Tips On Deciding What To Wear To Your Bridal Shower
1. Wear White
Because you’re the bride, now is definitely the time to continue the trend of wearing white. It’s highly unlikely that another guest will wear white (most know it’s reserved for the bride), so you’re sure to stand out. And that’s definitely the goal.
2. Choose Your Style
Your shower is likely not a black tie event, so plan to wear a shorter dress. Also, keep the details of your wedding dress in mind. Would you like your shower dress to have similar elements (lace perhaps?), or would you rather wear something that’s completely different? Your shower is a great opportunity to represent your style in a different way, so don’t feel as though your shower dress needs to mimic your wedding dress.
3. Be Conscious of Your Venue
If your shower is not a surprise, tune into the style of your venue. A lightweight eyelet dress is perfect to wear if your shower’s venue is more casual, while a dress with an illusion neckline definitely has a more dressed up vibe.
4. Add Accessories
The best way to add interest to any outfit is to pair your dress with statement jewelry and great shoes. Because your dress is white, don’t shy away from color when choosing your accessories! We love BaubleBar for their fun accessory options! Keep in mind: the best way to make an outfit feel more formal is to add accessories (usually sparkly ones), while the best way to establish a more informal feel is to take accessories away or use color to accessorize.
5. Will You Wear Your Dress Again?
Although you want your bridal shower dress to stand out, you may also want to consider whether you will wear it again. Spending a bit more on a dress you know you can wear for years to come will always make you feel more confident when making an investment on a dress that’s a bit more expensive. Not planning to wear your dress again? Turn to Rent the Runway!
