Changing out of your dress before your reception is really a personal opinion. Alot of women will wear their dress for at least the first part of their reception so they can get the pictures of the cutting of the cake and do other traditions, then change out of it for dancing, eating, etc for more comfort.
I feel that it is completely up to the bride and groom. There really is no specific time. The only thing I can suggest is maybe an hour after wedding so people can go change and freshen up a little before the reception.
In some cultures, it is common to wear different outfits for the wedding ceremony and wedding reception. The bride would change into traditional evening wear during the reception. As a professional wedding photographer, I have been to weddings where the bride (who is of Chinese heritage) has changed into several different traditional outfits during the wedding reception.
What is considered a "good" wedding dress to wear during the reception depends on the bride. Some brides prefer to wear the same wedding dress during the wedding ceremony and the reception. Other brides prefer to change into something different, often something that's easier to move around in as they may be going from table to table greeting guests and/or dancing a lot. A "good" wedding dress to wear during the reception is whatever suits the bride as far as style, comfort, and cost.
Yes, in Westernized countries it is a custom that the wedding guests see the bride and groom off at the wedding reception. After all the speeches; dinner and some dancing as well as the bride and groom mingling with their guests it is customary for them to go off somewhere else and change into their 'going away clothes.' Then they come back into the reception area and that is when they say goodbye to their guests and the guests wish them good luck.
* Bride - The bride should come in with the groom to the wedding reception and be announced as Mr. & Mrs. _________. Then you will sit at the head table and there will be toasts given, etc. Dinner is generally served, then the dancing begins and bride starts off the dancing with her new husband. After that the bride will dance with her father and father-in-law and the groom will dance with his mother and mother-in-law. Once the bride throws her bouquet (at this time the groom may take the garter from his new wife's leg and throw it to the bachelors at the reception or it can be done later) then off the two go to another room at the reception hall and change. The bride may wear a dress or a suit depending on individual taste. It can be at this time that the groom take the garter off his bride's leg and throws it out to the bachelors at your reception.
Planning the perfect wedding can be stressful, but it is often a fun process in which you get to be creative and pick just the perfect elements for your big day. In order to plan the perfect wedding, you must consider a budget, catering, wedding site, reception, food, and more. Choosing all of these important aspects of your wedding doesn’t have to be a hassle. This article will help take some of the stress out of wedding planning and help brides-to-be decide how to create their perfect day. First and foremost, a wedding date must be chosen. This should be done considering the people you intend to invite, as well as which season in which you want your wedding to be held. Some people like summer weddings, others romantic wintery weddings. If you want an evening wedding or an afternoon wedding, this should also be taken into consideration. Another important factor when planning a wedding is the catering. Catering an evening wedding is usually more extensive than an afternoon wedding, with meals rather than snack foods. Also, if you plan on having servers on hand, you must remember that this will be an additional cost. Some weddings also have open bars, which can add to your expenses. It is not at all unacceptable to require guests to pay for their own alcoholic beverages. For weddings earlier in the day, snack foods like cookies or crackers are usually fine for the reception. Everything depends on the atmosphere of your wedding. If you want a more elegant, formal-style wedding, then the catering should match this style. If the wedding is more relaxed, then there is more room to change up the catering and possible spend less on the reception. A budget is always an important thing to think about when planning a wedding. While many of us would love to have all the extras on our big day, weddings can be very expensive endeavors. By shopping around for different caterers, reception and wedding locations, and cakes, you will be able to get the best deals to fit your wedding day budget.
How would you describe the decor in your home? The decor of the banquet hall is too casual for a wedding reception. He's not crazy about the girlish decor, but we'll change it once we move in.
== == General etiquette answer: *It depends on who is paying for the wedding. If the bride's parents are paying, they are the ones doing the inviting. If the bride and groom are paying, their names go on the invitation. If the groom's parents are paying, their names go on the invitation. In a wedding/engagement announcement it is appropriate to use the names of both sets of parents. * If your fiance's parents will be attending the wedding then their names should be on the invitation. If there is a problem in the family and your fiance doesn't want his parents attending then it's just fine putting your parents name only. It usually goes ....

Nothing she can do ... can't change the wedding anniversary, nor can she change mother nature's progression of life events. Surely, in this marriage, there are "relations" other than just the anniversary day?

What is your design Philosophy Do You prefer modern arranging or more traditional Who will be arranging my wedding flower how many other weddings & events will you do on the same weekend as my wedding. What flowers will be in season & less expensive What ideas do you have for my wedding Will you deliver & set up and if yes is there a fee for that service Is it possible to reuse the ceremony flowers as reception decoration? Will you transport them? Is there a fee? Do you have rental supplies (vases, candelabra's plants, etc..) If I need to add, subtract or change arrangement's or bridal bouquets, how long do I have to do so? How soon do I need to put down a deposit to reserve your services? What is the minimum deposit? But for the Most part Make sure you ask to see pictures of other weddings they have done. Also look inside there cooler, look to see how the flowers look are they fresh? Do you like their style. Hope this has helped and congratulation on your upcoming wedding
