Brides today are often opting for an after-party look that’s slightly more comfortable for dancing and partying the night away at their reception. To create a cool and glamorous after-party look, select a second (or even third) dress that might be shorter in length or more casual in style. Make it fun and fancy with satin or sequins, interesting embellishments, a ballerina-like skirt, and maybe even a pop of color or sheer detailing. To pull the look together, incorporate colorful or more party-ready, sparkly jewelry and accessories. The groom can also take part in the fun by incorporating a second look with colorful or patterned details to take it beyond a classic tux.
