The rehearsal day is, after all, the first time you will see your entire wedding party together… and more importantly, the last time you will see your fiance before you guys take the plunge! What a great excuse to buy a pretty little dress! I wanted something cute, light, yet would convey “bridal”. These were the candidates in the running…
Satin Bridal Dress from White House Black Market ($158)
Panama Strapless Dress also from White House Black Market ($148)
Strapless Appliqué Dress by BCBG, available at Nordstrom ($398)
It is pure loveliness that both Nordstrom and White House Black Market have great exchange/return policies, so I was able to try these on… so important, because they looked way different on me than they did on the models! I ended up choosing…
…the Panama Strapless from White House Black Market!
(This is definitely NOT the greatest picture of me, but it’s the only one I have in which you can really see the dress.)
Of the dresses, this one was the lightest and most fun (not to mention the most slimming and affordable 
). After putting it on, I definitely felt like I was practically bridal… truly like the prelude to being a full-on bride, if you will. And of course, Mr. D loved it! Here we are, happy to see each other after our bachelor/bachelorette parties, not yet quite believing that all of this is really happening!
What did you wear for your rehearsal?
this looks so much better on you than it does on the model- woowooot!
Hmmm, I’m thinking of going with something un-bridal — like a bright, poppy sort of color!
I agree with Miss Champagne… love this dress on you!
I love WH/BM I have the top dress and now I need to go get the one you bought, SOOO CUTE! and Miss Champagne & Miss Pomegranate are right, it looks WAY better on you 
agreeing with everyone else- looks great on you!
how was the bcbg dress? i liked it when i saw it but no reason to wear it
I love the picture of you two together! And the dress looks great on you
I’m in the midst of looking for a cute white party dress for my rehearsal. That one looks so perfect on you! I actually am contemplating the bcbg dress but there is no store that holds it in my area..what are your thoughts on it? Just curious
@psu01: @Heidz: i loved that dress too! but given how much i ended up liking this one plus the price difference, i had to go with the WH/BM one 
that was the only reason!
What a cute dress! I love the idea of looking bridal at the rehearsal dinner - so cute
