Best of both worlds! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-for-the-reception#post-226662 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:30:14 +0000 summerbride50 226662@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Whats your opinion on a dress to wear for the reception only? I was thinking about it, and its going to be very, very hot outside when we are getting married and I love my dress, I'm just afraid I'll start to sweat and get uncomfortable once I'm on the dance floor at the reception. Anybody have any cute &quot;back up&quot; dresses or ideas for back up dresses? (I'll probably wear my wedding dress as long as possible, but I'd like to know i have another cute dress just in case!) </p>
