Finding the Perfect Bridal Afer-Party Dress

There’s a budding trend in bridal wear, and it’s wearing more than one dress on your special day! We’re talking about reception dresses, after-party party dresses, and more. Some brides are wearing 2 or three different dresses on their special day. From send-off looks to after-parties, we’re covering the best options on the market to shine on your special day. 

Jumpsuits

Not everyone wants to spend the evening in a dress. Maybe you want to slip into a sleek pair of pants or a comfy one-piece jumpsuit. If you want to party the night away in pants, check out Nadine Merabi’s Cecile White Jumpsuit, Anthropologie’s Sachin & Babi Presly Jumpsuit, Lulus’ Champagne Satin Tie-Back Jumpsuit, or David’s Bridal’s Studio Jumpsuit just to a name a few. The bridal market is full of jumpsuits, with the increased popularity of after-party wear. 

Pearls, Feathers, Sequins, & Appliques 

While you might not want to go extravagant and over-the-top with your wedding dress, especially if you want timeless pictures, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go crazy with your after-party dress. There’s been a boom in short dresses, perfect for every bride to party the night away and be seen off if there’s a send-off. These shorter dresses make it easier to dance and let the bride get creative. Check out Untamed Petals’ Blair or Chrishell, Nadine Merabi’s Lottie or Skyla White Dresses, or Anthropologie’s BHLDN Arabella Strapless Sequin Fringe Mini Dress. These dresses will shine, sparkly, and wish with every dance move. 

Two Piece Sets 

For the bride looking for something less traditional and more young and fresh, two-piece sets are the perfect after-party look. These sets let the bride show a bit more skin with their mid-drift and add a playful edge. Check out Anthropologie’s BHLDN Claudette Embellished Mini Skirt and matching crop top, Lulus’ Illuminated Icon White Pailette Sequin Two-Piece Mini Dress, and the AFTERWHITE for their ILA Alda Sequin Mini Skirt and ILA Nelly Feather Crop Top. These two pieces are perfect for the bride who wants to command the room.
