As Far as I know there are NO color restrictions, etiquette or tradition wise, when it comes to the rehearsal dinner...no solid white at the wedding, unless you're the bride. good luck

As long as its just the rehearsal, it should be fine. Just don't wear white to the actual ceremony.

Not a problem. Go for it. It's just the day of the wedding that you shouldn't wear just white. If you feel it might upset the bride (I'm sure you've heard of bridezillas), just wear a pretty colored scarf with the dress. Not everybody has a large dress collection. I have just a black dress and I wear it to everything. Then I replace it the following year (yes, another black dress). Haven't worn dresses in years.

Just an FYI - most of the rehearsals I've seen locally, the bride is either wearing what she wore to work or jeans and t-shirt.

I think it'd be okay. Break it up with some really colorful jewelry or shoes.

Most brides wear something cute and white to their wedding rehearsal. Is the bride laidback, or not? If not, I wouldn't advise it. I wouldn't care if you wore one to mine, and when my cousin and I were bridesmaids in a friend's wedding, my cousin wore a white sun dress with a cropped sweater and flip flops to the rehearsal. No one thought anything of it.

I wouldn't care, but I was a pretty laid back bride.

If you are really good friends with them, call the bride and ask!! Gauge her response by how she responds, not the actual words she says. Meaning, if she's like, OMG...of COURSE you can wear white, you are good to go. If she's like, Oh...well, yeah...sure. Then you know it's a no go.

On behalf of the bride, THANK YOU for caring!

I don't think wearing it to the rehearsal would be a problem.

It shouldn't be a problem for just a rehearsal dinner.

You could always call and ask the bride (but not directly) by saying something like "Is the restaurant formal or casual, because I have this white linen dress and I want to make sure I'm not over or under dressed".

Wearing white to the rehearsal is fine. The bride will probably not even be wearing white that evening. If she is, and she gets upset about it, she's a major bridezilla. The only day you should worry about is the wedding day, everything else is fair game - after all, everyone at the rehearsal already knows which girl is the bride.

You can wear any color to the wedding rehersal. Just dont outshine the bride !

Call and ask the bride.

I think so. I wore a really cute white sundress to my best friends and I was a bridesmaid. Come to think of it all the bridesmaids wore white dresses or skirts. It was a summer outdoor wedding so we definitely didn't want to be in dark colors.
