How to Transition You Bridal Look from Day to Evening

Deciding on one and only one wedding dress for your big day can often be a challenge and I’m sure many of you would love to have the option of choosing a couple of different looks. Beth from 36TH STREET EVENTS and photographer ASHLEY BOSNICK created this modern wedding inspiration with just that in mind and show how to modify your look from day to night. BRISTOL LANE created some vibrant tropical florals.

From Beth Walker, owner of 36TH STREET EVENTS, “As a wedding planner and stylist, I find that many of my brides fall in love with more than one look for their wedding day. Most often, brides are looking to vamp up their evening or reception look and end up changing into a separate evening gown. The inspiration behind this shoot was to show brides how you can transition your ceremony look flawlessly, into a separate evening look, with out purchasing an additional gown. This can be achieved by adding additional florals, tweaking your hair and makeup, or adding an extra garment, which can transform the look and feel of your wedding day style.

In this shoot, we began with a romantic, soft beaded cream chiffon dress for her ceremony look. Her hair was intentionally pulled back with soft curls, and very minimal, yet dewy makeup. For her evening reception look, the addition of a simple, handmade, black tulle skirt took this airy dress to another level. She pulled her hair down and went with a more messy/tossed look, to which we added a floral headpiece as an additional statement. What we loved the most was that these minimal changes helped to take her look to a more editorial, high-fashion feel without feeling disjointed from her daytime, ceremony look. We are encouraging brides to not feel limited to the classic look that they love, but rather add incorporate bolder elements into their evening look.“
