What to Wear to a Wedding After-Party?

Wearing just one outfit for your wedding is so last season! In the past, brides were limited to wearing the wedding dress only, without having too much space to experiment further with their looks. However, since times have changed drastically, a lot of modern brides are opting for two or three outfits for their celebration!

Namely, as beautiful as they are, wedding dresses can get quite uncomfortable after a while, especially those big poofy ones. Granted, modern designs, such as those in TEMPÊTE, are much more comfortable and can be worn for hours on end. But if you’re swearing by a big poofy ballgown and want something more convenient later, a wedding reception dress might be the perfect option for you.

We understand that this might be something completely new for some of you. Being a fashion-forward bridal brand, we’ve rounded up a few tips that will help you choose the perfect wedding dress for your after-party.

Coordinate Sets

Before choosing the outfit, it is important to consider the venue where you will hold the after-party. Is it a luxury hotel or a more intimate party? Nonetheless, coordinated sets are a great choice because they are quite cohesive, and you can even wear them once all the festivities have simmered down. If you check out our store, you’re bound to find countless wedding dresses and statement pieces that will make you the star of the after-party.

You can choose a skirt that will allow you to move more easily and pair it with a striking top that perfectly suits your style. If you don't want to wear a skirt, you can choose a pant and top co-ord that will show off your refined elegance at your wedding after party.

Cocktail Dresses

The after-party is a time when you can relax and dress lighter but still refined. Cocktail wedding reception dresses are always a good choice for such an occasion because their versatility will allow you to choose what suits you best.

Consider a mini dress or a knee-length dress for easier movement for dancing. Also, an asymmetric hemline or lace will help you emphasize your style and bring out the glamour. Feather cocktail dresses can be singled out as a special design, an excellent option for your wedding after-party due to their extravagance.

Pant Suits

Who says that you go for the classic bridal dress? If you want maximum comfort without compromising on your style, then jumpsuits are a great choice for your wedding after-party. Choose a quality textile such as satin or silk. Also, models with an asymmetric neckline, such as a strap over one shoulder or an open back, will help you show your style at its best. To complete the whole outfit, consider some kind of belt that will further emphasize your figure.

What style should you choose for your Wedding After-Party?

Since it is your wedding, the style you choose is entirely your preference. This is the day that is completely yours so you can stand out. However, this does not mean that you cannot choose an alternative and non-traditional bridal style, as there is no rule for that. The ultimate goal is to highlight your individuality, show off your beauty, and enjoy your wedding festivities to the fullest.
