The Ultimate Bride Guide:

WHAT TO WEAR TO EVERY BRIDAL EVENT

Congratulations are in order for all the brides-to-be! With so much to plan ahead of your big d ay, there’s not just one wedding dress you’ll be saying yes to. Each milestone leading up to the main event allows for a look all its own, so it’s never too early to start planning your all-important bridal outfits


Making the most of each festivity means making the most of each bridal ensemble, from your engagement party outfit to your bachelorette dresses, plus your bridal shower dress, rehearsal dinner dress, and bridal after-party dress. You’ll even want to consider what to wear to the bridal events along the way, when asking your bridesmaids, wedding dress shopping, and at the courthouse — more occasions worthy of a fun and fabulous bridal look!


Of course, the bridal-white dresses don’t have to end after the wedding, as you’ll likely want to pack a few white outfits for your honeymoon! Enjoy every moment of your wedding celebrations in these designer bridal outfit ideas.

WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR REHEARSAL DINNER

Have some fun with your rehearsal dinner outfit and consider wearing a colorful dress instead of yet another white dress.
