It doesn’t matter if you are the bride or on the bride squad, you want to look elegant and fashionable when you attend a bridal shower. But trying to find that outfit is sometimes a struggle. You want to look classy but you still want your style to shine through.
What do I wear to a bridal shower?
Depending on the type of shower, a formal or business casual look is appropriate. A dress with high heels/wedges and accessories make a beautiful bridal shower outfit. You should look sophisticated and special while making a style statement of your own.
The last bridal shower attended was a little less formal. I wore a sundress and wedges. I already knew the color scheme for the wedding (because I was a bridesmaid) so I wore pink to fit in with the other bridesmaids and theme of the shower.
From my experience I know how nerve wracking it is to make sure you have on the correct outfit for a bridal shower. So I compiled a list of tips for finding the perfect bridal shower outfit.
Floral
Whip out those flower designs! Floral prints are in when it comes to a bridal shower outfit. A floral dress or a floral blouse bring out beauty and goes with the wedding theme in general. You can not got wrong with a floral dress. this look is the best in the spring and summer months. You could still pull this look off in the cooler months. You may have to change to warmer colors if the bridal shower is in the fall.
If your closet isn’t stocked with a variety of floral designs the are are many affordable options on Amazon.
Accessories are Key
Hats, jewelry and bets are great additions to your bridal shower outfit. Pearl earrings and necklaces are elegant accessories to wear if you want more of a classic look. pearls go well with a formal setting. For a casual bridal shower, you could wear sunglasses and a cute handbag to your outfit.
Some of my favorite accessories are handbags. They add personality and originality to the outfit. It also provides a place for your phone and other goodies. For my bridal shower out fit, I wore a clutch that went well with my jewelry. I prefer a clutch with a strap for a bridal shower because you will be playing games and may need somewhere secure to put your phone.
Vibrant Colors
If there is any chance to be vibrant, bridal showers is it. Put on you favorite girly color and flaunt it. If there is a dress code or color theme, you could add colorful accessories for it to pop. Some popular bridal shower colors are pastels and pinks. These are the main colors you could wear to the bridal shower.
The idea of is to be festive with the colors. Bight spring color are nice and light colors are also popular. My favorite color to wear for wedding season id mint green. To me, mint green represents a light refreshing color that represent new beginning. I love this color for a bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and any other pre-wedding event because it is not too loud or too soft in appearance.
