I am having a small destination wedding in Hawaii and then a reception in my hometown a month after the wedding in Hawaii. Is it okay to wear my wedding dress to the reception so that my grandparents and others that do not attend see me in my dress? My dress is tea length strapless and white.
Please help!

By the description of your dress, yes, it's appropiate and you will be confortable and elegant. I wouldn't go as fas as having a bouquet or a veil again (big etiquette faux pas) but you can have your hair done and even wear a tiara or flowers on your hair.
Congratulations and good luck

I don't see a problem with wearing it again. I'm sure most of your guests will appreciate your reasoning, and would probably love to see how beautiful you look in it. You would still be celebrating your wedding, so it's not weird to wear your wedding dress for it. And since the dress isn't a formal gown, it won't look odd to see you wearing it to the reception.

Yes, you will probably want to because of the pictures that will be taken. As long as everyone else at the reception is dressed appropriately also.

Why not? We went to the Bahamas to get married and had our reception 3 months later and I wore my dress again. Not many brides get to wear their dress more than once. Go for it and enjoy it!!!
Congratulations

absolutely not sure where you are from but us English girls are now getting married abroad with close family and then having a big party when we get back and we get to wear the dress twice.

I can't see why you shouldn't be allowed to wear the kind of dress you describe.

yes, since it is a celebration of your wedding, wearing your gown would be apprioriate:)
