Wardrobe Change

In the last couple of years we have seen the return of the “going away dress.” What girl doesn’t want an excuse to buy another dress? For those of you who need a little justification for another white dress purchase, stay tuned.

According to Ms. Emily Post, part of the maid of honor’s duties are to help the bride into her going-away outfit and to take care of her dress and accessories until she returns from her honeymoon. For those of you who do not want to worry about leaving your wedding dress at the hotel’s front desk until your maid of honor or parents retrieve it, a going-away outfit is a great option! Not only does it save you the anxiety of leaving your wedding gown with a complete stranger, but it saves everyone else a trip to the meeting place or hotel.

Your going-away outfit is just another way to add a personal touch to your wedding day. Many brides opt for a short, flirty white dress that they will be much more comfortable in leaving the reception. Pick a comfortable dress that you will be thrilled to put on after hours of wearing a heavy wedding gown. Not only does this save you the hassle of arranging pickup for your wedding gown, but also by wearing a going-away outfit you have another piece to add to your honeymoon trousseau.
