Rehearsal Dinner Dresses

I'm in the market for my rehearsal dinner dress (I think I've finally found it!) and have come across so many fabulous options that I felt inclined to share. Below are some of my favorites for different rehearsal dinner scenarios, and I tried to keep the dress prices down below $300. Though everyone wants to look fantastic for each new dinner/brunch/shower scenario, a girl runs out of money to spend on dresses (seriously, it's true). I've personally been shooting for an under $200 dress but might be using some coupons/sales/and gift cards to get the one I want.

The Bohemian LWD

Perfect for the laid back bride and the open air, summer rehearsal dinner. Pros? You can wear it again. And again. And again. I was obsessed with LWDs this summer and would absolutely call one of these a summer investment piece. You wouldn't believe the use you'll get out of them!


LWD

English Factory (1 and 3 - both under $75); Saylor (2 and 4)

Blush Elegance

Blush is one of the colors for my wedding and my bridesmaids will be sporting two tones of blush/pink, so blush is out for me to wear. I do think it's the most romantic color for wedding events, next to white, and would be perfect for a fancier reception. Again, a pink dress will be one that can be worn again, to someone else's reception, a wedding, or any Easter/church/brunch/baby shower event you can think of.


LBD

BCBGMaxazria (a splurge, by a favorite); Joanna August (many colors); Amanda UprichardBB Dakota (under $150)

Floral

I was originally shooting for a tropical floral maxi dress for our rehearsal dinner, but ultimately found a pretty maxi in a tropical color instead. Like the options above, I think a floral dress can be repurposed so many times that the purchase is worth it! Think: paired with tights in the winter, as something dressy for your next tropical vacation, and something you can wear again to a wedding!
