Branch Blog Vol. 15: Your Wedding Wardrobe: Because One Dress Is Simply Not Enough
Yes, your ceremony gown will be stunning. Show-stopping. Breathtaking. People will cry.
But let’s be honest — that’s just one look in your bridal fashion lineup.
Between the engagement party, bridal shower, welcome party, rehearsal dinner, the hen do, and the reception, you've got a whole season of main-character moments. And every single one deserves an outfit that says: I’m the bride, obviously.
Here’s how to slay the full wedding wardrobe without wearing the same white dress five times (unless that’s your thing — no judgment).
Engagement Party: Bring on the Feathers
The vibes? Champagne is flowing, someone’s aunt is already tearing up, and you’re floating through the room like the bridal queen you are.
Feathers? Yes. Sequins? Absolutely. You’ve got one job here: set the tone for the season ahead. A feather-trimmed mini or a glam jumpsuit is a power move. You're not just engaged — you're thriving.
Bridal Shower: Sweet, Stylish, and Totally You
Think tea party meets fashion moment — but with your own twist.
Take mine, for example: we threw a “My Last Disco” bridal shower, and it was pure magic. I wore a white two-piece suit with a beaded fringe jacket and pointed kitten heels (yes, they were fabulous, thank you for asking). The best part? My guests came dressed in full colour, and it was praised by literally everyone.
The moral of the story? Your shower doesn’t have to be pastel and pearls. Make it yours — theme it, style it, and dance under a disco ball if you want to.
Welcome Party: Effortless Cool Girl Energy
This is your wedding weekend’s opening number. Think chic but chill.
You want to look like you just casually threw on a stunning outfit and happened to be the bride. Try a silky slip dress, a structured mini, or a relaxed linen set with bold accessories. This is the “hey, we’re doing this!” outfit — and it deserves a twirl.
Rehearsal Dinner: Bring the Drama
You're about to walk down the aisle, but first — one more outfit.
This is the night to bring fashion girl energy. Whether it's a sculptural dress, a statement suit, or a sleek little number with dramatic earrings, go big. You’re hours away from your I do, and honestly? You should look like you're already in bridal Vogue.
Hen Do: Go Big or Go Home
The rules here? There are none. This is your time to be extra. Sequins, glitter, feathers, heart-shaped sunglasses — it’s all fair game.
Whether you're dancing 'til 2am or lounging at a spa with prosecco in hand, your outfit should scream “I’m the bride and I came to party.” If ever there was a time for sparkle, this is it.
Reception Dress: The Second Big Look
Let’s talk about the ultimate outfit change.
You made your entrance in your gown, now it’s time to change into something that says: let’s dance. Whether you go for a short and flirty mini, slinky silk, a backless number, or even a surprise pop of red (yes, really!), this is your chance to wear whatever you couldn’t fit into the ceremony.
Lace, sequins, feathers, sheer panels — the sky’s the limit. All eyes are still on you, so make it fun, make it fierce, and make sure you can move. Because if there’s ever a time for a wardrobe quick-change that gets a standing ovation, it’s now.
Final thought? One white dress is never enough for a bride with this much style.
So go wild. Plan the looks. Overpack the shoes. Add the feather trim.
Your wedding isn’t just a day — it’s a full-blown fashion era, and you’re the star.
