An engagement party is an exciting first step to your wedding and is the first celebration of many, so it is necessary to find the perfect modern engagement dress for the special occasion. Traditionally the bride-to-be would wear a chic white engagement dress with pearls or diamond earrings to match their engagement ring. In modern times there have been several engagement dress trends such as the rise in minimalist one shoulder dresses, flirty cocktail length dresses as well as fairytale design details such as beads and sequins.

Whether you are celebrating at an intimate garden party or amping up the glam for a more formal engagement party, there is a plethora of elegant engagement dresses for you to choose from. From the perfect winter engagement dress with sleeves, formal dresses and dainty floral dresses. We have curated our favourite dresses for the trendy Bride-to-be and her guests of honour to wear at the celebration.  


What To Wear To An Engagement Party?

As the bride, you set the tone for the dress code—whether you opt for a formal, timeless white engagement gown or keep it more relaxed with a chic cocktail length dress. For guests, it’s essential to refer to the invitation for guidance on the dress code. The best engagement dresses are versatile pieces that can be styled for many occasions beyond the celebration.


Winter Ready Engagement Gowns

With the rise in winter weddings, it’s important to dress for the season while maintaining a sophisticated look. Long sleeve engagement dresses offer the perfect blend of warmth and elegance, making them ideal for cooler months. For a formal soirée, a beaded gown is a stunning choice; perfect for the bride who wants to shine. You’ll command attention and turn heads as you sparkle with every step. For added comfort, style your gown with chic kitten heels or classic ballet flats.

Formal Engagement Dresses

For a formal engagement party, elegance is key. Whether you're the bride-to-be or a guest, a formal engagement dress sets the tone for a refined celebration and ensures you’ll look polished and picture-perfect.  Sophisticated embellishments, subtle sequins or a ruffle motif add a touch of glamour to the final look. Pair your formal engagement dress with a pair of pearl earrings to echo the elegance of the dress.


A Fusion of Floral 

For a seasonal touch, prints and embroidery can add a playful and whimsical flair to your engagement party look. Feminie floral details complement garden or beachside engagement party settings. Floral dresses are a charming choice for casual celebrations and work beautifully for both guests and brides-to-be. Paired with a lightweight chiffon wrap and accessories that complement the floral tones, you will blossom on your special day.
