Dress for an Engagement Party

Dress for an Engagement Party

Did you get engaged recently? If so, congratulations! I hope you're planning on celebrating! This dress will make you feel like a bride-to-be in no time!

Marchesa dress for engagement party

Dress for an Engagement Party

The time as a bride-to-be is so finite, that I think it's fun to plan to celebrate and dress-up! If you're looking for a dress that seems to be just made for a bride-to-be for an engagement celebration or rehearsal dinner, this would be one of my top choices.  This dress is so ornate it could even stand in as a wedding dress, and will definitely work as  a reception dress. Another idea is to give your guest a hint of your wedding colors by wearing your favorite shade or one of the colors from your wedding theme for your engagement party or rehearsal dinner.  Whatever you style choose make it a special look, and celebrate this fun time with your spouse-to-be!

Not engaged but know someone who is? Check out this post on Engagement Gifts to Give!
