Rehearsal Dinner outfits

Got this sweet little package in the mail from Banana - review: the sandals are comfy and oh so perfect to dress up outfits for the summer & the skirt is FABULOUS, if you are looking for a classic jean skirt (that isn't a mini or pencil), this is great - I'll be wearing it alllll the time.



So our rehearsal dinner is our alumni themed with colors of orange, white and purple. FI is wearing (probably) orange or orange seersucker pants with an orange/purple tie. (We may still do the matching VV college sash and tie, but Im not sure). Anyhoo, I want to follow the theme but still be bridal. I want a white dress with a sash/grosgrain ribbon and I'll probably do an orange headband or jewelry (just use accessories for the color)

Here's a sash from J.Crew I could use:



1. Here's classic white Lilly P eyelet dress, I really like this one and it's beautiful


2. Can't remember who this is (I think Anne Klein maybe) but I really like the shape and style - not sure if its bridal enough for me though?



3. I found these all on NOrdstrom by the way but here is one that I'm loving this season, I love that rounded neck. Obv. I couldn't do a waist ribbon or sash but I like the shape.




4. Ok, this is my favorite (according to internet viewing) - I love love love the mix of ivory/white, the eyelet - I just think its so pretty. However, this "babydoll" style is not the greatest on my figure - I've said this before but I would like to try it on.




5. I could do this J.Crew white boatneck (or the strapless one everyone has) in white - kinda typical but classic, ya know?



6. This might be my second favorite - another white Lilly eyelet. I really like the style, this shape is more flattering for me and quite a classic!

So readers, please weigh in - I'd love to hear your opinions!

We've been busy here with dress fittings, getting a veil (yay!), designing our invitations/paper stuff, getting appointments with florist and stuff next week. We are also moving FI this weekend and its graduation so we have a couple parties/dinners to attend. I'm making the yummy 7 layer dip tonight for a friend's cookout.

Thats about it in news here, I'd love to be giving you more in-depth posts & ideas but I'm just busy! Loving the bloggers/blog world though - jealous of the Boston event this summer, so make sure you take pictures!

I love both of the Lillys, and #4 is way adorable! This won't work for you if you want a white dress, but I saw this dress the other day and thought it was cute, and it would definitely go with your orange and white color scheme. Its from Harold's.

I love number 3. It looks like it would be very flattering! You want to be comfortable at the rehearsal!

I have number 5 in navy, and I love it. It's so lightweight and comfortable. I'm also a fan of the look of the buttons on the back of the dress.
I'm sure it would look great with a sash. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I am partial to the J.Crew since you want to do a sash. I love the first Lilly but I think it would be too much with the VV sash or J.Crew sash.

Love the sandals. Oh so cute.
Love the second dress. So perfect for day or night.

I think #1 is my favorite, but I love the other Lilly one too.
