50 White Rehearsal Dinner dresses
Our brides are constantly asking us where to shop for unique white rehearsal dinner dresses. When the question comes through we are quick to jump to online resources to find options. To make it easier we created a complete guide by answering FAQs, compiling our favorite dresses, and asking for recommendations from other brides.
We will do our best to keep this shopping guide up-to-date so you can actually purchase the pieces you find here instead of having to find something similar because it’s sold out. One of the number one things we love about our career is helping women shop for what they want. We hope you find this guide useful!
All dresses within our blog have been thoughtfully curated by The Bridal Finery Team. Some of the dresses include affiliate links. If you buy a dress through one of these links, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you.

FAQ - Dress Advice
What length should the rehearsal dinner dress be?
Just like the wedding dress, we believe the rehearsal dinner dress should be a personal choice. Of course we always have our feedback and are happy to provide you with suggestions. We are all honesty here so be ready for it. If you love your legs, wear a mini to a short length. If you wish to elongate, your best bet is a mini, short, or maxi.
When shopping for white rehearsal dinner dresses, we recommend staying open on length first. Let’s say you fall in love with the details on a long dress, but really have your eye on a short length. The seamstress could always hem the dress to your desired length.
On Instagram we asked our fans for their vote and 274 people responded, 91% voted for short and 9% voted for full length.

Should there be lace, beading, or floral on the dress?
If you are wanting to stick with the 2024 trends, consider wearing a dress with no lace, beading or floral. We are talking full on puffed sleeves and lots of texture! Now is your time to have fun with your style. Try something on you have never tried on before or go for the dress that you have had saved on your Pinterest Board for as long as you can remember.
Between lace, beading, and floral; we vote for lace. Lace overall photographs better. While your professional photographer may not be hired for the rehearsal dinner, there will be plenty of cell phone photos taken. The truth is, it’s hard for the beading to come out right in a cell phone photo. With floral prints just be careful your significant other isn’t wearing a print as well.
Let’s say your wedding dress is a lace ballgown and you really want a fun vibe for your rehearsal dinner dress, this is the perfect time to change it up and wear something completely different than your wedding dress. Go for that sexy, form fitting sleek dress for your rehearsal dinner to completely switch it up.

Should I be looking at white rehearsal dinner dresses?
We vote yes! Most wedding dresses are blush, champagne, and soft nude tones now. This is the time to bring back the traditional white color to kick off your wedding weekend. When we say white we mean white or shades of ivory. It shouldn’t be a bright white. Keep in mind just like with length, when you are shopping be open to the colors you find. In our experience, fit is everything so finding the right fit is key. If you end up falling in love with the non-white dress, we say go for it. There are no etiquette rules when it comes to rehearsal dinner dresses. What matters most is that you love what you’re wearing!
We reached out to our Instagram fans again for this one. Out of 283 response, 86% said white and 14% voted not white.
Does the formality matter?
We believe you can never be overdressed for your wedding and the same is true for your rehearsal dinner. Some of my clients are having backyard BBQs and others are having a private, indoor fine dining experiences. No matter the formality of the rehearsal dinner, feel free to dress up for the occasion. You only get this one time to feel like a bride for a whole weekend.
When making your final selection on the dress, consider comfort more than anything. While there may not be a dance floor being installed for your rehearsal dinner, there will still be a lot of hugging and time to be on your feet. We all know there is nothing worse than having to adjust your outfit every five minutes. Make sure to study the neckline before you purchase the dress, too. This way you’ll know if you are fully supported in the dress, so you won’t be spending the night making recurring adjustments to your dress every few minutes.

Our Favorite White Rehearsal Dinner Jumpsuits:
One of our favorite trends we’ve seen is the bridal jumpsuit trend. Brides are rocking the jumpsuit look at their rehearsal dinners and at their reception! I personally love this trend because it gives brides another opportunity to truly make their bridal looks their own! And for the brides that just want to be comfortable and not worry about wearing a dress, this is the perfect option! Dress your jumpsuit up or down for your complete bridal look. Would you rock a white jumpsuit at your rehearsal dinner?
Our Favorite White Rehearsal Dinner Dresses with Bows
Bows are another bridal trend we don’t see going anywhere! Ariana Grande popularized the bow veil, but the bridal trend staple of the bow on the back of the dress is no stranger to brides wanting something a little trendier! Needless to mention that bridal bows are the cutest touch ever! We have seen bows incorporated into wedding day looks through veils, as detachable trains, on wedding shoes, and more. The options are truly endless with bows! Accessorize your wedding day look with bows in different fabrics, textures, and sizes. Here are our favorite rehearsal dinner dresses with bows.
