My wedding dress was 8.5lbs, and as beautiful as it was, I knew I couldn’t lug it around all night. I found the Broadway Mini and it was definitely something that immediately caught my eye, but way out of my wheelhouse. I bought it and it fit perfect! I purchased it with extra length just in case but had it altered to its original hem. I changed out of the formal wedding gown after the formal dances and a few songs into the party dancing piece of the reception. It was a total surprise to everyone - I didn’t tell a single soul (not even my future husband) about the change. My MOH helped me into it and yelled “ITS PERFECT!”
I walked out to the reception for the surprise and all my guests were amazed and so excited! I was able to fully enjoy my wedding night like a guest instead of lugging around my beautiful formal gown all night.
My father set up a cigar bar for guests and our photographer got these amazing cigar Hollywood Gam type photos!
11/10 would recommend for anyone, and 10000% keep it a surprise for a second entrance!

I just got this in the mail and I almost cried happy tears 😭 it’s so beautiful! The beading has the perfect amount of sparkle and the feathers are so dreamy! I need to take the bust in slightly but otherwise fits perfect!
