Rehearsal Dinner Attire

The rehearsal dinner is the party before the party. Usually taking place the night before the wedding, it is a smaller, more intimate gathering with just the wedding party and the couples close friends and family in attendance. Not as formal as the wedding, but a dress code still applies to guests. We know finding the perfect dress can be tricky, so here is the top FAQ, when it comes to choosing a rehearsal dinner dress!

What dress style should I wear?

The most obvious choice is to wear a cocktail length dress. These are not as fancy or formal as an evening gown, but still allow you to show off your personal style. These cocktail length dresses can be fit and flare styles, shirt dresses, or sheath dresses. Flowing maxi dresses are also a great choice, especially if the rehearsal dinner is earlier in the evening and during the warmer months. And lastly, a blazer suit is always an elegant choice if you want to wear something other than a dress, but still be fashion-forward!

Is it okay to wear black to the rehearsal dinner?

For spring and summer weddings, bright and vibrant colors tend to be a very popular choice when choosing a rehearsal dinner dress! However, black is definitely appropriate unless stated otherwise!

What does dressy casual mean?

Dressy casual is a step above casual but not quite semi formal attire. A great tip is to pair pieces of different formality levels to complete your look. If you wear a more casual dress, styling it with heels will automatically elevate the outfit. If your dress falls more on the formal side, wearing a low platform heel will steer the outfit away from being too over-the-top. Accessorizing is the key here!

Is there anything I should avoid wearing?

Upstaging the bride is a big no, so avoid wearing anything too flashy or distracting. This means loud prints, too many sequins, or anything overly sexy, is inappropriate. And at the same time, jeans are considered too casual and may be an offensive choice. Most importantly, stay away from white!
