Many celebrities including Katie Holmes, Jenna Bush, Avril
Lavigne and Christina Aguilera wore a traditional wedding gown
for their ceremony then changed into something more sleek and
comfortable for dancing and mingling during their reception.
This has become a growing trend throughout the bridal market
worldwide.
"Of course, the celebrity trend is to mix things up --
wearing one gown for the ceremony, another for the
reception. That's exactly what Katie [Holmes] did! For the
wedding reception, the bride wore an asymmetric champagne
Giorgio Armani Privé evening dress of silk organza decorated
in Swarovski crystal beads." - www.etonline.com,

Primarily, a custom in Chinese weddings, the bride changes
dresses through the many segments of the wedding and tea ceremonies, up to 4 or 5
times from start to finish; now it seems to be becoming an idea
in many bride's minds.
"For many celebrity brides, including Christina Aguilera, one
gown simply is not enough. More and more, modern brides are
wearing their Cinderella dream gown for the ceremony and a
second and more comfortable cocktail dress for the
reception. This is a practical wedding trend that allows
more freedom of movement for dancing with your new hubby and
mingling with your guests. Again, look to vintage cocktail
dresses for affordable couture." -

You want the elegance of the traditional gown during the
ceremony, but a traditional gown can become a bit heavy and cumbersome
when trying to dance and mingle in a group of 250 of your
closest family and friends.
Bridal Online Store has put together a few matching Ceremony
Gowns and Reception Dress combinations to help those brides
that like the idea of not having to haul a heavy train
around during their reception. Remember these combinations
are only suggestions, we would be happy to help you find the
perfect gowns for both your ceremony and your reception.
