karma: 4 |  AHR Attire
Our AHR is on Saturday. I will be wearing my dress, my husband will wear his suit and our wedding party will wear their attire.
People have asked me/my mom/his parents what we are wearing. Some people are saying it's 'weird' for us to wear our wedding attire. I'm PSYCHED to wear my dress again... but it's interesting to me what people think.
So, if you feel obliged - what do you think about wearing wedding attire to an AHR?

I personally wouldn't wear my dress again BUT I don't think it is weird at all. If you want to wear your dress again DO IT! I just like being comfy so that would weigh out over looking "weddingish".

We're totally planning to do this for our AHR (if it happens...!).
Then again, it's just us. I don't know if I'd really want to dress up everyone all over again (all the wedding party). But it's hard to say, because my sisters won't be here for the AHR.
I love my dress and want to get the most out of it possible!
Plus, in a way, our AHR will be for those who couldn't come and want to feel included.

I didn't wear my dress again mostly because it had a time and place that was special to me, and that had passed. I'm probably the weird one for thinking the dress has its own energy and I wanted to keep it that way :p
I wouldn't say someone is weird for wearing it again though. Do what you want!

Actually, we didn't ask the wedding party to wear their attire - they all wanted to - go figure! :)

I didn't have an AHR, but if I had, I'd have worn my dress. Go for it Heidi- it's your day :) Well, your second day, but it's still your day!

Man I wonder if anyone will take the time to vote " I don't really care" Tee Hee
Your dress is the type that is very suitable for an AHR. IF you had some massive lace decorated dress than it might not be as much fun to wear again.
You go and rock that dress! | |
