Q for brides who have/had a recption dress!

when did you change out of your wedding gown? right after your ceremony before your grand entrance? or did you leave your gown on for a couple hours, and then change before dancing began? i am trying to weigh my options on when to change!

I bought a reception dress and never ended up putting it on..... BUT my plan was to change into the reception dress after the cake cutting was done becuase I figured by then it would really be time to start dancing

i was kinda leaning toward that too. when does cutting the cake usually come into play? haha. i should probably really look at someones day of timeline bc i have NO clue, and as of tomorrow, im 5 weeks away!

I'm either changing right before the first dance or right after... haven't decided yet. I'm going to wait until I get my dress back from the alterations person and see if I like dancing in it.
