About Mrs. Apple Cider

And now for my rehearsal dinner dress, which looks similar to my shower dress (only hotter!). It doesn’t go AT ALL with the country theme, but I fell in love with the dress and had no choice. When I was in North Carolina, I visited a small boutique called K.LA and found my dress on the clearance rack. It was still pricey at $80, but I felt like splurging!

I have been to so many rehearsal dinners where the brides looked so gorgeous and had a real “glow”. I still remember what they wore.

My friend Dave’s wife wore the most gorgeous blue dress - strapless and royal blue satin (hot!). My best friend Heidi wore a beautiful pink dress. My littlest stepsister wore a short teal dress. They were all memorable and made me want to find a great dress!

The top part has a silver sheen to it. And the back is super cool, but I forgot to take a picture. I love the crisscross of the fabrics.

Now I get to think about some fun shoes to wear! I am thinking either teal, or a bright color. The first 2 pairs are from Mod Cloth Online. The flower pair is from J. Crew.

I like the yellow ones! I also saw this pair of teal peep toes (they are pink studio “Bradshaw”) that might be cute:

YELLOW! Those are the best with that dress :).

I see no reason why your rehearsal dinner dress needs to go with your wedding theme–the rehearsal dinner usually has its own, doesn’t it? And even if it didn’t… have fun and wear something that makes you feel gorgeous. Theme be damned!

The cream pair has such flair, and really matches the stand-out personality of the dress!

I LOVE that dress! It looks so great on you — very flattering. What’s the brand? I must know!

I vote for the J.Crew shoes: supercute.

Definitely yellow or cream - I love the T-strap style!

I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels pressure to find the perfect rehearsal outfit! I’m still looking…
