(Source: Bhldn, Modcloth, Lulu's)Between the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and the big day, there is a lot of outfit planning when it comes to weddings. But unlike trying to decipher the registry, getting dressed is the fun part. Let’s just get a few rules out of the way first. We know you’re wondering, and the answer is no: Unless you’re the bride-to-be, steer clear of white for any and all wedding-related events. And to be on the safe side, skip ivory, cream, and other similiar hues. Other colors to think twice about: red (save it for date night) and black, which is too somber for the occasion. Keep it on the dressier side and remember grandmas will be there, so you don’t show too much skin. Finally, skip the jeans. Period. No, not even your black ones are okay.
Still not sure what to wear to a bridal shower? We'll break it down for you.
