The outfit you wear while walking down the aisle tends to get all the attention in a wedding situation, and for good reason—but that's not to say that the rehearsal attire should be overlooked. For one, it's another excuse to pick out some lovely formalwear to show off among friends and family (and for copious photos, of course).
If you'd like to invest in a gorgeous dress for the night before your big day, make sure it's something you'll want to wear again. White is a traditional choice, but there's no rule on the subject. (Also, you're the bride, so do as you please.) These 15 rehearsal dresses are ones you can wear even after your wedding is over to a host of other formal occasions. Trust us—you'll keep these pieces for life.
