Twirl: What to wear to a bridal shower.

Bridal shower attire 101

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and wedding season is upon us. Along with wedding season is a whole slew of other events including bridal showers. So many of us wonder what is appropriate to wear to a shower. There are a few rules but mostly it depends on the location and events.

Rule #1 Don't wear something that makes you the center of attention. Let the bride be the center of attention.

Rule #2 Try not to wear black. Black is associated with loss and funerals in so many occasions. Save the little black dress for a night out on the town or the Bachelorette party!

Rule #3 Don't wear white. Let the bride be the only one in white if she chooses to wear white. Think of the same rules that apply to the wedding.

Rule #4 Wear something appropriate to the setting. If for example you are going to high tea.. you probably don't want to wear something too short or too tight. If it is a backyard party, don't wear something too short and full just in case the wind comes up. Dress for the occasion.

Here are a few examples of dresses that would be appropriate for just about any shower.
