Ideas for Wedding Reception Dresses - Women's Fashion - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. If you are looking for that non-traditional wedding reception dress, then this halter dress is your first choice. It is all white, crispy white, and we have a lining of satin ribbon which acts as a perfect accent on this tulle skirt. It also has a low neckline and it is backless. Now the cool thing about this dress is the elastic waist. It stretches, which means it can fit several sizes. It is great for wedding receptions, or if you are daring, maybe even your wedding day. Here is another great choice for that wedding reception event. It is not your traditional white, it is actually a deep beautiful ivory color. And it has a lot of different elements to it which actually adds flare to your dress. We have here a flare bottom, which actually is taken from the 1950s, so it is very popular now on the runways. We also have elaborate collars. We have tulle designing going around the neck. And we also have some beaded embellishments here. And also the cute bow around the collar. Now those are some perfect choices for the non-traditional wedding reception dress.
