Your Bridal Era: What Wedding Dress to Wear to Each Event

If you’re recently engaged or dreaming of the future, you’re not just planning a wedding; you’re stepping into your bridal era. From the engagement party to the ceremony and everything in between, this is your time to savour every moment, and your wardrobe should celebrate you at every step.

The Engagement Party

Your first celebration as a bride-to-be calls for a look that feels effortless yet considered. This is the moment to have fun, something that’s relaxed with a bit of personality. 

Whether you’re drawn to a clean satin mini like Sateen or leaning into shimmer and texture with Camille, let your outfit reflect your mood. Play with subtle lace, embroidered details, or make a statement with accessories (Leila cape, we’re looking at you!)

The Rehearsal Dinner

The night before it all begins deserves a look that sets the tone: cool, chic, and effortless. Suki is the ultimate choice for the occasion: sleek satin, a halter neckline, and an open back. She’s polished, yet fuss-free, perfect for an intimate dinner or something with a little energy.

Your Ceremony

The big reveal. This is the dress, the one you’ll remember forever. From tying the knot barefoot on the beach to a chic garden party, your ceremony gown should feel like your own. 

Look for silhouettes that move with you and details that make your heart race, textural lace, clean lines, or a dramatic train. Whether you’re the kind of girl who has been dreaming of that one silhouette for years or you have no idea what you’re going to love, our stylists, both in our global boutiques and virtually, are here to help you on your bridal journey so you can feel confident as you walk down the aisle.

The Wedding Reception

Once the formalities are over, it’s time to dance, toast, and soak it all in. This is your moment to change it up. A second look gives you the freedom to show another side to your personality and have some fun.

Think short hemline, sheer layers, or a detachable piece like a cape or wedding skirt. If you’re not ready to change your gown, a bold accessory swap like adding gloves, a cape, or a statement veil can refresh your look from aisle to afterparty. 

Recovery Day

The day after the celebration calls for comfort while still embracing every last bridal moment. Whether you’re heading to a long brunch, lounging poolside, or heading to a boat celebration, Babette is the perfect blend of ease and polish. 

With her relaxed, sheer silhouette and unique beading, she’s effortless over a bikini for beach days, yet elevated to style with a slip dress, low heel, and sleek bun when the moment calls. It’s bridal, reimagined as laid-back luxury.
