Let's toast to the bride and groom-to-be! The engagement party is a day to celebrate their love and the important journey they have decided to take. But.., how to choose the perfect dress for your engagement party? It all depends on the type of event, time and season.

We made a selection of engagement party dresses, based on different instances in which you can celebrate this milestone, so you can choose an alternative that makes you feel amazing and comfortable at the same time.

Traditional white

Suitable for all types of celebrations, you can start your bridal journey with a traditional white look. A white dress or suit will make you feel 100% bridal long before you walk down the aisle and will make it much easier for everyone to find you in the crowd.

White is a color that allows you to create romantic party outfits, with lace and rhinestones or simple, minimalist and elegant dresses.

Try a mini or midi version for an elegant, relaxed look that won't necessarily compete with your future wedding dress. Remember: it's the engagement party, not your wedding day.

If the party is in front of the sea, you can choose a halter dress and pair it with nude shoes or sandals and rattan accessories for a beach look.

For a party in autumn or winter, you can choose a dress with long sleeves so you don't have to worry about the cold. For a dramatic touch, you can use accessories in black or burgundy tones, perfect for a glamorous look.

Brunch or lunch

The fact that it is a celebration of your engagement does not limit or oblige you to wear white, you can choose the look you like the most and the one you feel comfortable with.

For your daytime engagement party outfits You can choose pastel colors such as lilac, light blue, yellow or pink, these tones are perfect for outdoor events in the middle of the day, giving you a romantic touch.

When it comes to engagement party outfits, the only limit is your imagination. If your party will be near the beach, a flowing dress with a tropical print is a perfect way to take inspiration from the environment and dare with colours and shapes. If it will be at home with friends, a white look with big black polka dots is an original way to reinvent the look.The traditional white bridal look, while adding a touch of elegance with polka dots, wear it with slicked back hair and bold red lips inspired by traditional Italian looks.

Evening cocktail

Cocktail parties, in themselves, have a special dress code, requiring guests to wear the following with a slightly more elegant outfit without falling into long gala dresses.

For this occasion a midi dress is perfect. In winter you can wear a fur jacket (synthetic, of course), a blazer or a leather jacket for a rocker look that combines the elegance of the event with your rebellious attitude.

Long sleeve or 3/4 sleeve dresses are very elegant and perfect for a night of cold weather celebrations. As for colors, jewel tones are an excellent alternative. Emerald green, navy blue, burgundy or a deep red will take you out of the classic bridal look while still looking elegant and fashionable.

When it comes to accessories, pair your look with fun jewelry to help lift a minimalist dress in a dark color.

If you are looking for a party outfit with trousers for a summer cocktail party, you can take a risk with a full outfit with palazzo pants or play with bright colors like green, orange or lilac that are full trend this season. If you wear them with bright fabrics like satin or silk, with rhinestone applications or volumes, you will achieve a striking and fun look, keeping theglamour that a cocktail requires.

There is no specific dress code to define your engagement party outfit, as a bride-to-be you will be the one who defines the guideline for the rest considering the place and time of the event. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and it is an opportunity to dare with looks and start choosing your bridal style.
