Years ago I got engaged and was far along in the wedding planning, including purchase of a beautiful dress, when the prospective groom and I broke up. The dress languished in a closet for years, until I passed it down to my niece for whenever her wedding day should arrive. I recently became engaged to a wonderful guy, and purchased another, equally beautiful but less formal, dress for our wedding. However, I was talked by the niece into "just trying on" the old dress... and it looks better now than it ever did! Now I'm torn. The old dress is gorgeous but I'm afraid it's too "young" for me (I'll be 36 on my wedding day), and possibly too formal for a lakeside garden wedding (it has a cathedral train). The new dress is much simpler with no train, just as lovely, and probably better suited for dancing at the reception (the train on the old dress doesn't bustle well). Would it be suitable to wear one for the ceremony & the other for the reception, or should I just pick one?
