I always want to serve y’all in the best way possible, so with engagement season (and the start of wedding planning season!) here to stay, I thought I would offer some wardrobe inspiration for bridal events! If you missed it, I also recently shared tons of gifts ideas for the newly engaged.
Rudd and I had 3 different showers, then I had my bachelorette weekend, the bridesmaid’s brunch and our rehearsal dinner to plan outfits for. I’m going to share exact links where I can, and similar items along the way! Any of these outfits could be mixed and matched for any event, including engagement parties, etc.!
dress // watch band // neutral heels // gold necklace
I wore this lacy midi dress to our couple’s shower in September, 2019. I’ve been dying to wear it again ever since. It’s still left in a few sizes, but I’ve also linked some similar dresses below:
dress // bracelet (similar) // necklace // neutral pumps // earrings (similar)
Next, I wore this bell sleeve Calvin Klein dress to my Christmas bridal shower! It’s a classic style, and still available in many colors:
jumpsuit (similar) // bow earrings // gold necklace // bracelet // neutral heels
This white jumpsuit from J. Crew was arguably my favorite “bridal” outfit because I know I’ll continue to wear it for years to come! I first wore it to my shower in February, 2020, and then again for my bachelorette weekend in Charleston – I also wore it on the way to our honeymoon! Sadly, it’s completely sold out from last spring, but I found a bunch of similar options below:
white dress // necklace // neutral sandals
Next, I wanted to have something white + casual on when Rudd’s family came over for an evening at my parent’s house a few days before the wedding! This simple white shift dress was so comfy and cute for hanging out with our families. It could work for any event, though!
lace dress (similar) // neutral heels // bow earrings // gold necklace // bracelet
The bridesmaid’s brunch the day before the wedding is still one of my favorite memories! I wore this lace shift dress which I love so much to this day. I was only able to find it online in this pale blue color, but there are so many other great white lace dresses out right now:
dress (similar) // gold sandals // pearl hoop earrings
And for the last of my bridal events before the wedding, here’s what I wore to our rehearsal dinner! I loved this dress from the moment I saw it. It’s by Dress the Population and sadly no longer made, but this new dress style of their’s is very similar! I also found a few other similar options for you:
