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!

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!

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.
