FAQ

• Do I have to wear white for my bridal shower?

  While there is no rule that brides have to wear white to their bridal showers, it is typically a common choice. Pastels and neutrals are also a great option but don't limit yourself to what is popular. Ultimately, the choice is yours!

• Do I have to wear a dress for my bridal shower?

  Absolutely not! If you are looking to wear something other than a dress, try out a chic jumpsuit or dressy romper. You can also wear a skirt or dress pants if you are more comfortable in that.

• Do I have to have a bridal shower dress with sleeves?

  No! These are only suggestions if you are looking for a dress with sleeves. Spaghetti straps or strapless silhouettes are also appropriate for your bridal shower.
  

• What should a guest wear to a bridal shower?

  Depending on whether the bridal shower is formal or casual, pantsuits, flowy maxi or midi dresses, and simple sheaths are all great options. You'll want to look dressy without wearing anything too attention-grabbing—so skip ensembles with dramatic accents and bold colors. Floral prints and muted neutral solid colors are equally appropriate.

• What colors should you not wear to a bridal party?

  As a guest at a bridal shower, you'll want to avoid wearing white or neon, overly loud colors in most cases. And whether you're the bride or not, a black dress or outfit isn't usually the most fitting choice. White or off-white for the bride, and soft pastel colors and floral prints for guests are never-fail options.
