5 Wedding Dress Inspired Outfits to Wear on Valentine's Day
It’s true - there is a universal superstition that your partner isn’t supposed to see you in your wedding gown before the big day, but does that really count if they don’t know you’re wearing it?
If you’re struggling to find the perfect outfit to wear on your last Valentine’s Day before becoming a married woman, consider wearing an ensemble inspired by your wedding gown. Assuming you’ve already found your dream dress, you can put together a look that hints at what your wedding gown looks like. Nobody will know except you, but looking back, your date will be able to connect the dots. You can stick to the traditional white, or since it’s V-Day, you can switch it up and go for the holiday favored pink or red. There’s no need to spend a lot of money either, LVB is all about affordable fashion, so look for something that resembles your wedding gown, but there’s no need to break the bank for it. If you need some inspo on how to tease your wedding gown for the big day, we’ve listed five wedding dress-inspired outfits you can wear on Valentine’s Day!
Silk Slip Dress

Reminiscent of a ‘90s vintage-inspired ensemble, if you’re going for a more minimalist bridal look on your big day, you can wear a white, silk slip dress for your V-Day plans. If your wedding gown has a dramatic back, you can opt for a backless, shorter slip dress or stick to a longer slip but consider creating a slit for a sultry addition. To bring some romantic flair to your ensemble, play up the colors in your makeup and accessory choices.
Off the Shoulder

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a sweetheart neckline! If your wedding gown is an off-the-shoulder number, rock a similar dress that includes a sweetheart neckline and bodycon silhouette. It will give the illusion of a mermaid gown and offers a romantic vibe, whether it’s a simple, solid color gown or an edgier floral applique option.
Lace Midi Dress

Lace and love, the ever-popular wedding gown combination. If your wedding gown is predominantly lace, you can wear almost any version of a lace dress - sleeves, no sleeves, high neckline, off the shoulder, etc. Choosing a midi length provides a subtle nod to your full-length wedding gown while remaining delicate and romantic.
Blazer Wrap Dress

Maybe you decided not to wear a gown for your wedding ceremony and instead are going out-of-the-box with a pantsuit. If that’s the case, you can still have a wedding gown moment with your V-Day ensemble. Opt for a blazer wrap dress that has a sophisticated elegance, with a touch of playfulness, if you choose an embellished version of this ensemble.

Two Piece Set
Opting for a two-piece set on your wedding day has become a popular option for brides these days. It gives the option to have a shorter skirt or wide-leg pants underneath your ceremony ensemble to easily switch up the vibe of your look from elegant to sultry or vice versa. Your V-Day two-piece set can be a combination of colors or materials for a more creative look, or you can match the color to your wedding gown for a not-so-subtle nod to your big day!
