Morning rehearsal brunch?

I would skip the rehearsal if you are planning to do it all in the morning. There are a lot of other things that you’ll need to be doing in the morning to get ready for the actual wedding. Just take 10 minutes before the ceremony to go over processional order with everyone and you should be fine. A morning of rehearsal and breakfast will just add a lot of unneeded stress to your day. I had a 5pm ceremony start time and my morning and afternoon were jam packed with hair/make up, photos, etc all leading up to the ceremony time. And that has been my experience as a bridesmaid as well.

Can the venue do the morning time day *before* the wedding? Agree with Hannah. Packing that in will overwhelm you and cause a lot of stress. My ceremony was at 3 PM, but we were up at 7 AM doing hair & makup, First Look at 12:45 (we were late for this as it was supposed to be 12!), driving to the church at 1:30 so we could be there by 2, etc. Just that was A LOT and super overwhelming. Adding a rehearsal to that probably would have completely worn us out and ran the rest of things late.

Quick question did you know you couldn't do your dinner rehearsal at your venue? Did you talk it over with someone. I know you nervous buts going to be OK. Do you have a restaurant you can go to Golden Coral has a big party room go there if possible for you.

I agree. You don't need to rehearse walking down an aisle. It's very self-explanatory.

You can also do the rehearsal the night before at another location. Obviously it won’t look the same, but what you’re really rehearsing is the order of events, working out the kinks like where you’ll place the vow books if any, etc. So you can really do that anywhere.

Coordinator here! I also second that you can do the rehearsal at another location. If you really want to rehearse at the location, you could still have the dinner the night before without doing the rehearsal. As the bride, you really have the easiest job at the wedding. What you could do is get ready and have everyone else in your wedding (bridesmaids, groomsmen, any flower girls/ring bearers, groom, parents, and grandparents) do a quick 20-30 minute rehearsal so they know where they're going and in what order. Then, you just go with whoever is walking you down the aisle and walk with your partner after! No matter when you do the rehearsal, I don't think there would be time for you to be at a rehearsal and a brunch!

I’ve attended a rehearsal at a different location than the ceremony site. I think it’s completely normal!


If your morning rehearsal brunch is the day before the actual wedding, I would wear a casual sun dress or cotton white eyelet dress. Or even a cute white top with jeans and cute shoes.

At my rehearsal I actually wore a black floral dress. Anything goes!

I second everyone else on not having a rehearsal and brunch the morning of the wedding. Good luck!
