Formal Bridesmaid

Is it ok to have a formal reception after we eloped?

My husband and I eloped and we still want to throw the formal reception. Is this still acceptable? I'm getting a lot of grief from one of the bridesmaids complaining that they shouldn't have to finish paying on their dresses because the whole point of getting the dress was to be in the church wedding. What should we do? The only thing that has changed is that we aren't going to the church anymore.

Bridesmaids? Completely inappropriate.

Formal Reception? Completely inappropriate.

You can have a party, but not a traditional reception. No gifts, no registry. You gave up that right when you eloped.

Getting Ready for the Big Event – Wedding and Bridesmaid Dresses and Other Preparations

The first thing that the bride and most probably the groom think about once they have agreed on the date of the greatest, happiest event of their lives, concerns the selection of one dress from the many wedding dresses available for sale. The outfit selection process grows a bit more complicated once they also have to consider the choice of the proper bridesmaid dresses – they should definitely match the tone of the celebration and the bride’s dress.

The preparation practice gets even more sophisticated once other details, such as wedding invitations, etiquette, hairdo, ordering the wedding and bridesmaid dresses, adjusting them if necessary, catering, and so on enter the scene. Does it sound excessively sophisticated? Well, it rather is, but it all comes with the importance of the celebration.

All has to be taken care of well in advance. Preparations during the last month prior to the celebration, for instance, will most probably result in a fiasco. Shops – whether regular or online – will not manage to satisfy the ordering of bridesmaid and wedding dresses on such short notice. Consider the fact that, after you have placed the order, a shop also has to place an order for the supply of such bridesmaid or wedding dresses to a manufacturer.

This requires time, as formal wear is not made instantly. In addition, you would have to wait a while for the sipping of the dresses ordered to take place. Even more, the situation could get even more time-consuming if modifications are necessary on the wedding and bridesmaid dresses. You never know; you might have ordered the wrong size for one of the bridesmaids or some adjustment might be necessary to your own dress.

Therefore, start looking for the wedding outfits about 6 to 8 months in advance. One month later, you must have your decision already made and be able to make the order. If you have not managed to decide throughout this time interval, you would better hurry. There is no reason to panic over the delay, as it is not exactly severe. You still have time. In addition, right about this time – about 5 to 6 months – you should be able to delineate a financial plan for your wedding.

By considering your financial resources, you will /should be able to render the decision-making process easier to what concerns the wedding and bridesmaid dresses. Next, it is time to see to the design of wedding invitations and to the catering needs of the celebration. They will go hand in hand with the theme of the wedding – according to the bridesmaid and wedding dresses chosen, you can have a romantic, a traditional or an eccentric, unconventional wedding event.

Subsequently, the choice of the outfits influences a lot the choice of many other elements of the celebration. If anything is wrong with the formal wear, chances are that something would look awkward, uncomfortable or misplaced within the big picture of the wedding episode. In addition, the design of the dresses will also dictate the type of the hairdo of the bride and of the bridesmaid(s). This will also require some preparation, of course. You only have to keep in mind that, by taking your time in advance to browse what we can offer, you can simplify the process and make it easier to handle.
