The changing of the classic white wedding dress during the wedding has very ancient origins and in the past was a custom that was observed in the moment before the delivery of wedding favours, to symbolize the end of the celebration and the beginning of life as a couple, preceded by the honeymoon.
Over time, this custom has slowly lost the interest of brides since they have increasingly preferred to enjoy the white dress of their dreams as their only one throughout their wedding day until the end of the celebration.
In recent years, especially, this ancient tradition has instead evolved more and more, detaching itself from the symbolic meaning of the time and tying itself more and more to the Fashion Bridal industry and the “Wow” effect that one wants to achieve at a specific moment during the course of the celebration.
In the evolution of the Bridal look the trend of transformable dresses is increasing always more. You can easily change your outfit by simply slipping off an overskirt and transforming it into a sensual pair of lace pants. A trend all the time more oriented to the concept of creativity and freedom sought by brides who intend to stand out and be remembered.
Clean and simple lines in which it is the detail that makes a dress valuable and elegant, paying more and more attention to accessories that help to amaze their guests through the change of look.
There is no precise stylistic logic, but the dress changing often follows an emotional climax whereby one goes from the sumptuousness of a dress ideal for a religious ceremony, to a perfect outfit for an elegant dinner party to continue with a short and fancy dress for the after-party disco.
The choice of changing the wedding dress during the wedding is often made by the brides who, in addition to wanting to make themselves the centre of attention more and more, also want to have fun, seeking the comfort of their look in the second part of the day, replacing their décolleté with very original sneakers with the word Bride embroidered on them or very cute themed flip-flops.
The change of wedding dress can also be dictated by a lightening of the tone of the day, avoiding slits and plunging necklines during the celebration of the rite in the Church, and an enhancement of femininity during the reception at the venue.
More and more fashion houses are focusing on the brilliance and exquisiteness of dress fabrics, such as the natural sheen of a mikado, a very luminous silk even without embellishments and appliqués, which makes a bride glow by day and a bride shine by night with the addition of beads and sequins.
The second dress is a way to look different on a day we would like to last forever, surprising your husband, friends and family, always respecting the mood of the wedding and always taking into account the temperatures and the location chosen for the reception.
