What to Wear to a Bridal Shower Party

In a fix about what to wear to a bridal shower? We've compiled a smashing bunch of references that you can use, to help put together a tasteful, gorgeous outfit.

Ah, yes. A bridal shower is a mirthful soiree of sorts; the bride-to-be oozes happiness from every pore, where she can't stop gushing over the fancy gifts handed to her. The best part of the entire affair is when a team of close friends plan a raunchy night of fun―harmless, of course!

While all of this sounds fantastic, the hard part―besides wondering what gift to pick out―is making up our minds about what to wear! Many of us dread this part, but it is commingled with excitement, no doubt.

We advise you to steer clear from wearing a head-to-toe outfit in red, black, or white, since red can take the attention away from the rosy-cheeked bride-to-be, black unfortunately screams morbidity, and white is a strict no-no because it is for the bride-to-be. But we've got good news for you!

You can wear these colors by sneakily incorporating them into your look. We'll show you how! There's no need to pull your hair out by the handful, for you'll find a panoply of images that will give you an idea of what to wear for the bridal shower.

What Outfit to Wear to a Bridal Shower Party

For those of you who aren't used to downplaying your look at social gatherings, we insist you don't overdo it. Just remember, this is a special day for the bride-to-be before she finally ties the knot. From demure and dainty outfits, to refined and androgynous looks, we've got it all figured out for you.

For the Bride-to-Be

Absolutely! Because on your big day, being the standout bride is a must!

Stand out in chic shades like eggshell or cream, paired with striking accents for flair!

Opt for comfort! But if you're like Victoria Beckham in stilettos from birth, go for it!

Break tradition! While white reigns, opt for shoes in blue, red, pink, or black.

Alone or paired, these colors radiate timeless style.

For the Guests

Cream and Gray

The shoes that go with these outfits come in downplayed hues of gray and olive green, where sorbet colors would overwhelm and instantly drown the outfit's simplicity. If you wear high-waist or palazzo pants, you can pull off a pair of brightly-colored shoes; no fluorescent colors or rainbow color-blocking, please!

Black, White, and Red

Break rules! Skip these colors at bridal showers? Add subtle flair to your outfit.

Whether it's your baubles, shoes, or handbag, use  controversial colors as you'd like. When you pick out an outfit, don't select something where one color runs wild, but where the colors are proportionately mixed to create a splendid, a-OK result.

A little shimmer goes a long way; from the shoes you're going to wear to the tote you'll be carrying along, don't eschew a sparkly add-on. We're obsessed with the '50s, where this look easily blends a touch of modernity with a retro appeal, as a riot of polka dots take the center stage.

Navy Blue and Aubergine

These colors blend beautifully! Opt for rich fabrics for a stunning look.

A cute dress that barely touches your knees is a comfortable outfit to opt for, paired with a skinny gold belt and animal print shoes. Find ways on how to fuse the two colors together, using fun, flirtatious accessories to create a one-of-a-kind finish.

Charcoal Gray and Rust-Brown

Gray and rust-brown exude elegance. Add pearls, gold, and bold heels.

Light Gray and Nature-Inspired Colors

Gray may seem like a bleak color choice, but trust us when we say this―it goes amazingly well with practically any color, seriously! Its versatility cannot be ignored, where the best colors that work with gray are white, cream, red, and bottle green.

Fuchsia, Cream, and Eggshell

A beautiful blend of colors; this pink is universally flattering.

Pair it with a wide-brim hat if you're attending an outdoor bridal shower, where either kitten heels or ballerina flats are your best options. Choose a flowing, delicate fabric that sways easily in the wind and catches light in a most rhapsodic way.
