The rehearsal dinner is a traditional pre-celebratory event the day before the wedding where your nearest and dearest gather to socialize over an intimate meal. While you’ve probably said “Yes” to your dream dress, now it’s time to find bridal looks for all of the events surrounding your special day. We’re talking the rehearsal dinner dress. If you’re a bride who loves fashion and envisions herself in a sexy yet chic ensemble, look no further.
There are statements, and then there is this dress: D-R-A-M-A. A jaw-dropping mini that is quite literally wrapped with a bow. Boasting a puffed one-shoulder silhouette and an effortless side train, the Dorien Dress is boldly beautiful.
V. Chapman is known for designing pieces that are reminiscent of the past with modern details, and the Violet Dress captures just that. Sophisticated and feminine, ruffled details adorned this fitted ankle-length dress in Coconut Macaron brocade.
Perfect for a winter soirée, you’ll leave your guests in awe with this utterly scene-stealing style. Tuck pleats and organza trim give life to the sculptural shoulders and a larger-than-life bow completes the open-back, fitted gown.
With the glamor of a floor-length gown and the daring edge of a mini, the Stella Bridal Gown offers a little bit of everything. An oversized bow and one-shoulder construction balance a plunging asymmetrical hemline, making a style-forward statement that’s perfect for an upscale rehearsal dinner. Shop a similar style for less from BHLDN.
More is more when it comes to the Irini Dress. This ultra-feminine gown features a full-length ruffle skirt, strapless boned bodice with sheer panels, intricate beading and sequined embroidery throughout. The slight train adds even more drama for your special occasion.
Romantic, but make her fun, flirty, and free. Ophilia by V. Chapman will surely turn heads featuring a corseted bodice and a high side slit in the front. Made from gorgeous bridal-inspired lace, this gown is like saying “Yes” all over again.
An ethereal and whimsical spin on the traditional maxi dress, this stunning design by Rocco Sand features a neckline of dainty lace trim and what feels like endless tiered ruffles at the hem.
Solace London is defined by its simple style and rich construction, seeking to create modern elegance through provocative cuts and styles, and the Lilia Mini is obviously no exception. Made of luxurious satin twill fabric and larger-than-life puffed sleeves stand out like the bride that you are.
Australian designer, Shona Joy embodies a ’70s free spirit with a neutral color palette to carry you through any season. One of her most sought after designs is the La Lune Midi with poetic frill cuffs and timeless bridal buttons down the front.
Last, but certainly not least this vintage-inspired gown by For Love & Lemons offers a delicately draped cowl neckline, cascading chiffon sleeves, and a thigh-high slit with a long dreamy train. Fun fact: Founders, Laura Hall and Gillian Rose Kern grew up in the foothills of Jackson Hole, Wyoming where they ran their first successful business, a lemonade stand, which would later inspire the name of their first fashion venture.
