While I’ve gotten pretty good at creating wedding guest looks, bridal showers leave me stumped. Despite typically being the most casual event leading up to the big day, it always has me staring at my closet the morning of feeling confused. I’ve already attended three bridal showers this season, and I’m not going to my next one unprepared. If you find yourself in the same boat when attending these events, you’ve come to the right place. I not only found five foolproof outfit formulas but also searched across the pages of the best retailers to shop out each look. Whatever your style, there’s an option for you.
Ahead, you’ll find a few bridal shower outfit ideas to wear, how to shop each look, and a little insight on the etiquette required for the intimate event.
When choosing an outfit for the bridal shower, it’s important not to pick anything that’ll overshadow the bride in any way. Unless the bride has specified a dress code (you never know), the best bet is to opt for something romantic like a ruffled dress or floral two-piece set. Since the bride will most likely be wearing white, this is the time when colors and prints can shine.
