Pre-wedding look: What is it and how to dress for this special celebration?

In recent years, the pre-wedding event has become an essential trend in modern weddings. Beyond traditional ceremonies and parties, more and more couples are choosing to hold a pre-wedding party, an opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends in a more intimate and relaxed way before the big event.

If you have been invited to a pre-wedding party or you are the bride and want to know how to dress for the pre-wedding, at Buganco we give you the keys to choosing the perfect look according to the type of celebration.

What is a pre-wedding and why is it trendy?

The pre-wedding is an event prior to the wedding day where the couple organizes a more relaxed and intimate gathering with their closest circle. They are usually held one or two days before the wedding and serve to break the ice among guests, especially in weddings with family and friends from different cities or countries.

Reasons why the pre-wedding party is a trend

Pre-wedding are characterized by their relaxed atmosphere: Unlike the wedding day itself, a pre-wedding allows the couple and their guests to enjoy themselves without the pressure of formality. It's the perfect opportunity to create a moment of connection between guests who haven't yet met, making the big day an even more special experience.

Finally, this type of event provides an opportunity to take more photos in a more informal, comfortable, and relaxed setting.

How to dress for the pre-wedding according to the type of event

The look for a pre-wedding depends on the place, time, and style of the celebration. An elegant dinner in a restaurant is not the same as a beach party or a cocktail party in a garden.

Bridal look for the pre-wedding

The bride is the protagonist, and her choice should reflect her style without overshadowing the wedding dress for the big day. Some options she could opt for are:

  • White or neutral-toned dresses: Many brides choose a dress in white, cream, or nude, maintaining the bridal essence without being too formal.
  • Pre-wedding party dresses: Designs with a fluid drape, boho style, or lace details can be chosen. These different styles are perfect for a prior celebration.
  • Elegant jumpsuits: A sophisticated and modern alternative to the classic dress.
  • Two-piece sets: Blouses and midi skirts or palazzo pants combined with special tops create a current and stylish look that is much more comfortable for this more informal event.

At Buganco, we have a selection of pre-wedding party dresses and sets ideal for shining at this event.

Pre-wedding guest: What to wear?

If you are a wedding guest and have a pre-wedding party, you must choose a look appropriate for the event. These are some keys you should keep in mind according to the type of celebration:

Beach or outdoor pre-wedding

For outdoor events, opt for light and airy dresses in fabrics like chiffon or satin. We recommend choosing vibrant colors and floral prints, as they add a cheerful touch perfect for relaxed events.

As for footwear, flat sandals or wedges are your best bet; avoid high heels if the celebration is on sand or grass.

Pre-wedding in a restaurant or elegant cocktail party

For celebrations at restaurants or cocktail events, you can opt for midi dresses or short dresses, as well as jumpsuits.

Regarding color, it's ideal to use more classic and formal tones such as navy blue, burgundy, or nude. Comfortable heels or stilettos can be the best option to complete a refined pre-wedding look.

At Buganco, we have a variety of options for pre-wedding guests, from flowing dresses to modern and sophisticated women's outfits.

Accessories and complements for the pre-wedding

A look is not complete without the right accessories. Here are some recommendations:

  • Choose discreet earrings and necklaces: Opt for minimalist jewelry, reserving your most striking earrings and accessories for the wedding day.
  • Use light shawls or capes, ideal for covering up if it gets cool at night.
  • Use handbags or clutches: An essential complement to carry what is necessary without losing elegance from the outfit.
