Two Wedding Dresses: Randy Fenoli Says Brides Shouldn't Change During The Reception

Why More Than One Dress Is A Bad Idea
|

Randy Fenoli, star of TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress," stopped by HuffPost Live on Thursday to talk about why he thinks brides should say "yes" to only one dress, and not change gowns during the reception.

He explained to host Caitlyn Becker that by the time the bride goes up to the hotel room, changes into the second dress, touches up her makeup and has a glass of champagne with her bridesmaids, almost an hour of the reception has gone by.

"It's not a fashion show. It's a wedding. I think the most important thing is spending time with your guests and being in that moment," Fenoli said.
