What To Wear To An Afternoon Bridal Shower

In case you're stumped about the dress code!
Urban Outfitters/Forever 21/Anthropologie

When searching for something to wear to an afternoon bridal shower, use the same styling rules you’d use for a wedding, said Amber Harrison, a wedding etiquette expert at Wedding Paper Divas.

Don’t wear white, she told HuffPost; the bride will likely be in some shade of it. From there, narrow your picks down to something pretty that’s sure to photograph well, she explained.

“As a general rule, stay away from black, white or busy, small patterns,” Harrison said. “Saturated, solid colors with a playful detail, like sweet buttons or an interesting collar or neckline, are a great choice.”

Below, we’ve gathered 22 sweet frocks that fit the bill.
