Though wedding etiquette dislikes guests looking good enough to possibly upstage the bride, we will quietly avert our eyes when it comes to the rehearsal dinner, and in particular, accessories. The rehearsal dinner is attended only by the bridal party and out-of-town guests, which creates an interesting dynamic. On the one hand, this is an intimate setting; on the other, it is the only chance the bridesmaids have to choose their own ensemble. Additionally, for those who have traveled a long distance to attend the wedding, it is a kind of first impression opportunity to show off to those they have not seen in a while.
1. Pair Fun Earrings with Conservative Clothes
The one thing wedding etiquette won’t give you a break on at the rehearsal dinner is showing way too much skin. So leave the samba gown at home and opt for something more conservative, but also flattering. Then spice it up with jewelry that allows you to express yourself. Choose earrings replete with sparkling gemstones – there are gemstones out there in every color to match every dress – and find a style that works with your face shape and hairdo. We suggest cascade earrings for long faces, chandelier earrings and big hoops for oval faces, and cluster drops for round faces.
