It’s not unusual for a modern-day bride to make a dress change between her wedding ceremony and the reception, but one Victoria’s Secret model just took that notion to the next—and perhaps most genius—level. Following her glamorous nuptials at the Duomo di Ravello in Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Vita Sidorkina’s wedding dress did something quite magical.

And here it is at the reception:
Just like that, the bottom part of Vita’s train was quickly removed for the less formal (and evidently more fun) portion of the evening, where strings of lights adorned surrounding trees and costumed performers entertained her model guests. Although the ceremony itself was clearly one to remember, it’s this dress that’s making our wedding checklist.
