Okay to wear same dress twice??

Renee, on June 10, 2018 at 9:54 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 21
Would it be okay to wear the same dress to my bridal shower to my rehearsal dinner? I haven’t found a dress that wows me the way that dress did.

    I think it's totally fine! Especially if you love the dress. I'm doing the same thing and I really don't think anyone will point out you're wearing the same dress. Plus it will he so close to the wedding everyone will be too excited!

    Yes! I'd just change up the accessories. If you love it, get as much use out of it as you can.

    I only ask because my MOH just told me I can’t wear the same dress again.

    I am definitely doubling up. I doubt anyone will even comment, and if they do-who cares? I look great in the dress!

    I promise you that 99% of people won't notice, and of the 1% that do notice, 75% won't care. Wear what you want to wear! I feel like sometimes we get so caught up in ettiquette or what other people will think, and we forget about our own comfort and happiness.

    I am certain your dress will be just as lovely at your shower and every event that follows. Happy planning!

    Honestly I think it depends on a few things:
    1.) Is the dress appropriate for both venues/times/etc.?
    2.) Do you mind if people might make comments or ask if it's the same dress?
    3.) Does your budget allow for a dress for the shower and rehearsal?
    4.) Are you fine being in the same dress for pictures?

    Lol I'm wearing the same dress for both bridal showers (separate sides of family), a pre-wedding picnic for the long-distance guests who can't make it out for the wedding, and the rehearsal dinner. If you have a dress you like, might as well get as much wear as possible out of it.

    I love the white dress I got and am gonna wear it for both the shower and rehearsal. No sense in buying yet another white dress I’ll never wear again.

    If Catherine, wife to Prince William and duchess of Cambridge, can recycle outfit then surely you can wear that dress twice.

    You can definitely wear that dress for both events! The few people who do notice, won't care.
