21 Best Afterparty Wedding Dresses: The Second Wedding Dresses Perfect For Dancing The Evening Away In

One wedding dress simply isn't enough these days, many brides are opting for a second gown, often more revealing or comfier, perfect for dancing the night away in.

Be it royals Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle or celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Sophie Turner, the days of wearing just one dress on you wedding day are officially over.

Nowadays, brides are taking advantage of the old adage 'more is more (and less is bore)' and changing after their ceremony from their first wedding dress to their second for the reception or afterparty.

This newer tradition isn't simply the result of us all feeling a bit greedy after a couple of years of having not that many reasons to dress up, but a practical choice for those who have chosen a more restrictive or OTT wedding dress. This means, if your first dress has you only able to shuffle and barely able to sit down (we've all heard the stories), you can chose a more comfortable and perhaps more revealing afterparty or second wedding dress to eat your meal and dance the night away in. Pretty smart, right?

We look to Christopher Kane, Christopher Esber and Self-Portrait for super fun designer options, all a little skimpier, shorter and more sparkly than your usual first dress choices. Though, you needn't spend that much money, since ASOS, Karen Millen and & Other Stories all have fantastic options too.

No matter your budget, if you're looking to switch it up on your big day, here are 21 of our favourite afterparty and second wedding dresses available to shop now...
