Little White Dresses for Wedding Events

White Dresses for Bridal Showers, Wedding Rehearsals, and More!

Cute little white dresses are the friend of every bride-to-be! They make the perfect choice for bridal shower dresses, bachelorette party dresses, engagement party dresses, and honeymoon dress - it's the perfect thing to wear to nearly every pre-wedding event if you're a bride-to-be.

White dresses also make great summer dresses for anyone going to spring and summer events (except for wedding guests - remember, it's still considered bad form to wear white as a guest!) These light and cute styles make great looks for graduations, sorority events, or summer parties!

Little white dresses are the staple of any good summer wardrobe, especially if you're the Bride to Be.

Cute White Dresses

In a previous post about dresses for bridal showers, we wrote a little bit of our take on little white dresses. We love little white dresses and think each bride-to-be should have at least one.

We also think that the color white should still be "reserved" for the bride not only for the wedding but for all the events leading up to the wedding. After all, there's something so dazzling about a white dress that it does tend to make one the center of attention, so shower guests and friends should try to choose another color. 

Where to Wear a White Dress

A little white dress is simply a great staple for any closet and a great summer dress for any age!  Here are some of the seasons hottest little white lace dresses, short white cotton dresses in a variety of styles and silhouettes that are sure to please!  Even if you are having a winter wedding - a white dress with long sleeves or in a warm fabric for the winter season is a great idea!

These short white dresses for weddings also can make great short wedding dresses or looks for informal or intimate weddings, beach wedding ceremonies, city hall weddings, and for second wedding dresses. You might also consider having your bridesmaids all wear white and pick up one of these pretty white dresses.

White Dresses for Brides

Some feel that the bride should wear white to all the events she attends for pre-wedding events, which can include several engagement parties, bridal brunches, rehearsal dinners, bachelorette parties and showers.  If that is your personal style or dream to wear a cute little white dress to each of these-- by all means go for it. After all, it really is the one time in your life you are given carte blanche to wear white.  That said,  my personal opinion (gained while watching TV shows where the bride wears white to everything) is that if your friends' guests see you in nothing but white at every single event in your honor, the big white (or ivory) dress at the wedding may lose a little - wow-look-at-her factor! Additionally, you might just not enjoy wearing white - since it stains easily, and usually needs a little think-through with undergarments.  So with that said, feel free to change it up and wear colors, prints and patterns too!
