My June wedding date is sneaking closer and closer\u2014and while I picked out my ceremony dress<\/a> months ago, I\u2019m still missing my pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance: A wedding after-party dress<\/a> to change into when the DJ starts to bump up the BPMs. I\u2019ll be saying \u201cI do\u201d in a field in the Hudson Valley, so my personal goal was to find a dress that, while playful, still fit the vibe of our celebration and venue. A bodycon style that might be ideal in Miami wouldn\u2019t feel quite right against a backdrop of tall grasses and wild roses. Something too structured was also off the table for me; a bit too formal for our \u201cbucolic cocktail\u201d dress code.<\/p>\n

So, I did what any fashion-loving girl does best: I got busy shopping. I spent a day bopping around SoHo, popping in to various boutiques, and also ordered a few additional styles online to round out my options. I wanted to cast a wide net, not committing to any one silhouette (or even to wearing white) before I\u2019d given myself the chance to get an idea of what different versions of me would look like on my wedding night.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still in the final deliberation stages of which dress to pick, but after trying on nearly a dozen options, I think I have it. Keep reading to see all the styles<\/a> I road-tested on my journey\u2014and the reception dress<\/a> I plan to claim as \u201cthe one.\u201d<\/p>\n
