Is it just us or are wedding reception dresses increasing in popularity? Scrolling though our Instagram feeds this past wedding season, we saw numerous Bachelor stars, influencers, and celebrities incorporate a look change, or multiple, into their wedding day events. (We're looking at you, Lana Condor!) And we loved every second of it. After all, if there is a time and a place to be extra...it's your wedding day!
Many times brides opt for a wedding reception dress when their ceremony gown isn't logistical for dancing...i.e. constricting off-the-shoulder straps or sleeves, heavy fabrics and poof, or a figure-hugging mermaid silhouette that isn't about to drop it low on the dance floor. Other times brides opt for a wedding reception dress change to switch it up for fun photo opts - and highlight different aspects of their personal style. Whatever the case may be, we understand your wedding costs may be adding up quick and buying a second look can seem out of the budget.
We're breaking down a few wedding reception dress options we love (all under $1,000) for every type of bride!
For A Vintage-Inspired Wedding Reception Look
The Caira Party Dress. Taking notes from a few vintage-inspired wedding trends, such as the basque waistline and a long lace sleeve, Caira is romantic and sweet. We especially love the scalloped lace skirt, with extra full layers for a little flounce.

For The Modern & Sleek Bride
The Jane Midi Dress. Is there anything better to dance in than a classic circle skirt? We think not! Featuring a textured brocade fabric and a high straight neckline, the Jane midi is for the coolest of brides. With also love the subtle draping in the bodice and arguably the best feature...the pockets!

For A Sparkling Wedding Reception
The Dakota or Penny Party Dresses! (We loved two so much, we included them both...) Both bridal minis feature a custom floral beaded fabric for an all-over party sparkle. The Dakota is your wedding reception dress if a fitted skirt and bow accents are what you are seeking, while The Penny is your girl if you want a danceable poofy skirt and sexy low neckline.

For The Flirty & Girly Bride
The Illona Party Dress! With a soft, full tulle skirt and french-inspired lace bodice...Illona is a girly bride's dream. We especially love the exposed corset top with draped silk details - and a peekaboo lace trim.

For An Ethereal Wedding Reception Dress
The Suni Party Dress! With a billowy tulle sleeve and 3D floral details, the Suni dress is perfect for the bride who has an ethereal bridal style. We especially love the light organza skirt for dancing, the blue velvet bow for a simple pop of color, and a clear sequin shimmer.
