Ten Informal Wedding Rehearsal Dresses
The wedding rehearsal dinner is the practice for the big day. It is meant as an informal and fun affair where the wedding party and friends can gather to go through the ceremony to work out any kinks in the festivities. Your dress should reflect that mood. The rehearsal includes a dinner at the end which can be anything from a cookout to a catered event or a Mexican fiesta. You should choose a dress which is less formal and more lighthearted. There are many options available. The hard part is choosing the right one.
