an honor to be identified as a bridesmaid)

Everyone who attends the ceremony wears the same clothes to the reception. Most weddings don't have 10 hr gaps or even 1 hr gaps where guests are left to entertain themselves while the couple is off somewhere else taking pictures the whole time and whatever else they decide to do. Most brides (and certainly not guests) do not change into multiple outfits. You only get one wedding day and if you love the dress, why not wear it as long as possible, as expensive as it is? Yeah alot of women complain they can't move in it, but that's because they didn't take that into consideration when shopping.

My wedding is in July and outside. So we are all changing after the ceremony. I want everyone to be comfortable and enjoy themselves. The girls have actually chosen their own dresses, that way they pick what is right for them. I chose the colors and that was it.

99% of the time, it's the same dress but I went to a wedding once where the bridesmaids (and the bride of course!) changed dresses. The bride was really nice and bought them two dresses each, one for the ceremony and one for the reception :)

You wear the same dress as you did for the ceremony.

Some brides will let you switch into whatever you want to wear for the reception but that happens once in a blue moon.

you keep wearing the dress you wore for the ceremony.

You wear the thing that you wore during the ceremony. (If you were wearing heels or something, you could probably change into some flats.)

Have fun!

You get to keep that dress on all night, lucky girl. I hope the bride didn't choose one that was too hideous for you guys, LOL.

Depends on the bride. I've been to weddings were the whole party changes at the reception.

The bridesmaid dress:)

You wear the very same dress.

OMG.. LOL. Yes, you wear the same dress.

Same dress.
