With a wedding comes the pre-wedding festivities. I’ve got a shower, a bachelorette party, and a rehearsal dinner (which may become a rehearsal lunch, but that’s a post for later), and I’ve got to have something to wear to all three of them.

Luckily for me, I’ve already got a closet full of dresses. I’ve worn them before, but there’s no reason why I can’t wear them again! I definitely don’t care if people have seen me in the same outfit more than once. So, off I go to shop my own closet! But I need your opinions, hive. Which of these dresses do you like best, and which event should I wear them to?

Floral dress from Anthropologie:

I actually haven’t worn this yet, but I bought it for a weekend trip that I’m going on a month before the wedding. It would be perfect for the rehearsal, because our venue is a colonial botanical garden and the dress has vintage botanical sketches. But I fear it may be too fancy for our über-casual rehearsal. Maybe a shower dress instead?

Black and White Dress from Zara:

My mom actually bought this for me at Goodwill - it still had the tags on from Zara! It’s very flattering and pretty, but maybe a bit stuffy for the shower or rehearsal?

Red Sheath Dress by London Times:

I like this dress because it reminds me of Joan Holloway-Harris from Mad Men. I’ve already worn it to a wedding, but I think that, like the Zara dress, it’s too stuffy and not festive enough.

Sequin Dress from Urban Outfitters:

Please ignore the fact that I am wearing a big black bra - I didn’t feel like changing it.

I wore this to a friend’s wedding with black tights and a cardigan, but it would work in the spring with bare legs and shoulders for a bachelorette party. It’s by far the “clubbiest” dress I own, but I’m not sure if my bachelorette party is even sequin-worthy.

Taupe Dress from Anthropologie:

I’ve worn this to work a few times with tights and a cardigan but it’s very springy as well. This is a good choice for the rehearsal, since it’s pretty casual but still festive.

Black Beaded Chiffon Dress from Modcloth:

I like this one because it reminds me of Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate, my favorite movie of all time. This might be the one for my bachelorette party, but maybe I want to wear some color instead?

Grey Dress from H&M:

I love this dress but I’ve literally worn it dozens of times, so it wouldn’t be very special. But it’s perfect for the casual rehearsal.

Anthropologie Lace Cardigan with Black Skirt:

This is another favorite, but is it too “office-y” for a party?
