(First, sorry if I put this in the wrong forum!)

So, I’m not having bridesmaids at my wedding, but in the process of looking for my wedding dress and a jr bridesmaid dress for my daughter, I’ve checked out some of the bridesmaids dresses out there now, and I have to say that there are some that I want for myself!! So, is it OK to wear them at formal social events? My Fiance and I are thinking of going on a Mediterranean cruise for our honeymoon, and I’ve seen a couple of Jim Hjelm and Bari Jay dresses I’d love to wear for the formal nights.

So, is that OK, or is that weird?

I think that it’s fine. I’ve seen women wear their sleek, silk wedding dresses as formal occasion wear after the wedding and I plan to wear mine as a cocktail dress every so often. Go for it.

I think it’s absolutely okay for you to wear them to formal social events!  No one will know except for you!
