Wedding Reception Gowns for the Bride

//  by The Wedding Shoppe

Every bride wants to feel beautiful and comfortable throughout their wedding day. While the ceremony is an unforgettable moment, the reception is where the real fun begins. Many brides choose to change into a second gown or adjust their wedding dress for their reception—something that’s lighter, more comfortable, and dance floor-ready. We’ve selected four stunning wedding reception gowns for the bride that will keep you looking fabulous all night long.

Kirsten

One of our favorite wedding reception dress styles is on display in the Kirsten—a fitted gown that combines style and practicality. The sweetheart neckline adds a touch of romance, while the high slit ensures freedom of movement for dancing. Best of all, this gorgeous gown features a detachable train, allowing you to transform your look in seconds when you’re ready to dance the night away.

Allen

Embrace classic beauty with Allen, an A-line gown that’s perfect for brides who want to maintain a traditional look while adding a modern twist. This dress comes with detachable sleeves and convenient pockets—perfect for stashing anything you’ll need. The versatility of the Allen ensures that you can customize your look to fit your style and comfort throughout the reception.

Shola

Shola is a boho gown with dramatic detached sleeves worn by bride

One of our favorite wedding reception dress options for the bride seeking a boho-chic vibe is the Shola. This ethereal gown features dramatic detached sleeves that will make a statement as you float across the dance floor. The intricate lace detailing adds a touch of whimsy, while the flowing silhouette provides ultimate comfort for an unforgettable night of celebration.

Somerville

Somerville dress worn by bride with strapless sweet heart neckline with a detachable skirt

The Somerville offers brides the best of both worlds: a strapless sweetheart neckline and a detachable skirt. This versatile dress allows you to showcase a stunning mermaid silhouette during your reception and then transform into a more manageable, dance-ready look by removing the skirt. With Somerville, you’ll enjoy two fabulous looks in one unforgettable gown.
