I’ve researched backyard wedding reception ideas pretty significantly because I love the idea of a garden party reception. Alfred Sung bridesmaid gowns fit perfectly into this vision: me in my tea-length, 60’s-inspired gown, and my friends in different vintage-chic gowns from this unique collection. Not convinced? See for yourself!

Alfred Sung bridesmaid dresses turn up a backyard’s style.

Depending on the time of day, a backyard reception can be casual or candlelit and chic. My fiancé and I will probably hold our ceremony at sundown, so we can get a little fancier. The Alfred Sung collection caught my eye because they’re fun without being too casual, and they can be dressed up without feeling like they’re tricked-out.  I don’t want my ladies to feel like they can’t kick off their shoes and dance in the grass!

Dresses for all-night dancing.

Speaking of dancing, the Alfred Sung gowns are able to move. The fabric is light but durable, and the colors are fantastic. All of this is perfect for that outdoor party where your friends shouldn’t be afraid to eat a little BBQ and light up the sparklers at the end of the night. I will mention that both of these are on my must-have list too!

Wearable and durable.

A backyard wedding is different; it’s casual but when it wears into the evening, it can turn into a more formal affair. Your friends aren’t going to be jumping into the ocean at midnight like at a destination beach wedding. They might want to wear their look again and again! That’s why Alfred Sung is my must-have designer. The styles can be worn again on New Year’s, your nephew’s graduation, or even that next first date. Versatile and beautiful, Alfred Sung bridesmaid dresses are perfect!
