I have no help for you on the complications of dancing with two dresses, probably because I'm the world's biggest klutz and can barely comprehend not tripping over my own feet in heels.
On the 'awkwardness' though. I think you may be over thinking it just a tad. Your guests know the deal, they just witnessed your marriage and kiss, everything else should just be natural and expected. They are there because they support and approve of your marriage!
If you don't want to be in the spotlight for the whole dance maybe have the band invite the crowd to join in after about a minute or so.
And, to be honest, in the end you are married to the love of your life. It's all about YOU and HER, who gives a damn about anything else :)
Why awkward for the guests? Because of moving around in bulky dresses? I think it would be great, just like any other first dance . . . :)
@Cupcake2012: I guess I'm just worried it will look odd with the two dresses, not because we're two women.
@eagle: Oh I see. I honestly think it would be beautiful! Have you looked at some videos online maybe? To get used to the idea?
@Cupcake2012: I've tried haha. Haven't come across anything good. Seems like theres more dress/suit lesbian couples out there.
Buy a couple of cheap super fluffy prom or bridesmaids dresses and practice in them. Buy the least expensive most outlandish ones you can find from a thrift store. Then later put some tiny element into a gift project that will always evoke the memories of practicing and all the laughs you'll have together :)
We had a two-bride first dance, and it worked fine! If you're doing a stand and sway kind of thing, it's not an issue at all. If you want something more complicated, the one issue will be that a lot of dances are structured with moves designed to show of the woman's dress. However, any dance instructor should be able to help you restructure them so as to show off both women's dresses.
Oh, and if you are klutzes like us, two long dresses can cover up an amazing amount of bed footwork! LOL
My friends had a two-dress first dance, and it was beautiful! I just looked at the pics on FB again to be sure! I don't want to post pics without their permission, but trust me, it will look great.
Have you seen the "Dress + Dress" section of A Bicycle Built For Two? There are several two-dress dance pics posted.

Two of my good friends had a two dress first dance and both dresses had a lot of material to them. It wasn't even a little awkward for me as a guest because they were both so clearly in love and happy...I've seen more typical first dances (groom in tux, bride in dress) that were nowhere near as beautiful as that one!
@lunathea: No no you didn't. I feel like it will be awkward with the dresses and also for the guests because they've never seen it before.
@LittleRiver: I love looking at these pics! There are a lot of pics of two dress dances!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I'm really worried about our first dance... two dresses and all. I just picture it being awkward for everyone. But we're paying thousands of dollars for really great live music, so we're defientely having a first dance.
Does anyone have any advice for making a two-dress first dance less awkward for our guests? I mean we always dance around and practice in the kitchen (lol), but I just feel like its going to be awkward with the dresses and for our guests.
