Your rehearsal dinner is the last major event before your big day and the official kick-off to your wedding weekend! Depending on the size of the wedding and the wishes of the happy couple, the rehearsal dinner can be anything from a fancy sit-down meal to a casual outdoor affair.
With so much going on leading up to your wedding day, it’s easy for your rehearsal dinner outfit to take a back seat–that’s why we’ve put together a bridal style guide to make dressing for the day before the big day as easy (and stylish) as can be. Check out rehearsal dinner dresses for every type of bride ahead
It’s your wedding, so play up your starring role in a super bride-worthy, romantic night-before outfit. Rehearsal dinner dresses with feminine details like ruffles, tulle, lace, and puff sleeves make the perfect prelude to the big wedding dress reveal!
Bombshell? Yep, that’s you. A sultry style like a lace bodycon dress, a draped wrap sequin dress, or a bustier mini dress is perfect for the “It” girl of the evening.
Saying “I Do” by the ocean or a rustic locale? Destination weddings are all about enjoying the beautiful location and taking in your surroundings–so embrace the vacay vibes with a rehearsal dinner dress to match. Dresses with bohemian details like smocking, fringe, and blousy, flowy silhouettes fit the bill perfectly, especially when you add extras like statement earrings and embroidered bags.
Want to save the princess look for the big day? Opt for a rehearsal dinner outfit that’s sleek and modern (try a two-piece dress). Think cutouts, clean lines, and a hint of skin showing. Your pre-wedding look will look unexpected and on-trend without giving anything away.
Ready to party? Keep it fun in a frock (or romper!) with embellishment and playful details like ruffles, sequins, floral jacquard, or polka dots.
The one-and-done outfit that requires little to no styling, a jumpsuit can be equal parts edgy, elegant, romantic, and sexy all at once. Skip the dress entirely and opt for one of these for the rehearsal dinner–or any pre-wedding event.
