Church wedding

Question

This weekend, I have a wedding. The ceremony is at a church at 2p and the reception is at a venue later in the evening at 7p. Is it okay to wear a more casual dress to the church and then change in between? I don't really want to be in my more formal dress all day and I've heard of many people doing this when there is a gap in between. What are your thoughts?

Yes, I actually look at as good manners and shows respect for all sides of life!

I've done that for local weddings and would say it's common to do that in my area. Some people even show up in their sloppy big tees and shorts and then get all decked out later. I like to look presentable for the ceremony.  if I'm traveling and not spending the night I'll just wear the one dress, but if I have a place to change in between I'd definitely consider wearing two separate outfits.

I always do this when I have a church wedding and reception later. It makes life so much easier and comfortable.

I've done this before as well.  With a gap that big in between I feel that it's expected that people would change. I don't see anything wrong with it! =)

I've done this before! I think it's totally fine unless they've specifically requested black tie attire for both the ceremony and reception
