How to Choose Your Winter Bridal Shower Look
At the end of the day, the best dress is the one that feels like you, just a slightly more celebratory version. Think about the mood of your shower first: candlelit restaurant or a bright daytime brunch. Pick a silhouette you can move in, choose a fabric that suits the temperature, and go with the piece that makes you smile the moment you put it on. That’s usually the right one.
