Some brides wear a second wedding dress for the reception, and with it comes the question of whether the hair and makeup should change too.

Why a second look rarely pays off at a small wedding

At a standard or small wedding it is rarely worth it. The celebration is shorter, the atmosphere barely changes from the ceremony to the party, and the morning look carries you well to the end.

Large weddings, where the change is worth it

At a large or celebrity wedding, on the other hand, it is very interesting. These weddings are longer, with different settings and a far more complete photography and video team. The move from the ceremony and the drinks reception to the big party is a huge change of context, and evening light calls for a different definition from morning light.

A second hairstyle and makeup to go with the second dress

When there are two dresses, it makes sense for the hair and makeup to change with them, designed for the second dress and for the party. The second look is also tried at the trial, just like the first.

The grand entrance with the second look, one of the most special moments of the album

What it creates is an entrance. You return with another dress, another hairstyle and another makeup, and that moment is one of those that most impress the guests. I tell the photographer what time you will be ready, so they are there when you walk in, and those photos are often among the most beautiful of the whole album.
