Bachelorette Party Dress

When it comes to the bachelorette party, the first thing you will need to consider is where you are going! One of the most popular bachelorette spots is Nashville and are on overage 1 - 2 nights! If you are there for two nights, we recommend having some fun: shopping around The Gulch, square-dancing at a country bar, attending a concert, seeing all the murals, etc! It's your last celebration as a single woman - go all out!!
It is common for one night on your bachelorette to wear white while all your bridesmaid wear black! You’ll want to rock an outfit that’s fun and flirty. That makes you feel like a million dollars! Our favorite bachelorette party outfits are the Gillian Lace Romper and the Liz Lace Up Halter Neck Dress!
Bridal Shower Dress

For the bridal shower, you’ll want to go for something more elegant and romantic. If it's a bridal shower, your church is throwing and all of mom's and grandma's friends are going to be there - you may want to choose something a little more conservative! A long, lace dress or a high-low dress with a ruffled skirt will give you a beautiful, feminine look. You can also try a midi dress with a bow or ruffle detail for a more classic look. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a jumpsuit with a blazer for a more modern take.
