Must Have Engagement Outfits

Weddings may only be one day…but your engagement is usually much, much longer. It’s also usually full of special events where you’ll want to look impeccably styled. It doesn’t matter if it’s a comfy bridal gown shopping outfit or a classy rehearsal dinner dress – here’s our guide to looking gorgeous during your entire engagement.

 

Engagement Party Outfit

Your engagement party is usually the first party on the agenda. When you finally step out as a fiancée, you’ll want to look elegant and understated but still plenty polished. A sleek satin slip dress in soft Ivory color is the perfect rehearsal dinner dress for formal, upscale fetes. If you’re doing something a little more casual with friends, we’d pick a sleek white two-piece set paired with some fabulous heels.

Bridal Gown Shopping Outfit

We can & will devote an entire blog post about how to prepare for your bridal gown shopping appointment. But to keep things sweet & simple for now, we recommend wearing a comfortable outfit that is easy to slip on and off. Something that doesn't go over your head - like a chic, flowy jumpsuit or a tie front blouse - are definitely recommended.

Bachelorette Party Outfits

Let's get real - Bachelorette Parties call for tons and tons of cute outfits. After all, these photos with your friends are ones you'll cherish for your entire life. A dynamic bachelorette party dress is a must-have. Pair it with statement-making accessories if you're headed to a fun locale (like a cowboy hat for bar-hopping on 6th Street). Hopping on a plane home or headed for coffee after a night out? Wear some cute loungewear pieces so everyone knows you're the bride.

Bridal Shower Outfit

Nothing beats a bridal shower. Bringing all your favorite women together in one room is always the best kind of celebration. For something soft and sophisticated, we'd pick a floral dress in a contemporary cut. If you want something a little more sparkly, we love a girly dress in chic gold jacquard.

Rehearsal Dinner Dress

When we picture a rehearsal dinner dress, we immediately think of something stylish, sleek, and on the cutting edge of current trends. Brides usually opt for something a little more traditional on their wedding day - but an upscale rehearsal dinner is the perfect chance to wear something a little sexier. A long dress in Ivory satin is the perfect rehearsal dinner dress.

Getting Ready Photos

Your last important event before walking down the aisle is getting ready with your glam squad! Getting ready photos are becoming a fun way to let your personality shine and enjoy your last moments as an unmarried lady. Step up your getting-ready look by pairing a sleek white slip with our fabulous Leighton Bridal Robe. Plus - because we hate to wear something just once - you can also wear the white slip & robe on your honeymoon.
