Rehearsal dinner outfits

Rebecca, on September 25, 2013 at 5:11 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

So I've seen a couple of posts where they ask if guests are allowed to wear white to the rehearsal dinner, or showing the white dress the bride has chosen to wear which confused me. Is it a thing for the bride to wear white to the rehearsal dinner? I've only ever heard of the tradition on the actual wedding day.

    I think some people do. I wore white to my bachelorette & all my friends wore black. I wore black to both the shower & rehearsal dinner. You can do whatever you want. r

    I'm wearing a white dress but that's only because I bought a white dress to wear to my shower and I will probably never wear the dress again. So I figured I would at least get another use out of it.

    I usually tend to spill something on white, so I went with a dress with greens and blues in for the rehearsal dinner. Nobody thought it was odd that I wasn't wearing white. Also wore dresses of black and white for the showers and my bachelorette party.

    I am wearing a silver or blue (our colors) dress for my rehearsal dinner with the boots I am wearing for the reception. I would like to be able to wear the dress again and I would not do that with a white one.

    Girls just like to do things that feel extra bridal-y around their wedding, and a white dress is part of that.

    Wear whatever you want. Mine was champagne with a black lace overlay.

    I've never heard of that tradition-- I wore the same gold colored dress I wore to everyone's wedding that summer-- I got a lot of mileage out of it and have hardly worn it since!

    It just never occurred to me that a guest shouldn't wear white to the rehearsal. I have almost no white because it always gets dirty! so I doubt I'll wear it then, even my wedding dress terrifies me.

    For the Rehersal, I might dress up a little bit, but we might be setting up decor at the reception hall later that night-if not during the day, so I don't think I'll be wearing a dress.

    I do plan to dress up for the bachelorette and shower, but I'm not sure about white

    I think it's because for a wedding realted event white is a bridal color so why would somebody that is not the bride be the one wearing white? lol

    I wore white to my bachelorette party one of the nights we went out and to my bridal shower. For the rehearsal i wore red.

    I'm wearing a black and ivory chevron print dress - just to throw a little bit of bridal into it

    I probably won't wear white. I don't like the way I look in white usually because I'm pale, so I'd rather wear a more flattering color.

    I wore peach with a hint of black lace. You can wear whatever you want.

    Well our RD is very very casual so I am guessing I will wear shorts or capris and a blouse. It's just wedding party of 6 and us and closest family and out of town guests staying with us. Pizza after rehearsal and then finish any leftover decorating.
