Bridezilla Gets Dressed: The Rehearsal Dinner

So you've been practicing with bridal whites in the weeks leading up to the wedding - we say that when it's time for the rehearsal dinner, it's time to break out of the snow aesthetic and get a little daring on your last night as a single woman. Here are a few non-traditional clothing selections to guide you, with appropriate rehearsal dinner locations for each. From the perfect outfit for that trendy new fusion cuisine restaurant to the look that'll take you from the boardroom to the wedding hall, read on for the best in modern rehearsal dinner looks.

Go floral noir with this fabulous Nanette Lepore ensemble, perfect for dining out at your favorite local Italian place (marinara sauce and white just don't blend, darling). The top has a touch of sexiness that you can take out celebrating while staying as sweet as all Nanette's best. If you haven't yet reached the level of independent wealth, combine career girl chic with a chapel-ready shape you can take from the office to the upscale new bistro with your family and friends. This Alexander Mcqueen frock in sophisticated grey is urban perfection and commands attention whether you're closing a sale or requesting no portobellos on your parmesan-crusted sea bass. It's the night before your wedding - celebrate! If you're heading out to dance for one last evening with your friends, this 3.1 Philip Lim dress can easily take you there as you flit from the diner to the dance floor. Soften up your city chic with this D&G look that's equal parts daring and darling. Combine this fusion look with your favorite fusion cuisine, and lobby hard for your favorite Thai-Indian or California-Spanish restaurant as rehearsal dinner venue. Just not the daring type, or don't want to scandalize the future in-laws on the night before the ceremony? We love this 3.1 Philip Lim ensemble for its schoolgirlish charm that's still grown-up enough to remind the new family to take you seriously as soon-to-be bridal matriarch.
