10 Rehearsal Dinner Dresses The Bride Can Wear
Finding the perfect rehearsal dinner dress is an underestimated task. You’ve already found The Dress, but now you need another show stopping/jaw dropping stunner for the rehearsal dinner. You can’t upstage your wedding dress, but you still want your groom to tear up a bit at the sight of you. Don’t stress — we have a list of 10 rehearsal dinner dresses you can wear.
One Shoulder
One shoulder tops and dresses are making a comeback this year so you should definitely give this one a try. Show up to your rehearsal dinner in style with a white one shoulder dress and your groom will be staring all night. And probably a few others. Style your hair up to really give that neckline a chance to shine!

Pant Suit
Okay, this might be cheating because it’s not *technically* a dress, but pant suit for ladies is a total look right now! You already have the beautiful dress for the big day, there’s nothing wrong with a stunning white-on-white pant suit for the rehearsal dinner. You’ll look sophisticated, elegant and ready to conquer the big day!Copy This Look:
Jump Suit
Whoops… we did it again, but we can’t leave jumpsuits out of this! Finding a jumpsuit that flatters your body is basically like finding a pot of gold. Jumpsuits can make you look taller and refined and you can tear up the dance floor in one. Find one with a feminine neckline and you’re all set!

Two Piece
Two pieces gowns and dresses are so popular right now and make the perfect rehearsal dinner dresses! You can mix and match patterns, colors, and fabrics in a way that makes your rehearsal dinner dress memorable. Whether it’s a glitter tank with a satin skirt or a lace long-sleeve with a tulle skirt, you can really have fun with a two piece look! Many stores even already have them paired up for you!

Midi
Midi dresses are the perfect rehearsal dinner dresses. Arguably my favorite dress silhouette, it’s flattering on all body types. It hits just below the knee and, just like the jumpsuit, makes you look taller. With lace, satin, or even cotton, pair a midi dress with some heels and you’ll look straight out of Pinterest.

A Line Style
If your wedding dress is a sleek mermaid or trumpet style, go opposite on your search for rehearsal dinner dresses with an a line dress. The idea behind this is to great a balance between the two dress silhouettes. Many a line dresses are made with tulle and tulle is so much fun to wear. The fabric just makes all dresses and skirts feel like a ballerina’s tutu and you’ll be giggling with how often you’ll want to twirl. Your body-hugging mermaid dress can wait — you need to dance like no one’s watching tonight!

Mermaid/Trumpet Style
On on flip side, if your dress is similar to an a line or ballgown style, consider a sleeker silhouette for the rehearsal (again to balance the dress silhouettes/styles!) Mermaid or trumpet styles can really show off your figure and make you look absolutely beautiful! If you’re not into skin-tight or body-hugging, there are plenty of dress options that still offer that sleeker silhouette with all the breathability.

Slip Dress
If you’re in search of a simpler look for rehearsal dinner dresses, a slip dress the perfect option for you! They offer the same elegance and femininity without the tulle, glitter, or lace. You can rock the natural look for the night with a simple makeup and hairdo and your favorite pair of heels.
Copy this look:
Satin
Satin is probably the quintessential wedding dress material and needs to be on your list of possible rehearsal wedding dresses. Satin dresses make every move and gesture look so elegant and regal — even the strapless ones! You’ll be moving around the room with such grace, your guests will be impressed with your style.

High Neck
Like the one shoulder, high necklines are coming back into trend. They lengthen the torso and can make you look taller. You can really turn heads at your rehearsal dinner if you rock a high neck dress with some beautiful heels. Just be sure to wear your hair up and out of the way to let the décolletage detail the time to shine!
