Rehearsal dinner dress

Chardeen, on June 2, 2010 at 8:29 PM Posted in Planning 0 22

Hi ladies,

I have a question about my outfit for rehaersal dinner. I have seen alot of post here and most of you seem to be wearing white. Is it tradition to wear white for rehearsal dinner? I didn't know about that.

I was planning on wearing a pink fushia dress. Please help me so I can plan for a white dress if I have to.

    Any rehearsal I've ever been to, I haven't seen the bride wear white. I plan on wearing a purple dress/outfit that kind of matches my wedding color. Just because I love purple though =0)

    I don't look good in white, with the exception of my wedding gown so I definitely won't make a point to wear it more than once!

    It is not a tradition. I was also surprised to see many brides purchasing white for the dinner rehearsal dress. I am either wearing black or bright blue...haven't decided yet.

    I am wearing white- and I think that is pretty traditional, but there definitely is no rule that says you have to wear white...wear whatever you want...its your rehearsal! I actually wasn't planning on wearing white but just happened to fall in love with a white dress Smiley smile If I hadn't found that dress I probably would have worn yellow b/c it our wedding color.

    My dress is Black... its a short black satin halter top dress and Im wearing a tutu slip under it.. Its really fun.. its all up to you.. my wedding colors are black and Ivory and so it goes with my colors but I went black only cuz I wanted to be able to wear it other times and I fell in love with it.. not because it was one of my wedding colors..

    I'm also wearing white. I went to a rehearsal dinner a while back and the attire was sun dresses and Hawaiian theme for the guys but I liked that the bride wore white... especially since I didn't know her very well it was nice to be able to spot who the bride was Smiley winking

    We are having a BBQ at a cabin for the rehersal dinner, so DEFF. no white for me. I haven't really thought about what I'm going to wear. Most likely just a nice light weight summer dress (July in CO is HOT), I'm more about comfort then color. Smiley smile

    I don't think it's tradition. I say wear whatever you feel beautiful in!

    I wore a white RD dress because my wedding gown was a champagne color. Silly reason, but that's why I did it Smiley smile

    I haven't decided what I am wearing yet. I won't be wearing white though since our rehearsal dinner is at an Italian restaurant and I am clumsy....maybe I should wear red to mine!

    Lol thanks ladies for all your advice.

    I will stick with my fushia dress and if I stumble on a white dress before my rehearsal then I'll consider.

    I don't even know where we gonna have our rehaersal, could be a restaurant (like chinese buffet) or my parents house.

    I thought about wearing white but since my wedding is Tuscan/Italian/Wine themed I thought it would be fun to incorporate some Italian traditions. They say it's good luck for the bride to wear Green at the rehearsal so I think I'll do that but if find one I like that isn't green oh well... I just want to look cute!
