Rehearsal Dinner Attire? Guide

Author, Brittany Champion

Oftentimes, brides become so immersed in the details of the grand event, they forget some of the smaller elements leading up to the big day. What a bride chooses to wear to her rehearsal dinner is just as important as what she chooses to wear to her engagement party, wedding shower, and bachelorette party. All events will consist of photography, so looking lovely is top priority. Every bride wants to look at photos of each event and say “I looked stunning”, as opposed to saying “I wish I’d wore something different”. Regretting your choice of apparel for one of the most remarkable times of your life can be shattering. At your aid, I’ve supplied this post! It is dedicated to brides in search of tips for rehearsal dinner attire that is sure to look extraordinarily phenomenal. When thinking of your rehearsal attire, think fashion and expression of everyday style.

First, the style of venue lends a helping hand. Depending on the style of the rehearsal dinner, your choice of attire should be conducive. For example, if the rehearsal dinner is a simple BBQ you have the flexibility of choosing something a bit more relaxed and fun, so to speak. If the rehearsal dinner will be in an elaborate venue, your choice of attire will need to fit that setting as well. Ultimately, you can choose to wear what you feel most comfortable wearing, but keep in mind, you want to look the part. Your goal is to look outstanding, as I’m sure you will!

Second, don’t be afraid to be stylish! Choose something that will showcase your individualistic style in ways you were restricted to do with your wedding gown. For example, if your wedding gown is a bit on the classic side, maybe opt for something that boast color, style, and high fashion. On the other hand, If your gown is totally high fashion, show your rehearsal dinner guest your simplified style of dress. Doing the aforementioned demonstrates your attention to detail and concern for looking tremendous. Also, be sure to wear figure flattering pieces. Whether it be a one piece ensemble or separates, get fitted for all undergarments (bra and lingerie), and the chosen coordinates as well. Once again, you want to look stunning and you want your pictures to reflect such a standard.

Lastly, choice of color and accessories are extremely important. I understand the difficulty for some, but try not to opt for the little-black-dress. It can be typical and expected. Instead, play around with different variations of your wedding colors, or go with contrasting colors. If you want to play it safe, grey and navy are great neutral alternatives. Essentially, if you feel the most “at ease” in a little-black-dress, I say “go for it”! Just be sure to accessorize to bring some added flair to your attire. Accessories are everything. Your hair, make-up, jewelry, shoes, and handbag are all aspects of accessorizing. If going with a new hair style, I suggest trying it a month in advance to be sure of the look you desire. The identical rule applies to make-up. Don’t decide the day of that you want to go bold with make-up if you’ve never done so in the past. Commit to a trail-run to be sure your choice is solid. Jewelry, shoes, and handbags can add incredible pizzazz. Be careful with your choices and consult with department store aids for their expert opinions, if need be.
