Imagine this: It’s the night before the bachelorette party. You’re standing in front of your closet wondering what magic you can pull out of there but feeling absolutely clueless. If you’re someone who has been in this situation before, you aren’t alone. Finding an outfit, especially for an event as important as the bachelorette party, isn’t always easy. But it does not have to be a problem anymore! As the bride and the centre of attention, figuring out what to wear to a bachelorette party can be difficult. This is primarily because your fit depends on where you’re going and what you’re doing. What you pack for a weekend in Goa is quite different from what you would take to a spa resort on the outskirts of the city. Along with this, the eager spread of party dress codes makes finding an outfit even more stressful. What must you do to get bachelorette party outfits that fit the theme and the colour scheme? Also, makes you feel comfortable and beautiful?! If this has you wondering, what should a girl wear to a bachelorette party? You’ve come to the right place. Here, we have a simple guide for you, as the bride, for what you can wear to a bachelorette party. We have mentioned some guidelines to remember when packing your suitcase to make your life a little easier. So, consider your bachelorette party outfit queries answered!

 

What to Wear to Bachelorette Party as The Bride?

As the bride, you’re the guest of honour. This comes with a special set of rules when considering an outfit. Since the concept of bachelorette parties is a more western idea, the dress code has some international rules. The biggest of them is a white outfit for the bride. Keeping this in mind, read what to wear to a bachelorette party as the bride below. 

 

What to Wear to a Bachelorette Party: A Little White Dress

As the bride, you have full reign on how much white or red you want to wear in the days leading up to the wedding. Traditionally, the bride wears a white dress to every wedding-related event. So, while your wedding lehenga is the most important, it won’t harm you to have some white or red dresses in your wardrobe. Their significance really shines through for all the pre-wedding events you will be attending. For the bachelorette party, we suggest stocking up on rompers, evening dresses, mini-dresses and some trendy swimsuits. Do not forget to add a few monochrome outfits to your suitcase. If mini-dresses and rompers are not your things, opt for maxi and midi dresses along with jumpsuits. Instead of a little white dress, you can switch things up to black or even the more traditional Indian wedding colours of red and pink. 

 

Dress For the Location and Activities

This one is easy if you’re the one planning the party as the bride. So, filling your suitcase with the appropriate outfits is easy. However, if this task is the responsibility of your bridesmaids, touch base with them. Learn about the location and the activities involved before packing. A detailed itinerary is ideal but if things are a surprise for you, then just get a general idea of what you should keep. Remember that different bachelorette cities will require a different outfit. What you keep for a night out in the town versus a weekend in hills are significantly different. 

Prioritize Comfort Over Fashion

Looking hot in THAT dress with the cut-outs and the slit with five-inch heels might make for a good photograph. But if you are not comfortable, this outfit will kill the night. The goal of this pre-wedding event is to let loose and have fun. Restrictive and painful outfits do not fit into this agenda. The last thing you want is a pair of shoes that give you blisters and a top in which you can’t even raise your hands. If you are unsure about what to wear to a bachelorette party, stick to your core fashion aesthetic. If you like dressing comfortably chic, stick with that. Wear pants if you don’t like dresses. You’re the bride. Anything you want to wear is appropriate.  

Styl Tip: While traditionally white is worn to bachelorette parties, it might be considered inauspicious in the Indian culture. So, do not be afraid to mix in some bridal reds and spirited pinks in your suitcase. 

 

What to Wear to a Bachelorette Party: Match Your Bridesmaids

While the trend of wearing matching outfits has passed, they’re still a fun way to celebrate the last few days of your singledom. You do not need to go all out with the outfits. Something as simple as matching t-shirts works. Another option is a set of matching night suits with the words bride and bridesmaids on them. The subtle yet cute sets are sure to keep you comfortable yet classy during the party. Similarly, you can opt for a colour palette to make the best of your bachelorette party. 

 

Think About the Photographs

In the age of Instagram where everything is recorded, there are going to be plenty of photographs that will be clicked. It is obvious that as the bride, you will be the focus of all the images. So, when deciding what to wear to a bachelorette party as the bride, it is necessary to wear what you feel best in. Not just that, you need to keep in mind how it will photograph against the lighting. A sheer dress might be a good idea in real life but can show a little too much in a picture. So, remember to keep only the outfits you feel your best in. Confidence and comfort are the keys to creating a phenomenal memory that lasts a lifetime. Remember, a smile is the best accessory you can wear. 

Go Completely Over The Top

If you are one of those brides who does not care about comfort or minimalism, this one is for you. Bachelorette parties are hardly the time to shy away from getting dressed up. Regardless of the dress code or theme, you can always go absolutely OTT with you outfit! We aren’t talking about the oh let’s have this glittery footwear or that sparkly makeup. But if that is your vibe, go for it. We, however, are talking about going sparkly from head to toe. Or being completely overdressed. Going to a fancy restaurant with formal dress-code. Go for that gown you’re doubtful about. Bathe in glitter and highlighter to shine so everyone knows that YOU are the bride! It is all okay as long as you are the center of attention. And remember: Being over-dressed is way better than being under-dressed.

These were our suggestions and guidelines for what you can wear to a bachelorette party as the bride. Remember that you’re the bride and what you say goes.
