Your bridal shower is often one of the first pre-wedding parties you'll celebrate as a bride-to-be! As the Guest of Honor, you'll need a pretty dress or outfit to wear to your bridal shower. Here are a few of our favorites bridal shower dresses for a bride! 

Bridal Shower Dresses for Brides and Guests

There are many pretty and elegant dresses to wear to your bridal shower. We've picked the best bridal shower dresses for you to shop from in the present season. If you're a guest of a bridal shower, we've included a few picks below, (just be sure to avoid wearing white! We also have an entire post of

What to Wear to Your Bridal Shower If You're The Bride

We have a 'thing' for bridal shower dresses, and this is certainly the season for them! If you're the bride, you have so many choices for what to wear for your bridal shower. Since you're the guest of honor, really anything you like goes-- dresses, skirts, pants, rompers, and jumpsuits! In this spring season, we love some of the spring dresses we see that just look like they were picked by a Hollywood wardrobe department as the quintessential bridal shower dress. We have a weakness for lace, eyelet, pastels, pretty sundresses, and florals, really are on display in this post,  but any dress, top or outfit that you feel is your look for your style of bridal shower will be perfect

Bridal Shower Outfits for Brides-to-Be

The outfit that a bride chooses to wear to her bridal shower is a great opportunity to either set the stage for the wedding and echo the colors for the big day or the opposite-- wear some of the colors that you love but couldn't use in your wedding, or use the opportunity pick up on the theme of your shower with a fun dress that really matches the mood. Pretty white dresses are a popular choice and certainly should be reserved for the brides to wear to their showers, there are also many colorful options.  Here are a few of my favorites for this season for the bride to wear!

White Dresses for a Spring Wedding Shower

If you're the bride and you know that you'd like to wear white to your bridal shower, then please also check out this post on little white dresses,    Some of these colorful dresses will also definitely also suit bridal shower guests, but we chose most of these with the bride in mind.

Cute Dresses to Wear to a Bridal Shower

If you are the bride, your bridal shower is a great time to wear white, or pastels, or something that suits the theme of your wedding or the theme of your shower in some way.  So, if one of your wedding colors is green - wear a green dress if you like! Having a bridal tea? A pretty floral dress will always be a great choice! It's also a great time to work in a "something blue".  Pick any color you like - it's your day to wear anything that makes you feel as lovely as can be, so no color is really off-limits.

Bridal Shower Guests

For bridal shower guests, we recommend steering away from white (so as not to compete with the bride) and anything too severe ( like a black lace dress would likely be too somber - especially since bridal showers are usually bright daytime events)  We've written more tips in our post What Should You Wear to A Bridal Shower as a Guest?

Many bridal showers have a dressy casual theme, so everything from dressy pants and a top, a cute skirt,  or sundresses, maxi dresses, and any pretty daytime dress and beyond usually works if you're a guest.  If you're the host and the bridal shower you're throwing is less formal or more formal than dressy casual be sure to give guests the heads up, so that they don't come over or under-dressed.
