August 2012 Weddings

What Are You Wearing to Rehearsal Dinner?

Our rehearsal (and wedding) will be outside, and for our rehearsal dinner, we are doing a chicken and fried fish buffet.  So, I knew I wanted a rehearsal dinner outfit that was summery and casual, but I still wanted to wear a dress, preferably one that was white. I set a spending limit for myself of $50, so I was happy when I found a summery white dress at Maurice's for $44.  When I got up to the register, it turns out that it was actually on sale for $10!  I'm happy I finally found my dress and at such a great price.

What are you ladies wearing to your rehearsal dinner?  A dress or something more casual?  Have you picked it out yet?

Re: What Are You Wearing to Rehearsal Dinner?

  • I thankfully have time to look around later. But I would love to wear something like a white sun dress of some sort... as for Maurices... I LOVE THEM!!!!

    Thats all! What a great deal though! I am jealous.

  • I'm wearing a cute, short (white!) lace dress. I figure I can't usually pull off all-white, but I'm entitled to for that weekend! I got it on sale at Macy's, and I absolutely love it. I'll wear it again, I'm sure, but I'll jazz it up with a colored cardigan or a big funky belt.
  • I got my dress at Maurices to!!! Is white with like black flower detail?

  • Honestly, I'll decide that day from the dresses in my closet.  I'm not buying a new one for that.

    No, mine is a white eyelet sun dress.  But I think I know which one you are talking about because I tried on one with a black flower detail, too!  It fit kind of funny on me, but it was super cute!</div>

    That's awesome! I love a good deal.

    I'm wearing this dress (click here). It's a little dressy for my RD venue but I love it so I don't care! The colors are prettier in person than on the website.

  • I'm wearing a black and white sundress that I bought back in February.  Either that or my little black dress with a purple belt for a little color.  I haven't decided.  I'm not too big on wearing all white (except for my wedding dress lol)

  • I'm also wearing a white summery dress. I bought it a few months ago at a local boutique.
  • I'm wearing a navy dress that I wore to another wedding.. I love it, and got tons of compliments... so I figured why not wear it again... PS I love Marshalls! $25 best dress ever, besides "the dress"

  • Good for you! Reminds me of the time I got my prom dress for $15....
    I'm wearing a lacy white dress (from Delia's), black wedge sandals, black bow headband, and a black necklace my grandmother gave me as a wedding gift. Black and white, so classy!

  • I asked my mom whether I could wear the dress that I always wear to other people's weddings (which I love), but she said no :)  My fiance's family likes their rehearsal dinner to be somewhat formal, so we went shopping for another dress.  I found a cute, very reasonably priced one at H&M.  It's black and strapless and has sort of a ruffly skirt.  Not usually my style, but it fit really well, the price was right, and I couldn't stand shopping for one more minute!

    Since my FI doesn't get to pick out or see my wedding dress, he decided he wanted to pick out my RD dress. We went to Bebe and he picked out a sexy little black dress. Too bad for him, he doesn't get to peel it off of me that day :P.
    Our reception is going to be at a classy contemporary French restaurant so I think the attire is appropriate I just hope people aren't too shock by the amount of skin they'll see! (I usually dresses really conservatively)

  • I have no idea.  I 'll just pick a dress from my closet that day.  We're doing a lunch first and then the rehearsal so it will be more casual.

  • I found one on clearance at BR, but they didn't have it in my size.  One of the staff was sweet enough to track it down for me at a store 5 states over and it was even more discounted at that store!  Coral is my favorite color to wear!

  • I'm wearing a ruffly white cotton sundress that I already had in my closet. Zero dollars!







  • I've definitely gained weight since FI and I went to prom together in HS, but I love that this dress mimics my prom dress.
