Your Complete Wedding Wardrobe
Being engaged is so much fun. Not only do you get to plan a fabulous wedding, but there are also parties in your honor, tons of gifts, and it all ends with a great vacation. Your wedding wardrobe includes much more than just your bridal gown; you will want pretty outfits for all of the different special events along the way.
One of the earliest parties is your engagement party. This party can be held anytime after a couple has become officially engaged. It is often the time when the engagement is announced publicly for the first time. Engagement parties are all about toasting to the future happiness of the bride and groom, so have plenty of chilled champagne on hand. The bride will want to look her loveliest for this fête in her honor, so she should wear a beautiful cocktail dress. Be sure to get a manicure, because everyone will want to admire your engagement ring
Next on the list of festivities is the bridal shower. Since showers are typically brunch or early afternoon affairs, the bride could wear a pretty sundress (such as a strapless cotton shift), or for winter, a cashmere sweater with a silk skirt. A kitten heel sandal would be ideal with the sundress; for a winter shower, you could wear a great pair of D’orsay pumps. Pearl bridal jewelry sets have the classic look that will suit a daytime party like a bridal shower. By the way, if you are lucky enough to have multiple showers thrown in your honor, treat yourself to a special outfit for each event.
Right before the wedding come the bridesmaids’ luncheon and the rehearsal dinner. The same styles that are appropriate for the bridal shower will work for the bridesmaids’ luncheon. Your rehearsal dinner attire will depend on the type of party that you are having. The traditional evening party in a restaurant or country club would call for another cocktail dress (but nothing too racy or spangly). Something like an A-line spaghetti strap dress in an evening fabric would be wonderful. Accent your dress with high heels and crystal and pearl drop earrings for a picture perfect look.
When planning for your complete wedding wardrobe, don’t forget to pick out a few special outfits for your honeymoon. Even if you and your husband plan to spend your days relaxing by the ocean or the pool, you will need to bring more than just a bikini. It is really fun to get dressed up for dinner when you are on vacation. Wearing a pretty dress will make the evening feel more romantic. Keep accessories simple and relaxed if your honeymoon is at the beach. Pretty sandals worn with monogrammed sterling silver jewelry are great by the water, and easy to pack.
Your engagement is such a special time. Never again will you be so pampered and celebrated. Enjoy the time to the fullest by treating yourself to pretty dresses that make you feel your most beautiful.
